String Driven Thing - The Machine That Cried


Fondly remembered, if only now by a select few (dave roberts for one), but in Holland you can still find alot of people, that have a few titles in their collections.

String Driven Thing.
They were Scottish progressive rockers whose appeal rested largely on the scrapings of their classically trained violinist,
Grahame Smith. Nothing jaunty or celtic, mind, his style was almost Mogadon morose.
With leader Chris Adams supplying the suitably dark and troubled musings, their crowning moment came in 1973 with "The Machine that Cried". on Charisma, their label at the time, they considered it a little too grim for public consumption and forced a few key changes.
This though, is the band's own restored version and a fine, creepy period piece it is too, never more so than on Heartfeeder and the epic, if flawed, River of Sleep, which was cut to ribbons first time around.
The track To See You sounds like dylan could have sang it.
