Uk group with the curious name recorded at the beginning in 1972 a disc
folk-rock namesake of a psico-progressive packing, 9:30 Fly. All the
songs are dominated from the harmony of the voices of Michael and his
wife Barbara Wainwright.In November the group act together with Velvet
Underground in Malver Winter Gardens. Shortly after the Fly vanished
without any trace. So this record on the highly collectable Ember label
is nowadays a dificult to find rarity.Difficult to know how to describe
9.30 Fly; sort-of folky, sort-of proto-prog, sort-of quite a few things,
without ever really being any of them. To be quite honest, 9.30 Fly
isn't the most exciting album ever, although it's perfectly pleasant as
background music, with male and female vocals from husband-and-wife team
(?) Barbara and Michael Wainwright at different points, and a relaxed
feel that has nothing in common with, say, Van der Graaf Generator. It
isn't helped in the slightest by Michael's consistently flat voice,
though, especially when he's attempting to harmonise with Barbara, as on
Time Of War.
