KEN MOORE - Rock musician, avant-gardist, synthesist

 

I convinced Wayne that I could get just as good a recording at my place as we were getting from local studios with sound men who just didn’t know how to record us (keyboards being more dominant than guitar at some times). So he came over and we recorded a song of Wayne’s called What Next, where I played the organ and Moog with the guitar, and then added drums later. He liked the result, and soon afterwards quit the band and we began working on...’

   REACHING BEYOND THE SPHERE is indeed a brilliant album, scarcely have I heard rock powered with such emotion and energy without the need for being avant-garde or weird. Myers is indeed an exceptionally talented guitarist too, I thought such impeccable guitaring had been lost back in the 70's, but not so. Totally instrumental, this is what bands like Camel in their early days could only hint at, being tied down by record contracts undoubtedly does restrict creativity. The closest comparisons that come to mind here are Shylock’s LP GIALOGUES and occasionally Sensations Fix’s PORTABLE MADNESS, full throttle with guitars and synths doing overtime, Ken has certainly become an adept drummer too. In fact this music is so good, that actual words to describe it fail me.
