Axcraft - Dancing Madly Backwards (1974)

AXCRAFT was formed in 1974 by Jim Mc Lellan in Los Angeles, CA (USA). The bands major influences were groups like YES, PINK FLOYD and GENESIS. They did enough tracks for one album before outside interferences broke up the original band. Lead singer and founder of the group was told he did not fit in with Ken Scott after Scott took over management of the group. Scott was an engineer on the BEATLES "White Album", and also enginerred albums for David Bowie, SUPERTRAMP, Jeff Beck etc. Mc Lellan left L.A. after the realization that he could not sway the group to continue on the musial path they had already begun. The group has had one cd released entitled "Dancing Madly Backwards", which features the original band and Mc Lellan's vocals. The rest of the members were Gary Gossett (drummer), Mike Carroll (bass), Danny Stickler (guitar), Jim Mc Lellan (vocals & percussion). The album has sold several thousands of copies worldwide but the group has yet to receive any royalties.
