I've loved this album for a while now, it's very very typical early 70s British style ssw, with the added string arrangements, etc. soft but quite nice.

English musician, editor & author. Michael Cox recorded under the alias Matthew Ellis after being approached by producer Jerry Dane and later recorded an album under another alias, Obie Clayton. Went on to work for Oxford University Press as an editor. His first novel The Meaning of Night went on to become an international best-seller. [For those curious, like me, it's a crime thriller set in Victorian England that came out in 2006.]
Consider the lovely track called Magpie:
I never found the follow up album, called Am I?
Does anyone have it?
Otherwise I will purchase and rip it for everyone, thanks.

Much gratitude, Julian. Looking forward to the second record you mention. I suppose he released his 3rd and final record under yet another alias...

... which naturally spawns intrigue, just the same.
very interesting
DeleteI hope someone has those other albums, save me the trouble or buying the vinyls although at least they're not expensive
Might these other (presumably artful) British characters be added to archive?
