RE: Gizmo - was Daevid Allen/glissando guitar
...and
I've just remembered, Godley & Creme made a concept album to show off the
Gizmo, I've never heard it (or know of anyone who did), AMG
says;
"This album, the solo debut of former 10cc members Kevin Godley and Lol Creme, is generally considered to be one
of the most notorious examples of '70s music-business excess.
Consequences began its life as a single designed to show off the "gizmo,"
a musical device created by Godley & Creme that allowed an electric guitar
to create symphonic-sounding textures when attached to its neck. Somewhere along
the line, this single blew up into a triple-disc concept album about nature
taking its revenge on mankind through hurricanes, floods, and the like. The
first disc is almost entirely instrumental, using the ‘gizmo' to create all
sorts of different textures as a hurricane dubbed “Honolulu Lulu" trashes Hawaii
and heads for the United States."
