which grew up in Britain in the late sixties. 

Tony Hill had earlier played with The Misunderstood.

He also played with members of The Third Ear Band on the soundtrack 

to Roman Polanski's 'Macbeth'. Peter Pavli was later involved

Their albums, which were for the most part completely uncommercial, 

were characterised by elaborate, sometimes over-sophisticated guitar work. 

The band were more popular on the Continent than in Britain.

Their second album was of a similar mould and comprised just three tracks; 

the 14 minute Saneonymous which accounts for the whole of side 2, 

the 8 minute Blankman Cries Again and The Joke, which lasts for over 9 minutes. 

All three are extended instrumental compositions with occasional vocal interludes. 

Despite their undoubted ability as musicians, High Tide's music lacked 

sufficient interest to attain wide recognition.  As High Tide's albums had not sold well 

when originally issued, they had become quite difficult to obtain...(Tapestry of Delights)
