About
Gareth Mitchell was a member of Secret Garden, a Bristol U.K. band that also counted Richard Walker of Amp and David Pearce from Flying Saucer Attack and now in clear horizon as members.
Relocating to London, Mitchell ended up playing guitar in the live and touring incarnation of Amp, he contributed to the Astralmoonbeamprojections album.
Around 1996 Gareth Mitchell sent kranky some solo recordings he had made under the name Philosopher's Stone.
With the exception of a bass guitar contribution from Andy Revell on "Spirit Leaves the Body", all the songs that ended up on the debut Philosopher's Stone album, Preparation, were written, performed and recorded by Gareth Mitchell. Preparation was released in the spring of 1997. The new music was distinctly unlike Mitchell's previous work, like the cover art of snow covered megaliths, the music on Preparation seemed distinct and, somehow, old. "Gareth Mitchell... is at heart a songwriter of the Scott Walker persuasion.
It's to his credit that this album is more an exploration of the power of music than words.
Too many songwriters are half-assed about the textures and possibilities of their medium, while too many sonic explorers seem cold and passionless, in it for the art not the heart. Philosopher's Stone is a project that filters its lyricism through manipulated sounds so that most of the music is instrumental, and the vocals come, when they do, as a further distillation of mood.
Such restraint characterizes the whole album...This is music in which emotion is wrung out of effects boxes and computers, humanity pitched against manipulation, and as such is something of a soundtrack for our times.
Where Gareth Mitchell succeeds uniquely is in his measured use of vocals. When he sings - not mutters, not whispers, but really sings - he makes sense out of his music.
What is implicit in the instrumentals, in the melancholic drones and dislocated samples, all the nostalgia and decay and regret and longing, is finally made evident." [*]K R A N K Y

57625284"The Circular Ruins" - одно из самых прекрасных музыкальных произведений, что мне когда-либо доводилось слышать.
Да ну. Попса сопливая, вокал как у педофила-пенсионера, да ещё и концовка неоправданно оглушительная. Самые интересные треки на альбоме — это “Places Where The Mind Dies” и “Treehouse”.
