Aroundabout 1990, Robert John Godfrey re-activated The Enid with a completely new lineup and a series of low-key gigs. I saw this fledgling incarnation play in a tiny club in Derby and remember being blown away by the energy generated. To my surprise, RJG had lost a lot of weight and ditched his usual flamboyant attire for a grubby, grey boiler suit.
Highpoint of the night was a trance/dance epic which was introduced as 'E is for Enid'. This track went on and on and blasted the audience into an euphoric stratosphere. What a night!
It took a few years to get this group into a newly-built recording studio and the first result was 'Tripping the Light Fantastic'. And, if I am not mistaken, the 'E is for Enid' track appears here under the name 'Dark Hydraulic'. It's still massive.
Actually rather good.
