strange pleasure

Galliard were formed in Birmingham, in the summer of 1968. They were in essence a much-augmented later manifestation of Craig. Galliard set out as an extremely eclectic band on Strange Pleasure. They juxtapose a woodwind/horn section slyly with rural compositions, creating a pastoral, even medieval atmosphere, starkly contrasting to nervously urban passages, although they borrow from Art Nova's Wrapped Her In Ribbons and give the credits to Geoff Brown. An interesting effort.
