Clark-hutchinson
Retribution
Clark-Hutchinson is a band formed in 1970 initially as a duo: Andy Clark on keyboards and vocals, and Mick Hutchinson on guitar. Their first work was "A=MH2", characterized by long free improvisations and a certain psychedelia. After this album, the band expanded by adding two more members: Amazing Stephen on bass, and Den Coverley on drums. This line-up brought to light in the same year "Retribution", setting the sound much more on hard rock blues and progressive rock, very similar to bands like Zior, Edgar Broughton Band, and Monument. The album mainly stands out for the linear, charged, distorted and full of pathos voice of the singer; the band's technical evolution represented by the Hutchinson's unleashed performance on the six strings and guitar slashes and the omnipresent rhythmic drumming of Coverley.
