| 1974 release. The original music was commissioned for a major stage production of Shakespeare's The Tempest at Britain's National Theatre. It opened at the historic Old Vic Theatre in April 1974. The music the band wrote and recorded for the stage production inspired the 21-minute "Midnight Mushrumps" (named after a phrase mentioned in The Tempest). Following the successful premiere of the play and acclaim for its music, Lewis arranged for Gryphon to give a Sunday evening concert at the Old Vic in July 1974 - the first-ever and to date only rock concert held at Britain's National Theatre. |

| Second release from FM released in May 1978. It was the first FM album to feature Ben Mink.
"The album was made using the direct to disc recording method, in which recording tape is not used. This method requires that the group perform two 15-minute sides live in the studio with no overdubs. The recording is mixed live and transcribed to the master disc as it is being performed." - wiki |
