Comments

• In precessional astrology, the Age of Capricorn is a putative astrological age demarcated by the slow westward drift of the vernal equinox through the zodiac. Astrology here is treated as mystical cosmology, not science.
• Capricorn is the sea-goat — the hybrid creature of the water and the mountain — resonating with the sea-monster Leviathan of track 3 and the labyrinth-bull Minotaur of track 12 ("Blood In The Labyrinth").
• Plays explicitly against "Aquarius" on Music Has the Right to Children and Stockhausen's notion of ages (cited in the "Aquarius" lyrics). Capricorn, in some occult systems, is the sign of the material and the demonic; sits naturally on an album called Inferno.
