A= MH2 – Clark Hutchinson (1969) Full Album.



alejandro peña pineda

A fantasist and amazing musical essay for brilliant electric guitar solos, raga-psych and bluesy rock. Without any doubt the best release from Mick Hutchinson / Andy Clark collaboration. “A=mh2” is covered by gorgeous improvised guitar parts in a rather technical style. Hutchinson’s guitar inspiration is accompanied by acoustic percussions, sometimes punctuated by piano / flute arrangements. “Improvisation on an Indian Scale” culminates the album: an extended 13 minutes improvisation for an intense fuzzy-folky-raga incantation. The guitar solo section is sustained by a solid rhythmical guitar / percussion accompaniement. The leading theme is played by furious, trance-like and cyclical” electric guitar solos: an almost “esoteric” sounding jam. “Acapulco Gold” is an electro-acoustic dominated guitar composition with a nice, catchy sense of “introspection” and some furious “flamenco” like accents. The jazzy and groovy “Improvisation on a Modal Scale” is the least interesting moment despite really nice guitar sections. “Impromptu in ‘E’ Minor” is a gentle folky improvisation around the piano and some obsessive guitar sequences. “Textures in 3/4” features an almost “Celtic”, folkish guitar improvisation with a definitely cool electric melody. A rarity and really impressive, inspired late 60’s project, historically speaking this is a must have!

  1. just jamming ,bitta riffing  scale progressions ,,sounds like practise anyway ,i did better as a kid ,once y no the rudiments ,this is the sound you get when y fuk about ,really .wise up . you confuse skill for planking about !.

  2. First time I saw Mick Hutchinson was when he played with Sam Gopal Dream at Christmas On Earth (Cont. back in '67). Sam was in his Indian finery, up on a drum riser surrounded by hand drums etc. Mick stood stage right in filthy tennis shoes, dirty levi's and an LCC Donkey Jacket! He whipped up a storm! It was a good night for guitar players…a night of 'firsts' for me. First time I saw Steve Howe (Tomorrow), Winwood (Traffic) Roy Wood (Move) and Hendrix. Thinking back I don't know how I got out of there alive! They don't write nights out like that anymore!  

  3. TJezzus, I use to have this record when I was about seventeen years old. Brought it to everyone to listen to it. Sooooo stoned!! Like stuped back then. I dont kno what happend to the disc.
