JELLO 2 CD.
Abandoning some of their previous theories about unplugged music Spinning Jelly went for the hi tech approach on their next album. Using 16 digital tracks the band experimented freely with the advanced sonority available with overlaid tracks. Steve Payne again produced and engineered the recording assisted by Steve Sheard at Pagan Studios in Runcorn. On this album Steve was able to use his full skills as a rerecording mixer, and produced sounds of depth and quality which were a revelation. Rich sounds and sophisticated arrangements opened new horizons for expression of the band's love of music.
The line up was:
The tracks were:
Rights of Man.
Dancing at Whitsun/Starling Bridge.
Herd on the Hill/Belle of Belfast City/Buttered Peas.
Idir Dheighric'gus Breo/Kid on the Mountain.
The Green Gates/The Tenpenny Bit/The Rakes of Kildare.
The Women of Ireland/The Green Fields of America/De'il Among the Taylors.
Dr Fauster's Tumblers.
The Lassie with the Golden Hair.
Lovely Joan/Billy Boy.
Heathery Breeze/When the Boat Comes in.
Hewlett. Neil Gowe's Farewell to Whiskey.
Watercress-O.
As I Roved Out.
Oh Dear Me.
Waiting for the Federals.
The title of the album, and a small tune within it, were inspired by an impressive ornithological phenomenon seen at Runcorn Bridge at sunset . The bridge is the subject of a dramatic photo on the album cover taken by Allan Robertshaw, a faithful associate of the band.
