They were joined by John Goodsall on electric guitars and six- and twelve-string acoustic ones.Īctual science and science-fiction both played influenced the composers as they crafted a baker's dozen of largely instrumental songs to conjure the Red Planet. They jointly composed the music and produced the LP while Lancaster handled the brass arrangements he farmed out the string parts to Simon Jeffes. Lancaster and Lumley both played a variety of instruments including woodwinds and violin for the former and pianos, organs, and synthesizers for the latter. Marscape was recorded at Trident Studios where the duo would welcome some of the same personnel who had played on Peter, including drummer Phil Collins and bassist Percy Jones. Lancaster and Lumley had already worked together on short film soundtracks and played together in the bands Karass and The Soul Searchers. Though the success of Peter and the Wolf directly led to Marscape, it was far from the first collaboration of the pair. The 1976 concept album Marscape was inspired by the landing on Mars of NASA's Viking Explorer 2 in September of that year Now, on March 25, Esoteric will turn its attention to the next album from the pair of Lancaster and Lumley. 21st Century Schizoid Man (Live at the Marquee Club, 1971) – King Crimsonġ9.Late last year, Cherry Red's Esoteric Recordings arm reissued the rock-meets-classical interpretation of Sergei Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf conceived by Jack Lancaster (Blodwyn Pig) and Robin Lumley (Brand X).
