SCARCE 1970 LONDON UNDERGROUND HIPPIE ARTIFACT
PRODUCED BY PINK FLOYD
PRINCIPAL EDWARDS MAGIC THEATRE
The Asmoto Running Band
UK - DANDELION RECORDS - DAN 8002
MINT CLEAN VINYL!
RARE ...Original 1970 BRITISH first pressing in gatefold sleeve ... produced by Pink Floyd's Nick Mason ...
"The Asmoto Running band" is the second and final album released in the band name. Pink Floyd's Nick Mason steps in as producer, Principal Edwards Magic Theatre having supported the Floyd on numerous occasions. It is even suggested in the sleeve notes for the See for Miles reissue (but not substantiated), that Mason was involved with lead singer Vivienne McAuliffe at the time. The legendary Alexis Korner also appears to be around, taking credit for the overall publisher of the music. His precise roll beyond that though (if any) is less clear.
Inevitably for a band whose line up reads more like a class register, there are a few line up changes here, but most of those involved on "Soundtrack", including thankfully the gifted lead vocalist Vivienne McAuliffe, are still at their desks. The tracks are generally a bit briefer and more focused this time, than on the "Soundtrack" debut, the superior production being immediately apparent. "McAlpine's dream", which opens the album, is a sort of blending of Pentangle, The Incredible String Band and Curved Air with a bit of Julians Treatment in the mix. As with the songs on the first album, the arrangement is complex and ambitious. From here, we merge straight into "McAlpine versus the Asmoto", the two tracks combined forming a 12+minute suite. The latter part is a pounding instrumental, at times sounding rather Genesis like, but featuring violin as the lead instrument. Guitar work is also more prevelant on this album. The "Asmoto" theme runs through much of the album, although what that theme is actually about is not something we can shed any light on. It is likely that the accompanying live show brought the story to life, but even then this would probably have been in abstract format. The group would then implode soon after this album, although three members would go on for a couple years and a third album (on the Deram label) under the reduced Principal Edwards moniker. Only the superb Vivienne McAuliffe would pursue with a long studio session career. - Belinda Bourquin / voices, keyboards, piano, group member, vocals, violin, fiddle, recorders, strings- Roots Cartwright / Spanish guitar, bass guitar, recorder, guitar, group member, electric guitar, acoustic guitar
