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!

Inspirująca, niezwykła muzyka!
guess i was right. time has told me ,,,no one has challenged my last statement !.
weeeeellllll ./ im waiting ….
master peace album, great…every two months I back to this music…
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!
Very good music,thank for sharing!
THATS IT AND MORE NEXT

Fantastic, I'm happy to hear this sound. Thanx Andy and Mick. Best suit since a long time.
great to hear it again after so many years. Used to play this on my radio show in Chicago in the 1970's.
Still the best!
What a great LP. My older brother had it back in the early 1970's, we used to listen to it all the time. I finally got the CD a few years ago, musically it still holds up after all these years!
Made many trips with this in my younger years – greetings to all of those at THE FLAT in Mere Green Len & can't remember the others guys name – thanks for the time we spent together!

This is listenable instrumental album.
Got the original vinyl , still fresh after all these years
The music of my youth…..
Laying on the carpet smoking weed and the world was wide open…..
Did anyone know who are the other musicians?
I saw them in 1970, somewhere around harrow, not sure where now, and at the Phun City fest, got their first 2 albums after. Brilliant, call me an old fogie but what is there today to compare
Brilliant!
" Impromptu in E minor" is in the top 5 finest pieces of the 1960s – which is no small feat
Semplicemente BELLISSIMO ✊😘❤️❤️❤️
