Avalon Records is proud to present an æunexpectedÆ new album by Galahad
off shoot project the æGalahad Electric CompanyÆ.
During these strange times in which we have found ourselves over the
last few months it appears that Dean Baker and Stu Nicholson have tapped
in to a rich vein of creativity resulting in the creation of a
substantial collection of new music and songs.
Therefore, the time seemed right to re-activate the ÆGalahad Electric
CompanyÆ for the first time in over 20 years resulting in a new album
æWhen the Battle is OverÆ.
Much of the material is in a more æelectronicÆ vein as you would expect
from Dean who, after all, is the Galahad keyboard player, but there are
also a few musical surprises in order to mix things up a bit.
Also, due to more constraints than normal as far as the recording
process was concerned a certain amount of experimentation was involved
with some of the songs, a few of which were ad-libbed and written in an
almost æstream of consciousnessÆ manner!
Stu remarked ôThis is the first album we have ever recorded whereby
neither of us have actually been in the same room at the same time at
any point! The actual main writing and recording process only took about
five weeks in May and June which is very quick for us! In fact, it was a
very easy, fun and quick album to write and record which should, in
theory, always be the case but quite often isnÆt. ô
The end result is an eclectic mixture of music and songs, examples of
which are an adaptation of a poem by the famous 19th Century Dorset
dialect poet and friend of Thomas Hardy, William Barnes (My OrchaÆd in
Linden Lea) and even StuÆs cat Sammy Gorgeous contributes æmeowsÆ to
æMysterioso.
There are also nods to dance, trip hop, folk, krautrock and even opera
and gospel influences, all scattered throughout.

Back in the Nineties there were a couple of Galahad side projects, with
the Galahad Acoustic Quintet staying fairly close to the original band
except moving in a more folky direction and even including some
reimagined Galahad numbers. However, the Galahad Electric Company album,
'De-Constructing Ghosts', saw members of the band plus various remixers
making a new album using 'Following Ghosts' as a starting point.
Although the Acoustic Quintet has yet to make a reappearance, 2020 saw a
new album from Galahad Electric Company. However, instead of giving
tracks out for people to play with, what we have this time is an album
from singer Stu Nicholson and keyboard player Dean Baker, comprising
real songs in a mix of electronica and progressive rock.
In many ways this album has been a very long time coming, in that Dean
and Stu have performed as a duo in the past and have a strong friendship
and working relationship. When Dean joined the band, he was the third
keyboard player in as many albums, yet he has now been there for more
than 20 years and has been a huge part in the move away from the
neo-prog tag they were given in their early career. Given that this has
mostly involved the band becoming much heavier in many areas, it is
somewhat strange to hear this release, which is moving in areas far away
from riffing guitars. There are times when it seems quite strange to
hear Stu's vocals over the top of electronic keyboards, and then there
are others when one can imagine the full band taking on the song and
crafting it into something quite different, such as "The Inquisition
(intermezzo)" which starts off quite experimental before moving into
quite a different area.
I must confess that the first time I played this album it just did not
feel right to me, as although Stu is singing as well as ever, I was not
used to his vocals being over the top of a style of music I rarely
listen to. I mean, "Letting Go" feels like a single from the Eighties
from the likes of Yazoo, not quite in the same musical area as the
42-minute-long "Seas of Change". But the more I kept playing it, the
more I got inside it and enjoyed it for what it was. This is not a
Galahad album, yet there are similarities here and there, and hopefully
there will be plenty of people intrigued to hear what this is like. Stu
has told me there is another album coming soon, and I for one am looking
forward to that one as well.
