Hobbitozz ... A Land That Never Was is a psychedelic prog rock fairy tale that takes place in a fantasy world somewhere between Middle Earth and the Land of Oz and relates the story of Forest Boy who awakens one morning to hear a bird singing to him that he must bury his father who has died in the night and begin a journey through the sylvan landscape of Hobbitozz to confront the roots of its demise and discover his destiny. The album is the first in a multi-part series of psychedelic sci-fi/fantasy rock albums that take place in a fictional universe conceived by REPTIEL and inspired by Celtic mythology, English and American folklore, fantasy and science fiction, pagan and occult rituals, and REPTIEL's own "ceremonial musick" sessions in which they claim to communicate with plantae, earth and dark matter.
