The Hologram People is a collaboration between Jonathan Parkes from Korb and Dominic Keen, once of Death In Vegas and more recently from Studio Komische. 'Sacred Ritual To Unlock The Mountain Portal' is an LP of 1960s inspired psychedelia, blending the loose groove of late 1960s and the sinister funk of Lalo Schifrin soundtracks.

The album was originally released on cassette and cd by woodford halse and has been crying out for the drr vinyl treatment. This is what the band themselves have to say about the album in their own special way:- "what you hold before you is the artefact of a sacred ritual — one that was enacted purely as an aide for its makers, the hologram people, as they wrestled the arduousness of awakening from what was once presumed to be an eternal slumber. uniting ancient wisdom with futuristic technologies, they drew power from their merging memories. from those, they forged a sublime rite of sound-based spells that lay out their manifesto for the future. it was this musical missive that saw these two translucent, transgalactic trippers transmogrified; once again reclaiming their rightful spot in the sonic stratosphere. these are sacrosanct rituals, the otic catalysts to our cosmic awakenings. they are the conduits through which we traverse chapel perilous. the hologram people advise no one to attempt this journey without the correct and proper physical and mental preparation. exercise extreme caution. the hologram people take no responsibility for follies of the unlearned. cosmically yours dreamlord & kosmische" "veering through the vintage acid-kosmiche contours of amon düül ii and ash ra tempel, sublime shades of pink floyd's  more' soundtrack lp, soaring near-symphonic pastoralism, voodoo space-funk and brian eno-meets-tangarine dream swirling atmospherics, keen and parkes clearly have great record collections to influence them"
