Piano Magic AB-CD Highlight From 2004 Saint Marie (ep) Format: Wallet In Wallet CD printed on reverse board. That means the rough side of the paper. Like Joy Division's "Still" album. CD includes a sticker album info. Green UFOS is proud to announce the release of a new 6 song EP by Piano Magic. The "Saint Marie EP" follows hot on the heels of December's widely-acclaimed "The Troubled Sleep Of Piano Magic" album (including 4 stars in Uncut and Mojo) and proves Piano Magic to be one of the UK's most prolific bands. Indeed, 5 albums, a double CD retrospective compilation, a film soundtrack and over 10 singles, split-singles, EPs and remixes in 7 years can't be wrong. The "Saint Marie EP" was recorded over 3 days during Autumn 2003 in London by band members Glen Johnson, Jerome Tcherneyan, Franck Alba, Alasdair Steer and James Topham. Alan Sparhawk from Low makes a special guest vocal appearance on a revamped version of "Saint Marie" (from "The Troubled Sleep Of...") and on a new song, "Wrong Turn." The latter also features Ben Ayres from Cornershop on the tamboura. The late 60's/early 70's folk heroine, Vashti Bunyan, also returns to the band - she famously sang on the band's previous "Writers Without Homes" album - her first recording in 30 years. Vashti sings on "Dark Ages" and joins Alan on "Wrong Turn." Linnea Malmberg, a Swedish harpist, is a newcomer to the Piano Magic family. "Kind Theme" is her own composition and beautifully winds down this dreamlike record. This is not Piano Magic's first collaboration with Low. Along with Transient Waves, the band recorded a 7" A-side, "Sleep At The Bottom," for Rocket Girl Records in the late 90's. The two bands have also played concerts together on several occasions in the UK. Vashti Bunyan was gently coaxed out of retirement to provide vocals for Piano Magic's "Crown Of The Lost" in 2002. She has since re-embarked on a musical career, played live in 2003 (with members of Fridge as her backing band) and is currently working on her first album since 1971's "Just Another Diamond Day."
