Mountain Music

 Nic Potter is probably best known for his work with the

British rock band Van Der Graaf Generator. Initially however

Nic played in a band called The Misunderstood along with

Guy Evans who would also join Van Der Graaf Generator.

Nic joined Van Der Graaf Generator in 1969 and recorded

the album The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other

and recorded part of the next album H To He, Who Am The

Only One before leaving. He was however to return to the

band later in the seventies and played on two more albums

from the band, the studio album The Quiet Zone/The

Pleasure Dome and the live album Vital before the band split.

In between times and of course beyond his final stint with

Van Der Graaf Generator Nic Potter has had an extensive

solo career recording a number of solo albums and for a

short period in the early to mid eighties was a member of

Peter Hammill's band The K Group.

Mountain Music was originally released in 1983 and like

many of Nic Potter's albums features music of an electronic

nature. The album features contributions from Guy Evans,

guitarists John Ellis, formerly of the Vibrators and the

Stranglers and Peter Gabriel's band and Huw Lloyd Langton

formerly of Hawkwind.

Tracks include Morning Suite, Paradise Journey, The Forest

and Mountain Vision. Mountain Music forms part of a

campaign of Nic Potter reissues that began with the boxed

set All Contained in 2009.
