about

in 1971, Clyle Davenport arrived on England's shores from the United States of America. He was looking for work as a musician, specifically an organ player in a theater. One of his odd demands was that his friends, sisters Ludora Murt and Pippi Murt, would also be employed. Nobody would take him up on his offer until word got out that a new science-fiction television programme was going to be made, based off of author Philo E. Philo's underground book series "Efron's Flight". Because of the show producers using a song from Mrs. Helen Marf and Ford Hassell Clark Jr.'s album "canzoni di pazzia e morte" for the title track ("tarantella #5"), Quilt Records president Clancy Snarrup was consulted. He knew Clyle Davenport somehow, and talked the producers into hiring him for the incidental music of the series. By this time, however, Clyle Davenport had acquired some new tools and a new direction in his music. With Ludora and Pippi Murt by his side, Clyle crafted the intricate background music for "Efron's Flight". Unfortunately, the critics hated the show, calling it "...confusing, pretentious, and preposterous garbage...that only appealed to the prurient interests of deranged loners and heathens." and proved very controversial in its depiction of Jesus Christ as a horny, alien time-traveler. It only lasted 3 episodes before the series was pulled under pressure of the public protesting outside of the television studios night and day. Luckily, Quilt Records issued the soundtracks for all three episodes, minus the title track by Marf and Hassell because of legalities involved. Clyle and the Murt sisters disappeared soon after and have not been heard from since.
