about

"Fascinating … defies categorisation … an internal coherence which makes it compulsive listening … an art-rock mini-universe" – Joe Cushley, Mojo

Emotionally and sonically this record is deliberately located in the early 70s, the time when I was learning about music by listening not only to Miles, Softs, Henry Cow, Faust, but also to Fairports, John Martyn, and Nick Drake (as well as a load of American stuff from the Velvets to AACM whose presence doesn't make itself quite so apparent here!). I'm not a nostalgist, but as I keep returning to that era in my listening, so too I wanted to put my own spin on that peculiar time in English music. By using the acoustic guitars and other folk sounds alongside the jazz and electroacoustic elements here I've tried to recreate that mix of ideas and the wildly optimistic feeling of that time, that music could make absolutely anything possible; and if I've managed to capture even a small trace of that delicious "Witchseason" feeling, then I'll be happy.

For Future Reference

"a sound palette which sits in a place between amplified Fusion, grand big band sound, yet also sweaty improvisational club atmosphere, without ever clearly committing to one of these aspects for long. This music, which is presented in an easily digestable average song length of seven minutes, flows between styles very subtly without you even actively noticing it during casual listening." https://derohlsen.blogspot.com/2023/07/jazz-in-britain-barbara-thompson-first.html Der Ohlsen

There is something about about the way the strings and the winds talk to each other in this album that is attractive. The relaxed pace of many of the pieces also fits my taste. aswinmusiclistening

Great set . Elton alas is no longer with us . We will not see his like again . Bandcamp has facilitated my explorations for finding other wise obscure releases. Cheers to Bandcamp!! Nick Bradey
