Before Huw Lloyd-Langton passed away on December 6, 2012, he had put the finishing touches on a very personal, very unique collection of tracks from his private vault.\u00a0 On January 29, 2013, Cleopatra Records will proudly release HUW LLOYD-LANGTON: RARE & UNRELEASED ANTHOLOGY 1971-2012.\u00a0 This 2-CD set includes seldom or never-heard gems that highlight Huw\u2019s legacy of dynamic and melodic guitarwork.<\/p>\n
RARE & UNRELEASED ANTHOLOGY features unheard solo acoustic recordings of \u201cRocky Paths\u201d and \u201cDamn Shame\u201d (later recorded by Hawkwind and The Lloyd Langton Group), full-band recordings from side projects Magill and Jawa, and brand new acoustic recordings from 2012 being released for the first time here.<\/p>\n
Self-taught guitarist with mind-bending scope and range, Lloyd-Langton joined Hawkwind as a teen in 1970 and immediately made his mark by contributing his unique guitar stylings on the band\u2019s groundbreaking self-titled debut album, considered one the first space-rock albums to be released.\u00a0 While maintaining an important albeit inconsistent role in Hawkwind for many years, Lloyd-Langton expanded his personal creativity with heavy focus on songwriting and via bands he formed, like Magill.<\/p>\n
Comfortable and exceptional playing all styles of music \u2013 from hard rock to classical to blues \u2013 Lloyd-Langton toured with Leo Sayer before co-founding acclaimed U.K. hard rock band Widowmaker.\u00a0 He taught himself classical music composition, and always stayed aware of newer music climates.\u00a0 As a much-loved member of the Cleopatra Records family, Lloyd-Langton had been a significant part of projects, like working with Kinks legend Dave Davies on a track for The Black Keys tribute album Black on Blues, and with Joe Elliott, Rick Wakeman and Carmine Appice on Who Are You, an all-star tribute to The Who.\u00a0 His innovative guitar work was featured on the Space Rock Invasion DVD taken from the 2011 Space Rock Invasion tour.<\/p>\n
RARE & UNRELEASED ANTHOLOGY, curated by Lloyd-Langton himself, is now, sadly but beautifully, a remarkable tribute to the life\u2019s work of a musical genius whose broad-minded explorations offered so much to so many.<\/p>\n
