The little-known Scottish band Light of Darkness consisted of Mike
Reoch (bass, flute, piano, harmonica), Byron Grant (guitars, fiddle),
John Latimer (vocals, piano, organ, percussion), and German drummer
Manfred Bebert. They were based in Hamburg, Germany, and their only
record was released by the German label Phillips in 1970. This
self-titled debut album is in a kind-of progressive blues-rock style,
highlighted by Latimer's odd voice and an energetic cover of Tony Joe
White's "Soul Francisco." However, critics at that time dismissed the
record as being directionless; the record-buying public ignored the LP
and after a couple of concerts, Light of Darkness disbanded. Today,
their only recording has become a minor cult classic and a collector's
item. Unfortunately, the bandmembers disappeared and never recorded
again. Before Light of Darkness, both Reoch and Grant had been in a band
called Mike Reoch and the Tremors (together with Dennis Morrison and
Don Stuart), and released an album called "Internationale Evergreens" on
Elite Special in the 1960s.
