UNICORN
Four-disc box set from David Gilmour’s favourite fantastic beasts.
Slow Dancing - The Recordings 1974-1979 ESOTERIC
Anyone would be forgiven for being unfamiliar with Unicorn. The UK country rockers made four records in the 70s, but never found the popularity that sustained their contemporaries past the punk era. Their softer, sunshine-y West Coast inspirations may well have felt out-of-kilter with the typical blues-obsessed British groups of the time, yet it caught the ear of David Gilmour and they began a fruitful working relationship that would see the Pink Floyd man produce three albums.
