4 stars Psychedelic Folk rock band. They were also called Principle Edwards Magic Theatre. The earlier albums are under the full name ? Principle Edwards Magic Theatre: "Soundtrack" from 1969 and "The Asmoto Running band" from 1971.There is a compilation that has both albums together. The second album is more progressive and powerful than the first one. The first 2 songs McAlpine's Dream and McAlpine Versus The Asmoto are very powerful. The third album is "Round on" from 1974. The line up in "Round One" is: Belinda Bourquin: violin, vocals, keyboards, recorders. David Jones: percussion, Richard Jones: lead vocals, bass, Geoff Nicholls: drums and Nick Pallett: guitar, vocals. In the previous albums they were more musicians. The album has 8 pieces: "Average Chap", a very powerful beginning for the album, "Halibut Rock", "Milk and honeyland", "Whizzmore Kid", "Juggernaut" ,The lovely- "Dear Mrs. O' Reilly"," Triplets" and the most progressive song the 10 minutes long "Rise of the glass ? white gangster". The new album format is Japanese digipack format, and it's very high quality. Nick Mason, Pink Floyd's drummer, produced this album. The music is similar to bands like: Comus, Fairport convention, Spirogyra. It's very powerful, yet very melodic. The lead singer has a lot of help from the female singer, and it's always lovely.
