York - Schmid - MacDowell - Once Upon A Time (1983)

In February 1983 the producer Klaus Heiligenstühler collected Pete York, Wolfgang Schmid and Lenny MacDowell together to record a sizzling direct-cut LP with the most advanced recording techniques for his label Jeton. 

Together they created a real unique sound. It´s a form of jazz-rock and if you can´t imagine, how a group with flute-bass-drums sounds, you should listen to this album.

It´s a magic sound, not only because they use echo-equipment, harmonizers and equalizers, but they played together with a deep understanding for the musical idea´s of each other. It´s a real highlight of sophisticated music in the Eighties !

The last three numbers were alternate versions recorded  in 1984 (see booklet).
