GILGAMESH ORIGINAL (A1 + B1) 1978 ‘Another Fine Tune You’ve Go Me Into’ VINYL LP
Like finely tattered lace, Gilgamesh created intricate music that was light and airy, its moods mostly gentle, yet its power incontrovertible.
Two years had passed since the band's debut album, and the group had splintered, with the members going on to other projects. Regardless, 1977 saw keyboardist Alan Gowen begin composing music for a follow-up; he was soon rejoined by guitarist Phil Lee. Drummer Trevor Tomkins and bassist Hugh Hopper completed the lineup, and work began on Another Fine Tune You've Got Me Into.
Floating between free-form jazz, fusion, and at-times psychedelia, what's immediately notable about the set is its complex and ever-shifting time signatures. In lesser hands, the changes would be disconcerting, but the musical riffs and swells of melodies provide a centering for the pieces, with the rhythms and music sliding and floating like drops of mercury.
An excellent set from a highly talented composer and a group of excellent musicians. It's just a shame that the rest of the world was into punk rock at the time!
Sleeve condition: Ex+ without writing, marking or defect.
Record condition: a few wispy, sleeve withdrawal marks but no scratches or significant marking. Plays absolutely fine. Ex condition.
A very nice, collectors’ condition copy of this rare and sought after album. I also currently have listed, the first Gilgamesh album on the Caroline label, in addition to many other Canterbury Scene originals.
