Jack Lancaster and Rick van der Linden - Wild Connections

Here is a little gem of an album, especially for those who like synthesised sounds. A collaborative venture between Jack Lancaster on lyricon and Rick van der Linden on the mighty Yamaha GX-1 synthesiser. I know Lancaster through his collaborative work with Robin Lumley on the pre-Brand X project Marscape. The late van der Linden was the excellent keyboard player with Ekseption and Trace. On this album he plays the over-the-top GX-1 synth, made famous by Keith Emerson on the Works album. Here, Lancaster and van der Linden go mad on some classical, fusion pieces showcasing their respective synthesised instruments. Another nice reissue from Gonzo who seem to be re-releasing a lot of Brand X related material at the moment.
