The Underground Story of Transatlantic Records 1968-1976, this new box set features contributions from usual suspects like the Deviants, Skin Alley and Stray to less likely purveyors of the counterculture such as Pentangle, Mike and Sally Oldfield and even Billy Connolly.
Transatlantic Records were launched way back before Beatlemania in 1961 by 20-something Brummie Jazz fan Nat Joseph. After a visit stateside he inaugurated the label by securing the rights for UK issue of classic Jazz LPs from the back catalogues of the Prestige and Riverside imprints. Always wanting to broaden the appeal, Transatlantic soon branched out into Folk, signing scene leaders the Dubliners and John Redbourne among others. Classical music also came under their auspices, but ironically the label enjoyed its greatest success with three big selling sex education LPs! Though mostly giving Beat and Pop a wide berth, the emergence of Psychedelia and “the underground” granted Jospeh and his label an entry into the Rock arena.
First, he had a near hit with the Purple Gang’s Granny Takes A Trip and issued hip recordings by experimentalist Ron Geesin. Then he sought to licence the US versions of Psychedelia with TA issuing the key platters from the key players like the Fugs and Frank Zappa’s Mothers Of Invention. By 1969 Transatlantic had a roster of underground rockers that read like a “Fantasy Football” who’s who of the scene, with the Deviants, Stray and Little Free Rock in their number. Also netting the cream of what Folk had to offer in the first “supergroup” of that genre in Pentangle, the label was pleasingly diverse and unpredictable.

A bright and sunny album from Friends of Dean Martinez? — not likely — but Lost Horizon is the closest thing to an “up” album that the boys have yet put out. Where 2004’s Random Harvest was all twilight and settled dust, Lost Horizon is all dawn and evaporating dew. The back story attached to the tunes is still dark this time out, but there’s a sense of contentedness and hope as well. Even dirge-tempo numbers like “All in the Golden Afternoon” and “Departure” have a sense of new-day optimism coupled with their Western desert melancholia. In keeping with Friends of Dean Martinez’s usual mode of operations, achingly beautiful melodies glide over parched and barren arrangements — mixing the gorgeous with the gritty and delivering the Old West atmospherics that fans of the band require and expect. Like all of the band’s previous efforts, Lost Horizon plays beautifully as the soundtrack to a Cinemascope Western film — elongated forms kicking up dust on a landscape of perpetual sunset — and is suitable for filing somewhere between the film music of Ennio Morricone and the cowboy paintings of Frederic Remington.

“Wit, wisdom and an unapologetic appetite for the good times might conjure some unexpected comparisons with Calexico, but Old Salt Union are debutants who are comfortable in their bluegrass/newgrass pants. This fine debut cries out for a chance to hear it all in three dimensions.” Irish Times
