When Money broke up The Big Roll Band, he formed this suitably named psychedelic outfit who performed
frequently at London's Middle Earth and UFO clubs. They were certainly a talented outfit. Andy Summers,
of course, later played with The Police, and Colin Allen went on to play with John Mayall and Stone The Crows.
They recorded just one single for Columbia, The Madman Running Through The Fields.
Penned by Money and Andy Summers it was perhaps one of the finest pieces of psychedelia recorded
in the UK, this single is now very sought-after. The song was later covered by Eric Burdon and The Animals
(with a line-up including Zoot Money and Andy Summers) on their Love Is album and is also on
Transition (Direction 863231) 1968 by Zoot Money.Rumours of an unreleased Dantalion's Chariot album
were untrue, but in 1995 David Wells' Tenth Planet label pieced together an album of previously unreleased material
by the band, plus both sides of their 45. Soma, which appeared in two parts, one on each side of the album,
with Andy Summers (who co-wrote it with his tutor Narzir Jarazbhoy) on sitar, was a fine Eastern-sounding
remnant from 1967. Fourpenny Bus Ride and, to a lesser degree, Four Firemen were reasonable examples
of whimsical psychedelic pop, but of the previously unissued material the jarring World War Three
and jazz-tinged High Flying Bird (not the popular US West Coast standard, although it is an ode
to the beautiful people of San Francisco), both Money/Summers collaborations, are the high points.
This album is recommended...(Tapestry of Delights)
