Their studio recordings and tours have featured different line-ups, as the group performs a wide range of musical styles, mostly instrumental, including surf rock, Persian, Arab, Indian, death metal, film music, electronic music, and various others.
The band's name was inspired by the "Secret Chiefs" said to inspire and guide various esoteric and mystical groups, and is a reflection of Spruance's interest in such philosophies.
In 2007, it was announced Secret Chiefs 3 has always been a general name for seven different bands, each representing a different aspect of Spruance's musical and philosophical interests. The seven bands are The Electromagnetic Azoth, UR, Ishraqiyun, Traditionalists, Holy Vehm, FORMS, and NT Fan. Spruance has stated that the sound collages of The Electromagnetic Azoth serve as the center of Secret Chiefs 3.
The albums Book of Horizons (2004) and Satellite Supersonic Vol. 1 (2010) were conceived as compilation albums featuring the satellite bands under their own names. All bands have appeared on at least one of these albums. Ishraqiyun and Traditionalists have delivered full-length albums.

Anytime I listen to this song I imagine biblically accurate angels having an epic sword/dragonball z style fight throughout a cloudy sky. It's pretty epic

Recently was at muntain Sinai in Egypt. There is the orthodox monastery at the foot of the mountain. On the walls of the temple there are many signs of Allah name and crosses. This song is the best illustration of coexistence of Abrahamic religions for western people.

At that particular monastery they actually have a letter from Mohammed instructing Muslims to honor the holiness of the site.

I think my comments from years ago got deleted somehow but in any event, to anyone looking at this in 2018:
This song is actually in 4/4, despite how it sounds. The bass and drums, especially the drums, play the rhythmic phrase in the verses in such a way as to give the impression that the downbeat is on the "a" of the beat (as in "1-e-+a"), which then creates the impression that the pre-chorus drops a beat in moving to the chorus. The chorus makes it obvious where the downbeat really is, but then it gets obscured when they move back to the verse. It's easiest to hear it in the 2nd verse (beginning at 0:38) because the keyboard plays off-beats throughout this verse. Count along and you'll see.

I like how the comments section on prog / avant garde sort of music is always filled with people discussing time signatures, extended chords and what have you.

This is fucking intense.

They never recovered after Corky Buchek left as singer. Sad!
