Michael Chapman – Pachyderm

Description

Pachyderm is an LP length minimalist masterpiece, a single chord ambient work quite unlike anything Chapman has done before and equally as surprising and different as Peacock managed to be. The second track is remix of the first side by one Rob Antony, a young Cumbrian neighbour of Michael s. Together they form a mellow and gentling shifting work that easily beckons auto repeated plays. Chapman is now 71 years old, and playing better than ever, he started out on EMI s legendary 60 s Harvest record label, turned down playing in both Elton John then David Bowie s Spiders band, he only goes to show as per the recent rediscovery of the talents of his other contemporaries Roy Harper or John Martyn eventually your time will come.
