This UK band was formed in 1968 at Essex University, England. The artistic hippie co-operative revolved around Belinda ‘Bindy’ Borquin (vocals/recorder/violin/piano), Root Cartwright (guitar/mandolin/recorder) and David Jones (percussion) who were initially joined by Jeremy Ensor (bass) and vocalists Martin Stellman, Monica Nettles and Vivienne McAuliffe. Numerous dancers, technicians and stage hands took the line-up number into double figures and, having recorded Soundtrack for John Peel’s Dandelion Records label, the group abandoned university to establish a commune. Second album The Asmoto Running Band, produced by Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, preceded an ambitious season at London’s Hampstead Theatre Club. The residency exacerbated an internal dispute over ultimate direction, and the unit disintegrated in December 1971. Bourquin, Cartright and Jones reshaped the band around Nick Pallett (guitar/vocals), Richard Chipperfield-Jones (bass/vocals) and Geoff Nicholls (drums) and, having dropped the ‘Magic Theatre’ suffix, completed the rock orientated Round One, again under the aegis of Mason.Tracklist:
Principal Edwards Magic Theatre's first album (not an actual soundtrack; "Soundtrack" was just the title) was a fitfully inspired but exasperating of-its-time affair. The sprawling troupe, with more than ten musicians contributing to the record, was at its best when doing a form of British folk-rock with a wistful quasi-medieval air. That's best heard on the epic 13-minute "The Death of Don Quixote," and also on "Sacrifice," and "Enigmatic Insomniac Machine." To drag in an obscure reference, at times they sound like a far more folk-oriented counterpart to the early-'70s British art rock band Julian's Treatment, another band with a haunting, female lead singer who made much of dramatic tunes with a faintly theatrical, fantastical, storytelling spin. However, the multi-sectioned, winding tunes require patience to sit through, and the mood is sometimes shot by the band's periodic shifts into lumpy blues-rock. Had the group been centered around Vivienne McAuliffe's strong quasi-Renaissance balladry vocals (and occasional Shakespearean narration) and their folkier material, they'd be a worthy footnote in British folk-rock. But both their songwriting and approach were too inconsistent for that, and when McAuliffe steps aside in favor of male vocals, the singing's far less memorable.
