LA RECENSIONE
With this (non) review, I would like to (re)invite you, without too much chatter, to listen to this immense (and underappreciated) 70s Prog masterpiece, conceived by a one-of-a-kind band that undoubtedly deserved greater attention.
I lack talent in reviewing, but even if I had it, I would have had very few chances to improve or add anything to the (already fabulous) review available, which I wholeheartedly encourage you to (re)read.
Well, what else to say, cheers to you... and a premature death to the Psicho(focking)Nano bastard.

String Driven Thing
Formed as a trio in the late sixties in Glasgow, String Driven Thing expanded their line-up and signed to the Charisma label. Chris Adams (leader) and his wife Pauline are central voices, and Graham Smith's electrified violin is a defining element. Reviews on DeBaser single out The Machine That Cried as a high point.02 Reviews

Sometimes even machines cry... String Driven Thing is proof of that.
The voices become restless and frightened in the most anxious and uneasy moments of the work, such as in the title track or in the opening 'Heartfeeder' where tension seems to reign supreme.
