Robert Calvert
Lucky Leif and the Longships (1975)
On the CD release of this LP the spoken word 'Making of Midgard' was subjected
to a despicable 're-mix' which consists of multiple layered echo effects on Bob's voice.
I don't know who sanctioned this but it ruined the track for me
and it has zero merit even as an 'alternative mix'.
This is my slightly tweaked reworking of the album
with the original version of 'Midgard' (ripped from vinyl)
It was produced by Brian Eno and has a very similar sound to Eno's first two solo efforts.
Alongside 1974's 'Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters'
this endures as one of Robert Calvert's finest records.
