    This beautifully packaged collection  marks a milestone in  the career
    of one of the  UK's most durable melodic  rock bands. The famous  twin
    leads of Wishbone Ash are here contrasted with driving dance beats and
    techno  riffs to  produce a  hybrid sound  like no  other. Is  this  a
    'proper' Wishbone  album? I  would argue  yes -  if you're prepared to
    listen without prejudice.  It is truly  affecting to hear  some of the
    group's most  haunting and  popular hooks  contextualised in  a sea of
    electronic wizardry.

    The  two  cds -  Trance  Visionary &  Psychic  Terrorism -  have  been
    repackaged together with a bonus disc of extras and are given a  boxed
    set treatment together with an accompanying booklet which includes  an
    interview  with  the  band's   legendary  leader,  Andy  Powell.   The
    collection proves that this band  - even after 30 years  of  existence
    - continues to evolve and to take risks. 

    During the early- and mid-'70s, Wishbone Ash were among England's most
    popular hard rock acts. The group's roots dated to the summer of 1966,
    when  drummer Steve  Upton formed  a band  called Empty  Vessels  with
    bassist/vocalist  Martin  Turner  and  guitarist  Glen  Turner.  Empty
    Vessels soon  changed their  name to  Tanglewood and  moved to London;
    during a  gig at  the Country  Club in  Hampstead, they  were seen  by
    would-be rock manager Miles Copeland, who was impressed with the  jazz
    and progressive  rock influences  within the  band and  offered to  be
    their manager.

    Glen Turner left the  band at that point,  and an advertisement for  a
    guitarist resulted in the addition of both David Alan "Ted" Turner and
    Andy Powell, who provided  the basis for the  sound of the new  lineup
    with intertwining riffs  and phrases drawn  from both soul  and blues,
    coupled  with  Martin Turner's  melodic  bass sound  and  Upton's jazz
    -influenced drumming.  A new  name was  called for,  and after several
    suggestions by Copeland that  proved unacceptable, "Wishbone Ash"  was
    chosen  from two  lists of  words. The  group rehearsed  for weeks  at
    Copeland's home, working  out an entirely  new repertoire, and  played
    their first gig opening for the Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation. It  wasn't
    too long before they were opening for Deep Purple, where a sound check
    jam between Powell and Ritchie  Blackmore led to a recording  contract
    with the American Decca label.

    Their self-titled first album  appeared in 1970; Pilgrimage  and Argus
    followed over the next two years,  and each showed a major advance  in
    the band's  sound. The  release of  1973's Wishbone  Four reflected  a
    greater maturity  to the  group, and  was their  first fully developed
    album, with songwriting that didn't hide behind a progressive pose but
    luxuriated   in  the   members'  folk   music  inclinations,   without
    compromising the harder  edge of their  music. The album  also saw the
    departure of Ted Turner, who was replaced by Laurie Wisefield.

    Locked  In  and New  England  followed; Martin  Turner  departed after
    1979's Just Testing, to be replaced by ex-King Crimson  bassist/singer
    John Wetton. Wishbone Ash soldiered on through the 1980s, and in  1986
    even got back with  Copeland, by now a  major player in the  recording
    industry by virtue of his management of the Police and his founding of
    I.R.S.  Records.  Wishbone Ash's  history  came full  circle  with the
    reunion  of Powell,  Upton, Ted  Turner, and  Martin Turner,  and  the
    recording of  three albums  for I.R.S..  They remained  a working band
    into the  1990s, led  by Andy  Powell and  Ted Turner  and touring and
    recording regularly.
