The Gold at the end of the rainbow

name Wooden Mac. This track formed part of the blues set demos, when the guys decided extra dry was preferable to actual production. Mind you in the days when snares were
recorded at the bottom of wells and bands were mixed with York Minster reverbs, I suppose they had their reasons. Anyway, later on, 1991 to be exact this song found itself in the soundtrack of yet another project that didn't come to fruition
"Twelve Bars to Every Tune". Andy's rant at Von Daniken followers came in the form of a sort of musical comedy which suggested that interstellar intervention theories
concluding that man owed his technological development to the stars, taken to their logical conclusion would see blues music being the product of an Alien ad executive on the way to promote a new space drink with a jingle, that he carelessly leaves on Earth, when forced to land there. Having realised it's mistake, the alien returns to Earth but due to certain spatial realities arrives several centuries after it's first visit. Therefore and with no adequate explanation it goes to Pekham and hires an un-inquisitive PI to discover the origin of The Twelve Bar
Blues. In his search he meets various people, such as John Lee Honker a relative of the man who inherited the playback/record device and also a large amount of uncollected royalties. The script ripped the P not only of films such as Angel Heart, Close Encounters etc, but two of the characters seem to resemble a cross between the X Files Moulder and Scully and the villain out of the Matrix.
This and many other tracks fromThe AM Band are available on itunes albums "Less is More" & "Mess is Law"
