Bradshaw. Don - Distance Between Us (1972)

 

The one and only album from this artist from USA.

Don Bradshaw-Leather does the percussions, organ, piano, mellotron and vocals himself.

Don is a classic trained pianist. For some reasons, he approached CBS Records with an idea to record an album and they financed it. The result is this album and probably something very different than CBS Records thought they would get. They did not release this album.

This album is a double LP too, clocking in at ninety minutes. 

It is also a semi-classic album in the progressive rock and krautrock scene.

The music is a mix of improvised krautrock and movie soundtrack. It is like Ya Ho Wha 13 meets up with Goblin.

The leading instrumens is mellotron and the percussions. The other instruments just supports those two instruments.

I am pretty certain this album was recorded in one take. The whole album, the four movements, feels like it has been improvised. 

The result is a weird piece of music as there is not much, if any difference, between these four movements. Tha final movement has substandard sound. Maybe the money ran out.... 

This is semi classic album and a decent one. It is also a very eclectic, weird album. Beware.
