automatic man

Formed by Michael Shrieve, drummer and one of the founder members of Santana, he also recruited Guitarist Pat Thrall for the band [who went on to play with Glenn Hughes, Pat Travers and Deep Purple]. Never before released on CD, this original Island album is a real connection between Traffic, Stomu Yamashata, Santana, tones of all 3 in places but also a very original album - Steve Winwood is apparently uncredited on this album for his backing vocals and keys. This is a really interesting quality release with digitally remastered original artwork, biog and sleevenotes. "Given this quartet's formidable musical pedigree you'd be forgiven for expecting an onslaught of ferociously indulgent fusion. Not a bit of it."
