Going back to keyboardist Peter, note he was in Ablution the great one-off Swedish band, the well known Brand X with the incomparable Bill Bruford, Sun Treader with their fusion instrumental Zin-Zin, famed progsters Quatermass, the magnificently creative and progressive Chitinous Ensemble (which I thought I featured here before, but turns out I didn't).
Anyways this is not his best work, it's meandering and experimental, improvised stuff. For ex., Event #7 subtitled Country Knees:
Finally, note the bio for Peter R.:
Composer - arranger - keyboardist. Not to be confused with Pete Robinson (2)!
Born on 16 September 1945, Buckinghamshire, U.K. He studied piano and composition at the Royal Academy of Music and enjoyed a successful career as a session keyboardist throughout the 1970s, working with artists such as Quatermass (3), Brand X (3), Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, Shawn Phillips (2), Stanley Clarke, Carly Simon, Bryan Ferry, Stealers Wheel, Andrew Lloyd Webber and others. He made his film music debut as a solo composer in 1985, scoring a number of successful films including Cocktail, Blind Fury, Cadillac Man, Encino Man, Wayne's World, Wes Craven's New Nightmare, Highlander III: The Sorcerer, Vampire in Brooklyn, Rumble in the Bronx, and The World’s Fastest Indian. Also contributed music to a number of acclaimed TV series, including The Wonder Years, Tales from the Crypt, Eerie Indiana, Charmed and The Handler. As a successful pop arranger, he has collaborated with Eric Clapton, Manhattan Transfer, Al Jarreau and Melissa Etheridge.

Thanks Julian for the reference of Pete Robinson, I've found Medusa with John Lee & Gerry Brown, Eef Albers and Daryl Thompson, also D.Sancious and some beautiful vocals by Cheryl Thompson at discogs. There's a duel between the guitar and the ARP Odissey of Pete Robinson at the end. Do you have it?
ReplyDeleteAlso Leano Morelli – Roma - Londra - Milano, with Mel Collins, MoFoster, Tony Cicco, Ray Russel to name just a few.
I suggest a post about the cantautori Umberto Balsamo, that Pete Robinson was involved with Balla and Pianetti albums.
Hey Julian, any chance of posting the Chitinous Ensemble? YOu got me curious. Thanks, Rick K
