AMM Laminal at some point this weekend,the start of BMs new album,follows a lineage from this amazing band (in my head i must say,this me not BM, she does her stuff and I get lost in it)..anyway Syd Barrett was on the case!...Syd had seen a Binson Echorec being used in May 1966, when hed been invited to watch experimental electronic band AMM recording their debut album with Joe Boyd. AMMs guitarist was Keith Rowe, who favoured an unsentimental approach to his instrument that made use of effects, treatments and the use of assorted household implements. One of his favourite effects was achieved by running a plastic ruler up and down his guitar strings for an unusual grating sound. (Apart from Interstellar Overdrive, Syd used this trick on the middle section of Arnold Layne while the guitar was routed through the Binson.) Seeing AMM liberated Syd. He began to use his guitar more as an effect generator than a mere device for playing chords and solos.........................
