Ramases
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 1990s[1].
