I am a big fan of the 60s-70s progressive and psychedelic movements in music, and it seems many of them were pretty enlightened regarding these topics. Here are some examples that I found.
This is the album cover for leftover by Kansas. I feel this is an image of a philosopher hard at work, possibly trying to find the philosophers stone with the usual alchemy symbol of the fireplace behind him, however he is writing it in music form. Also the last song on the album is "magnum opus", which was another title for the great work.
The Moody Blues had an interesting album called "in search of the lost chord". This is an obvious reference to what the masons and other esoteric groups call "the lost word" or the masters word. The bible is filled with this "word" but never actually reveals what it is, supposedly God has a name that is unpronounceable to man since the languages were "confused" at babel. The last 2 songs on the album are "the word" and "om", which implies the frequency associated with the mantra is the lost chord.
The band earth wind and fire had an obsession with these topics as you can see by the following. Their name is a reference to 3 of the elements, wind being the same as air. This album is titled "I AM" which is a reference to the translation of the Hebrew name of God in the Torah. And you can see the Egyptian symbolism on it. The first song is "In The Stone", which is a reference to the philoshoper's stone. Here is a bit of lyrics from the song
"Deep inside, our hearts for us, To keep-lies a spark of light that never sleeps, The greatest you've ever known, Yea is written in the stone. In the stone, you'll find the meaning why you're not standing tall, in the stone the light is shining, forever touching all-"
This is another one of their albums with the Egyptian theme again, the first song on the album is called "serpentine fire" which is a reference to the serpent of the Kundalini within the body. The writer himself said it had to do with sexual energy, so I imagine he studied Tantra deeply.
Do you guys know of any more like these?
