Extra Info: Fantastic Album !! ORiginal UK 1st press LP on CBS ...wow .. ex top audio, top copy !! Amazing album ~~

~~ At The Sound Of the Bell was the second release from this astonishing band that popped up in the mid 1970's and just as quickly disappeared. David Surkamp's lead vocals carry emotional upper register intensity that pierce the ether like the eye of a storm but he doesn't stand alone, this muster of musicians lay down some of the most tastefully textured instrumentation known to rock music, where mandolins mix it up with guitars and much else.

Adding Bill Bruford on drums (from Yes: listen to 'Close to the Edge' album) and with session man Michael Brecker delivering one of his quintessential, blistering alto sax breaks (Try to Hang On) the core of this tightly focused group created another album of poignant, miraculous beauty. Among the extensive list of guest artists, Surkamp had the presence of mind to enlist the High Wycombe Boy's Choir for back up vocals on Valkerie.

The songs reveal a storm tossed humanity constantly at odds with soul piecing delusions whether those delusions be lost love, unfound gold or the anonymity of old age. Referred to once as a `choir boy on speed', David Surkamp's intense emotional delivery (he can hold a note like no other), cloaked in the flair and dash of such an extraordinary band, made Pavlov's Dog one of the most exciting groups to emerge in rock music from a decade that, with hindsight, was more adventurous and bold than its been given credit for.
