Chemical Alice?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

 Back in the very early 80's I was given this 12'' ep by (another) friend on the margins of the music business; its possible I also saw them at Stonehenge festival but.. Anyway, played it once, thought it sounded good apart from the biscuit tin production, but didn't think more about it. A couple of years back I heard there was a Marillion connection- the Drummer turned into Marillion's keyboard player?? Are there any reviews of this ep here, does anyone have anymore information, thoughts or views? I heard it has fetched moderately good prices but i'm inclined to hang on to my copy for now!

Goodnight Vienna 2. The Judge 3. Henry The King 4. Lands Of Home *Limited to 1000 copies The guy I knew came fro Essex and was connected in some way with the band but cant remember how. Its funny, they just look like young guys in leather jackets with long hair and old jumpers.. just how most of us looked then! It reminded me that there was quite a close connection between the NWOBHM fans and the emerging NWOBprog at the time..
