THINK LIKE A KEY MUSIC

Step into the musical cattle pen of 1973, where ELO's Michael de Albuquerque breaks free from the herd with his solo debut. "We May Be Cattle But We've All Got Names" isn't just an album title—it's a declaration of individuality in a sea of conformity.

This isn't your grandpa's easy-listening record. De Albuquerque corrals an all-star posse including Patto's guitar-slinger Ollie Halsall, whose fretwork could start a stampede. Add in the likes of Frank Ricotti, BJ Cole, and Gerry Conway, and you've got a lineup that could make the most hardened music critic weep into their Weetabix.

From intricate arrangements that twist like a labyrinth to melodies that soar higher than a cow jumping over the moon, de Albuquerque's virtuosity is on full display. This is fusion with a capital 'F'—forget genres, we're in uncharted pastures now.

What's in the barn?

• A shiny new remaster by the enigmatic Prof. Stoned (No cows were harmed in the process)
• Liner notes by George de Albuquerque that'll make you say, "Holy cow!"
• Rare photos that prove these musicians weren't just chewing cud
• De Albuquerque's own session notes (Spoiler: No actual cattle were involved)
• A previously unheard bonus track (It's not "Old MacDonald," we promise)

Don't be cattle-content with your usual musical fodder. Grab this bovine-titled masterpiece and let de Albuquerque take you on a wild ride through pastures unknown. After all, in a world of cattle, why not be the one with a name?

PRESS "The album opens with Dribble Dribble that has a funky Little Feat style edge, with some great stereo effects from the guitars and keyboards, as the mix sounds amazing, even if I wonder exactly what Michael is Dribbling on about, it doesn't matter when you hear Ollie Halsall's guitar solo." -Simon Phillips, Whispering And Hollering
