Fusion Orchestra   Personnel: DAVE BELL drums DAVE COWELL bass guitar, harmonica COLIN DAWSON lead guitar STEN LAND second guitar, harmonica, synthesizer JILL SAWARD vocal, acousic guitar, piano, Hammond organ, synthesizer, harmonium, flute, percussion ALBUM: 1(A) A SKELETON IN ARMOUR (EMI EMA 758) 1973 R2 NB: (1) reissued in Korea by Si-Wan.   45: 1 When My Mama's Not At Home/Nuthouse Rock (EMI EMI 2056) 1973  A short-lived progressive/hard-rock outfit. The album is now quite sought-after. Except When My Momma's Not At Home, which is essentially a mainstream rock 'n' rollin' piece with a brass arrangement, the remaining tracks, Sonata In Z, Have I Left The Gas On?, A Skeleton In Armour and Talk To The Man In The Sky are superb, especially the first two. Sophisticated compositions with astonishing and strong female vocals, superb manic guitar leads, powerful drumming, electric piano, flute and harmonica solos make this recommended listening.
