THIRD EAR BAND
GLEN SWEENEY, PAUL MINNS
plus PAUL BUCKMASTER, SIMON HOUSE, DENIM BRIDGES
Although they were loosely affiliated with the British progressive rock scene of the late '60s and early '70s,
Third Ear Band was in some ways more of an experimental ensemble performing
contemporary compositional work. For one thing, they didn't use electric instruments,
or even guitars, instead employing violin, viola, oboe, cello, and hand percussion.
More important, they didn't play conventional rock "songs."
They featured extended instrumental pieces that often built up from a drone, or hypnotic pattern,
to a dense, raga-like crescendo, somewhat in the manner of some of Terry Riley's work.
Their "progressive rock" tag probably arose because they recorded for Harvest Records,
Britain's leading art rock label, which was home to Pink Floyd, Kevin Ayers,
Pete Brown, Edgar Broughton, and many other progressive acts

grading
RECORD NEAR EX but (please, read above description)
SLEEVE VG+ but (please, see pictures and read above description)
Their score for Roman Polanski's Macbeth film required the group to work
in a somewhat more constricted format. So instead of lengthy hypnotic drones,
this album's split into 16 separate pieces, some of them quite short.
It's consequently not as reflective of their highest ambitions as the Third Ear Band album,
and loses a bit when placed out of context from the Shakespeare classic.
It still works reasonably effectively on its own, conjuring appopriately ominous Elizabethean moods,
with the surprise addition of (uncredited) female vocals on one track...(AllMusic)
