Ramases was the creation and alter-ego of Martin Raphael, born in
Sheffield, UK. Formerly an army PT instructor, whilst involved in a
central heating business in Scotland, was inspired to assume the mantle of
the Egyptian Pharaoh of whom he believed himself a reincarnation, and take
up a musical career. Early singles (recorded with his wife) failed to make
any impact, Space Hymns was recorded at Strawberry Studios in Stockport
with soon-to-be members of 10cc.
Glass Top Coffin was recorded following relocation to Felixstowe, and
Ramases retired from the music business soon afterwards. He committed
suicide during the early 1990sMark Powell, sleevenotes from Time Machine A
Vertigo Retrospective.
