Towards the end of 1975, I again teamed up with John Bland on drums,
Alan Shipgood on bass, and were joined by James Gleave on keyboards
and synthesizer (the early days of), writing all our own stuff in a
continuous suite approach. It went under the name of Oa Band as a
continuation of the Planet Oa vibe of 1972-73. There was however a
noticeable difference in the overall style of music - a more jazz
influenced form of rock, aiming for a greater dynamic range in
content and intensity. I think we all learned much during this
period, developing an under-standing, and friendships which continue
to the present day - more than 30 years later.
