Tom Newman - Faerie Symphony.nfo
GENERAL INFORMATION
=====================
Album: Faerie Symphony
Artist: Tom Newman
Year: 1977 / 1989
Genre: New Age / Electronic / Abstract / Experimental / Ambient
DESCRIPTION
==================
It all started rather modestly for the Virgin record label. Few, except perhaps Sir Richard Branson himself, could have foreseen just how huge the Virgin group would become. Even less would have been able to predict airlines, trains, holidays, and numerous other ventures all carrying the same name.
When Branson set up his Virgin Record shop and mail order business he set in motion a chain of events that would change many peoples lives. Tom Newman had been a member of the Ealing based R & B band The Tomcats alongside future Jade Warrior leader Jon Field. The band eventually morphed into a psychedelic outfit called July. Their self titled debut released in 1968 is a much sought after record (now available via Cherry Red).
When Tom Newman met Richard Branson it was clear that one possessed business genius and the other had the necessary musical knowledge. Newman went about setting up the Manor Studios in the picturesque village of Shipton-On-Cherwell in Oxfordshire.
In 1975 with the studio at his disposal Tom recorded his first solo album Fine Old Tom, which featured Oldfield and Jon Field. A second quickly followed which despite its title, Live At The Argonaut, was in fact a studio recording. Unfortunately, a dispute between Branson and Newman saw the album shelved. It was destined not to see light of day for nearly thirty years.
The Faerie Symphony was an ambitious concept and was both rich with imagination and blessed with exceptional musical ability. It just happened to be the wrong time.
It has now been re-released with informative background cover notes from Esoteric Recordings founder Mark Powell. Played today you can hear how the techniques used on Tubular Bells radiate from the work. However the comparison alone fails to do the album justice and instead we need to recognise its individual character, and style.
