Druid & tron? Schiozid

2003-05-28 by Robert Cervero

For "the does anyone know" category.� I've been listening to obscure "prog" bands from the early 70s as of late, including Druid.� Their keyboardist, Andrew McCrorie-Shand (who evidently went on to fortune and fame as the musical director of the Teletubbies), plays various synths on Toward the Sun.� I believe there are shades of M400 on tunes like "Voices", "Theme", and "Shangri-la", but am not sure.� I've got a OGWT (Whistle Tour) clip of them playing these first two songs, and while I can't make out the M400 for sure, there's a signature 3-strings sound.� Anyone know?

Sidebar question: any idea when the Schizoid Band will be touring the U.S. (they've been about everywhere -- Japan, Italy, UK, Poland, and even Russia -- but the states).

Rob, M400 #1095�
