Alternative Fox<\/strong> presents a reissue of Pete Brown & Piblokto!<\/strong>‘s \u201cThousands On A Raft<\/strong>\u201d, originally released in 1970.<\/p>\n

London-based poet Pete Brown<\/strong> made a name for himself after joining Mike Horovitz<\/strong>‘s New Departures<\/strong> art group in the early 1960s, leading to a residency at The Marquee and a 1965 appearance at the Royal Albert Hall. Brown began co-writing lyrics for Cream<\/strong> the following year after a request from drummer Ginger Baker<\/strong>, yielding tremendous hits such as “Sunshine of Your Love”, “White Room”, and “I Feel Free”. Following encouragement from keyboardist Graham Bond<\/strong> (in whose band Baker had been before Cream), Brown began fielding demo recordings, leading to a contact with EMI’s progressive imprint, Harvest, fronting the band Pete Brown And His Battered Ornaments<\/strong> \u200ewith guitarist Chris Spedding<\/strong>. When internal tensions saw Brown ejected by the group, he formed Piblokto<\/strong>! with Scottish guitarist Jim Mullen<\/strong>, future Vinegar Joe<\/strong> and Gong<\/strong> drummer, Rob Tait<\/strong>, bassist Steve Glover<\/strong>, and keyboardist\/saxophonist Dave Thompson<\/strong>, who would also later join Vinegar Joe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThousands On A Raft<\/strong>\u201d, the group’s debut album for Harvest, clocks in at the hard-rock and experimental jazz edge of prog, as heard on the extended instrumental interludes of “Highland Song” and “If They Could Only See Me Now”; in contrast, Brown’s poetic sensibilities drive esoteric numbers such as “Got A Letter From A Computer” and the closing title track.<\/p>\n
