Electric Chamber Orchestra (1988) and Ayers Rock from Australia








I was led to seek out this album, a one-off by this band with the perfect for this blog artist name. on the strength of the composition Angel in Disguise by reed player, composer and arranger Col Loughlan, which appeared on the masterpiece second Ayers Rock album (i.e. 1976's Beyond), hopefully, everyone reading this is totally familiar with them.

As is usual with these records, the heart-breaking back blurb advertises the wonderful new world of melded, progressive music combining the best of European classical, American jazz, and rock-- what a rude surprise the future sometimes turns out to be, especially for those dinosaurs like T. Rex when they were bonked on the head by an asteroid 66 millions years ago:

Nowadays the once-rigid boundaries between the musical styles of classical, jazz, and rock have become as fused as the music itself, the different disciplines now appeal well beyond their traditional territories, leaving the way open for the Electric C. O. to offer something new, appealing and different to music lovers of all tastes. Please enjoy this collection of morning impressions.

Unfortunately, the music is more fused together light fuzak and even lighter Vivaldi.  As unappealing as that sounds, there are some nice moments here and there.  The oddly titled track called Bul-bul actually proved to have some inventive chord changes but wound up too short:
