Rls Notes
This short-lived psychedelic pop outfit was formed in the UK at the
end of the 60s. Featuring Gillies Buchan (guitar/vocals), Edward Jones
(bass/vocals), David McNiven (clarinet) and John Romsey (drums), the
group was originally known as Skin but did not record as such. Human
Beast signed to Decca Records in 1970 and made their debut with Volume
One (Instinct). Though it sold poorly at the time, it has subsequently
become the subject of collectorÆs interest. Typical of its contents
were songs with expansive titles such as æBrush With The Midnight
ButterflyÆ, æReality Presented As An AlternativeÆ and æAppearance Is
Everything Style Is A Way Of LivingÆ. Fittingly, each featured
similarly ponderous lyrics. In common with other progressive bands of
the period, there was also a degree of experimentation with Eastern
melodies and rhythms, resulting in the best track, æMaybe SomedayÆ.
However, the group never recorded again and disappeared from the music
business thereafter.
