Stanshall had spent his time in the 1980's working on his 'English Comic Opera in the Grand Tradition' Stinkfoot, which first ran at the Old Profanity Showboat in Bristol Harbour in 1985, with a later revival in London. He had also found success writing material with his friend Steve Winwood, co-writing the title track to 'Arc Of A Diver', working on Mike Oldfield's 'Tubular Bells 2' (he had been an integral part to the original 'Tubular Bells' as the narrator) \u0026amp; various advertising campaigns including 'Lemsip', 'Cadburys' \u0026amp; most famously 'Ruddles Beer'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eFor a considerable period, Vivian had wanted to record \u0026amp; release another rock album \u0026amp; had been collecting songs as far back as the 1970's. With money he earned from his advertising work, he funded various recording sessions \u0026amp; had interest from a major record label, but sadly he tragically died in a fire before an album could be completed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe twelve tracks on this album are taken from a selection of sixty or so finished or nearly completed recordings on the tapes left by Vivian Stanshall, as his hitherto unpublished legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eAndy Frizell (The Wizards of Twiddly, The Coral \u0026amp; Kevin Ayers) is a musician \u0026amp; producer who worked with Vivian briefly in 1994. Using the surviving recordings, he has pieced back together Vivian's final album adding where required, the missing instrumentation but, at all times, paying reverence to the original vision. The collection includes the Beefheartian monster mash blues of 'Dog Howl In Tune' - also the title track - as well as the wistfully melancholic 'No Time Like The Future' on an album that wears its heart fully on its sleeve. It is by far the most biographical album Vivian ever made \u0026amp; draws on songs from 'Stinkfoot' \u0026amp; other projects. 'Goodbye Mother' is the poignant last song from the project 'Shackleton', based around the exploits of the Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton, which never saw the light of day whilst 'Boy In Darkness' was written by Vivian for a project with Steve Winwood - Winwood's version yet to be released.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eMusicians include Jack Bruce (Cream), Ollie Halsall (Pato), Susie Honeyman (The Mekons), Neil Innes \u0026amp; Rodney Slater (The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band), Mike Kellie (Spooky Tooth) \u0026amp; others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e'Dog Howl In Tune' is available on Madfish on CD \u0026amp; LP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eAirplay on BBC Radio Scotland   \/\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eFeature confirmed in MOJO    \/\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eFeature confirmed in The Guardian    \/\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eReview confirmed in The Wire    \/\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eReview confirmed in Record Collector    \/\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eReview confirmed in Uncut  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003ePrint Ads in    -  Prog issue 141 \\u2013 on sale 23 June - it's a full page ad with the majority of the space given to the two Vivian Stanshall releases   \/\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eClassic Rock 316 - on sale 23 June - it's a half page ad with the majority of the space given to the two Vivian Stanshall releases   \/\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eMojo \\u2013 September issue \\u2013 on sale 18 July \\u2013 a half page\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDog Howl In Tune\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade Of Stone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI'd Rather Cut My Hands\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Good Woman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoodbye Mother\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo Time Like The Future\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrongth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGecko\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLanding On My Feet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly Being Myself\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoy In Darkness\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55123968721281,"sku":"1827957","price":15.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0636551893220_646DFC5B.png?v=1766550933","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1827957","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
