At the Sound of the Bell on LP

It's been a half century since Pavlov's Dog burst onto the burgeoning progressive rock scene

of the early 1970s. Hailing from the city of St. Louis, Missouri, their heady blend of rock,

classical and folk music turned them into cult legends. The band has seen lots of lineup

changes and internal turmoil over the years, leading to extended breaks between album

releases. But today, David Surkamp - lead singer, main songwriter and last remaining original

member of Pavlov's Dog - continues to fly the banner high, accompanied by an accomplished

group of musicians that is a credit to the band's good name.

Despite the departure of two key founding members, Mike Safron and Siegfried Carver, prior

to the recording, many consider At The Sound Of The Bell to be the band's finest hour. Born

from sessions at New York's famous Record Plant Studios, a world-class lineup of musicians

that included drummer Bill Bruford (Yes, King Crimson), bassist Elliot Randall (Steely Dan)

and saxophonists Andy Mackay (Roxy Music) and Michael Brecker (Billy Cobham) adds

tasteful accents to the classic Pavlov's Dog sound.
