This Heat - This Heat

In 1976, [a=Charles Hayward] of [a=Phil Manzanera]'s [a=Quiet Sun] (and, briefly, [a=Gong]) joined with [a=Charles Bullen] and [a=Gareth Williams] to form This Heat. Though arising from art-rock and the British school of fusion jazz, This Heat quickly developed into an experimental band largely dependent on tape loops and production tricks. This Heat dissolved in 1982-1983 following a European tour in which [a=Trefor Goronwy] replaced Gareth Williams who had recently departed the band. [a=Charles Bullen] went on to solo work and put together his own studio in the late 1980s; he has recently issued a CD under his own name. Gareth Williams subsequently released a cassette-only album [a=Flaming Tunes] in 1985 with [a=Mary Currie] and continued to perform as a DJ until shortly before his death. [a=Charles Hayward] decided to keep up public performances and formed [a=The Camberwell Now] along with Trefor Goronwy and several others.
