Clark Hutchinson - 1969-'71
Andy Clarke (vocals, keyboards, percussion, saxophone, flute, rhythm guitar), and Clark Hutchinson (Lead guitar, piano, percussion, bass), first worked together in Vamp ,a short lived English quartet founded by ex= Pretty Things drummer Viv Prince in the late 60's. the group split up after completing one single, but Andy and Clark remained together to record the remarkable A=MH2. The impromptu set proved immensely popular especially for the latter's impressive guitar work. A former member of Sam Gopal's Dream. Hutchinson brought that groups neo-eastern influence to that new venture. Highlighted superbly by the 13 minute 'Improvisation on an Indian scale'. The album's success inspires=d a permanent groups lineup including;Stephan Amazing (bass), & Dale Covenry (drums). Subsequent releases failed to capture that innovation of their debut release and so the band split up after their third album
