GEOFF LEIGH & FRANK WUYTS "From here to drums" (UK/BEL,1988)


British saxophonist, multi-instrumentalist GEOFF LEIGH (performed with HENRY COW a.o.) and Belgian FRANK WUYTS (keyboardist of AKSAK MABOUL) recorded this stuff circa 1983. They had in mind some kind of electronic, funky, pop, world sound close, more or less, to the new wave directions of the era. Of course they couldn` t escape so easily from the avant prog / experimental / jazz / fusion experience of their past... so lots of weirdness sneaked into this hybrid thing. And probably this could be one reason "FROM HERE TO DRUMS" is object of (some) wishlists. The guaranteed name of NO MAN`S LAND which finally released the album in 1988, could be another one....

Many thanks - nice lp but a bit bland & dated - had expected lots more from it! Oh well … Best!
