Citation : Montage - Montage CD

Following his departure from the Left Banke, Michael Brown—the group's chief artistic force, as principal songwriter, arranger, and keyboardist — masterminded the Montage LP. Released in January 1969, Montage features more of the graceful baroque-tinged melodies, choral-density vocal harmonies, and creative orchestrations that are hallmarks of Brown's work with the Left Banke. This first-time CD release, direct from the original master tapes, features four previously unissued bonus tracks and liner notes by Richie Unterberger (Unknown Legends of Rock ‘n’ Roll).

For many years, this has remained one of the most enigmatic and collectable artifacts from the original Golden Age of British pop-psych... beloved by serious collectors, Austin Powers lookalikes and oddly enough, the dance music DJ community alike, the price of this mysterious band's one and only album, already at £200 by the mid-1990's, continues to soar.... but why? Who on earth were they?

A classic Britpsych cover conceals a masterpiece which *might* be serious or might be a send up. High Wycombe's most famous period export (along with Zandra Rhodes) continues to both puzzle and amaze. Four art school boys who recorded an album's worth of amazing, dayglow music in an independent studio and ended up selling it to Parlophone Records and rubbing shoulders with The Beatles who, along with The Who and The Moody Blues, namechecked our heroes regularly. It sounds like time you heard what everyone is so worked up about!
