GEORGE FENTON / DAVID LAWSON - Company of Wolves (Original Soundtrack Recording) (1984 / Palace)
A pesar de que esta banda sonora viene firmada por el compositor y director de orquesta, George Fenton, pocos saben que todos los sintetizadores fueron a cargo de David Lawson. Teclista supremo muy olvidado, que además me tiene loco últimamente, por la adquisición reciente de un bootleg de Samurai. La banda posterior a The Web, donde también militaba. Y que eran algo muy cercano al prog canterbuyano. Lawson se formó en la Royal Air Force School of Music. Y luego con el pianista de jazz, Stan Tracey. Como músico de sesión, colabora con Roy Harper, Sally Oldfield, David Bedford o Stackridge, entre muchos. Se une a los legendarios Greenslade en los mediados 70. Pero toda la fama recae en el poseedor del apellido. Una injusticia. Rechazó una oferta para entrar en la Ian Gillan Band.

Blackwater Park is an obscure band that emerged from the Berlin underground scene. They released their unique album "Dirt Box" in 1971, published on BASF in 1972. The group delivers a captivating, effective bluesy-heavy rock "trip" with lot of incisive guitar riffs, progressive Hammond Organ's arrangements, melodic heavy vocals and psychedelic effects that are part of the mix. His British singer had a strong voice. Especially the third and heavy track "Indian Summer", which clearly shows us the quality, engaging and virtuosity among its members. Remember that the last song is beautiful version of "For No One", composed by Lennon and McCartney,with the album 'Revolver' issued in 1966.
