HUGH HOPPER ALAN GOWEN ‘TWO RAINBOWS DAILY’ 1980 VINYL LP

Hugh Hopper (of Soft Machine fame) and Alan Gowen (Gilgamesh, National Health) first met in January 1978 and recorded together with Soft Head and Gowen's Gilgamesh (on their second album Another Fine Tune). At the end of 1978, Hopper retired, only to come back to music in 1980. Waiting for him was his friend Gowen, who proposed a duo project.

Two Rainbows Daily was recorded during the first week of June 1980 and released on the short-lived Red Records. There are only keyboards and bass, sometimes with multiple overdubs, keeping it a two-man creation. Therefore, the mood of the album remains very intimate and friendly. Two Rainbows Daily is simply about two friends crafting Moog and bass melodies that retain something from the Canterbury sound but remain very laid-back. This is Sunday afternoon jamming in the living room with a cup of tea music and is as close as new age Canterbury rock ever got.

Sleeve condition: Ex, no writing or damage.

Record condition: Near Mint, looks unplayed and plays flawlessly.
