Excalibur was produced in 1985 and 1986 in the Bovet
Studio. It was significantly shorter than the previous three
albums, and concentrated on a new direction for Cloud Of Dust
- a focus on guitar based music.
The album was written and performed entirely by Andy Hunt,
but with some technical assistance from Nick Hawkins on the final
track I Love Women (featuring the electronic voice of
a Commodore 64 computer).
While Religious Indoctrination and You Knocked Me
Down ring with the anger of a failed relationship, 18-30
Holiday and Flammarion look at the lighter side of
life. The title song tells of a story which parallels with Arthurian
legend, but with some obvious deviations.
Excalibur shows further maturity and diversification,
with several of the songs ripe for a remake. |
