The Lost Lands

Francis Lickerish is what anybody will call a renaissance man, after his successful experience as composer, guitar and lute player in the cult band The Enid, changes the stage for the university graduating as therapist pursuing a successful career as counselor, group therapist, workshop leader and trainer, working with a very broad client base that includes street drinkers, criminals, film stars and royalty. But the music always remains in him using it as part of his therapy, and in 2009 surprises the Prog commute when as a member of Secret Green releases the amazing "To Wake the King", clearly oriented towards Prog Folk. When everybody expected more albums from this band Francis Lickerish releases his first solo album called "Far And Forgot - From The Lost Lands"…

Jazz / Hard Bop / Bop / Flugelhorn

This CD, The Time and the Place, is not the album of the same name released on Columbia Records dated February 8, 1967, with pianist Cedar Walton. That recording was a studio date with live audience sounds overdubbed. This is the actual live concert date, remixed from the three-track reel-to-reel master at New York City's Museum of Modern Art's outdoor "Jazz in the Garden" series, featuring pianist Albert Dailey on August 18, 1966, and presented in its entirely. Farmer plays flugelhorn exclusively, one of the first to do so. This concert also links his time leaving the U.S. for Europe, returning briefly, then moving permanently to Vienna, Austria.

Borrowing a page from his old colleague Brian Eno's catalog, Manzanera delved into the ambient music scene with this release, and he did very well. This is an excellent album full of layered sounds and relaxing melodies. Manzanera teamed up with Paul Williams and Andy Grossart, formed a short-lived band by the name of Nowomowa, and recorded this one CD. It is interesting to note that all of the songs were recorded live off of the floor, with no overdubs. This is quite an achievement given the genre of music. But it does add an element of edge to the music. Compiled from the soundtrack from the film of the same name, Manzanera was able to put together a more complete picture of this music when he reissued it on CD in 1999, and he shifted the artist credit to himself, as opposed to releasing it as the band name. Commercially speaking, this was a wise move. Manzanera fans will enjoy this, as well as fans of ambient music.
