I remember listening to my brothers copy of this LP, after he'd been impressed watching them perform Live at the Electric Circus in Scarborough (don't look for it, it's not there any more). I was hooked from the 1st. The Songs certainly stand the test of time. I'd sell my soul for the guitar tab to Ravioli. Extremely underrated prog rock outfit. Buy and be impressed.

Who knows who lives in the mysterious House on Hill but it does'nt matter, sit back and enjoy some unique sounds of Werth & Gemmell. If you can find musical nirvana somewhere between Pink Floyd & Pavlov's Dog then this album is for you! Audience is a typically alternative English collaboration that spawned out of the last days of flower power and the end of the 60's. Defying pigeon holing & catagories, this eclectic and adventuresome band knew what 'unplugged' was long before Nirvana or Eric Clapton. The production by Gus Dudgeon giving an eerie acoustic tone over the whole album. If you've heard Elton Johns' Funeral for a Friend you'll understand the types of production techniques Mr Dudgeon had been experimenting with. Overall a fantastic album - check out the bands other albums too!

Another example of quality music from a lesser known band. This album while definitely entrenched in the rock genre is enriched by its jazz and classical influences. The two long tracks 'Jackdaw' and 'The house on the hill' are superb, with Keith Gemmell's reedwork outstanding. The rest of the album is not far behind with Howard Werth's classical guitar always to the fore especially on 'Raviole'.
Never heard of Audience?, don't let that put you off, they were one of the many unsung bands of the early 70s underground scene.
