Marscape is no escape
author: Paul
This is such a great music. I once had the album (>15 years ago) and (then) I liked the music at once. I kept playing the record over and over again. I specially liked the atmospheric (ambient) sounds (watergongs!) which now and then were joyfully disturbed by fierce drumpatterns and jazzrock like themes. Optimistic music. After all these years I found a cd-version on the www. I bought it/played it and discovered the music was not lost in time nor space. It could have been made yesterday. But then on the other hand our lineair time experience doesn't actually exist. Marscape is no escape.

Excellent Find. A wonderful journey through space and time.

I had this on tape when I attended Stanford and found it an inspirational aid to my studies. Great music, some of it arranged and well composed with other sections loose and free blown. both hot and very cool. Phil Collins plays with abandon and with Lancaster's sax and wind synth playing the music comes to life in a wonderful way. I always considered Percy Jones the most innovative and best bass player in the world. Why isn't he a superstar? It tells a story.Thanks for the music.

So great...

Friend of mine introduced me to this album 30 years ago. It has been in and out of my mind and heart since then, although I had no access to it for years. Saw it here, ordered it, and sank right into the dreamy ecstasy it enveloped me with back then. This is A1+ musical art.

Thank you, Jack Lancaster! This CD thrills me to no end. I thought I already owned all of the vital material by Brand X, but I was wrong! Kudos to you for making this little treasure available!
