Melody of a Muddled Mason

The following albums, 'Phantom Stimulance' and 'The Choko King' were mostly made up of re-recordings, 'lost' songs, pre-Fevergreens sketches, and various odds and ends, making 'Melody of a Muddled Mason' the natural successor to 'Neo Dada'. Some of Jono el Grande's finest songwriting can be found here, and he has refined his already considerable arranging skills to perfection - just listen to 'Bach's Beach' and the title-track for evidence. Jono el Grande lists movements like Rock in Opposition and the Canterbury scene and artists and composers like Frank Zappa, Stravinsky, Magma, Henry Cow, and Gentle Giant as sources of inspiration. With his releases and stage shows he has now established his own signature, with mature compositions, refined arrangements, improved guitar playing, and the introduction of subtle vocals.
