PETE BROWN & PIBLOKTO!PETE BROWN, DAVE THOMPSON, STEVE GLOVER, JIM MULLEN, ROB TAIT
Brown formed Piblokto! after he'd been asked to leave Battered Ornaments.
Piblokto's debut album was much more accessible than any of the Battered Ornaments' output.
After the release of the second album, Brown disbanded the band and put together a new line-up.
After their demise Brown began a collaboration with Graham Bond

Musically it was some good jazz-rock, with the emphasis not always on Brown's vocals and elliptical lyrics,
as Jim Mullen's "Highland Song" offered an inventive, lengthy instrumental as the disc's centerpiece.
The title cut has a Pink Floyd edge, surprising given Brown's predilection for jazz and blues, but it works well in the context.
Guitarist Mullen is co-writer throughout, while the rhythm section of Rob Tait and Steve Glover swing rather than plod.
"Station Song Platform Two" employs Mellotron to full prog rock effect, while "Got a Letter from a Computer"
seems eerily ahead of its time for the early '70s. This was the last gasp of this incarnation of Piblokto!,
but there's no doubt they went out on a high note...(AllMusic)
