Tapestry of Delights:
This is a crossover band which transcends the psychedelic and progressive era. The band was formed by John (Du) Cann, who'd earlier been in The Attack. Originals of the album are not easily come by but you'll notice it has been re-issued. The album's finest moments are Day Of The Change, which features some fine discordant guitar work and great vocals, and Return To Sanity, which opens with a guitar-driven instrumental passage similar to Mars from Holst's Planets suite and contains some fine guitar work throughout. By contrast there are a couple of more mellow, laid back numbers of note - And Now The Sun Shines and The Reason - but most of the remaining tracks are expendable.
After they disbanded at the end of 1969 Cann went on to form Atomic Rooster playing on their Tomorrow Night and Devil's Answer 45. He later formed Hard Stuff. Hawksworth formed Fuzzy Duck and was later in Ten Years Later with Alvin Lee. John Cann used his original name John Du Cann for a minor hit, Don't Be A Dummy in 1979 and later was involved in reforming Atomic Rooster with organist Vincent Crane.
