UM GRUPO DE CURTA DURAÇÃO E DE UM DISCO SÓ!! NASCEU DAS CINZAS DO GRUPO BLONDE ON BLONDE, CUJO GUITARRISTA, RALPH DENYER, DEIXOU A BANDA PARA INICIAR O PROJETO AQUILA!! O SOM DA AQUILA ERA BASEADO EM INFLUÊNCIAS JAZZ E ART ROCK E NESTE ÚNICO DISCO FIZERAM UMA OBRA PRIMA!! TRATA-SE DE ÁLBUM DE ALTO VALOR NO MERCADO ENTRE OS COLECIONADORES POR SER RARO E TAMBÉM POR SUA ALTA QUALIDADE!! UM ÓTIMO VENENO!! HARD ROCK JAZZ PSYCH NA DOSE CERTA, SEM VIAJAR MUITO EM NENHUMA DESTAS INFLUÊNCIAS!! NOTEM OS INSTRUMENTOS QUE OS CARAS USAVAM E JÁ TERÃO UMA IDÉIA DO SOM!! VENENO EM DOSE CERTA!!Welsh band Aquila arose from the ashes of late 1960's band BLONDE ON BLONDE. Founding guitarist Ralph Denyer left that band in 1970 to work on his Aquila project. Blonde on Blonde recruited new vocalist/guitarist David Thomas (an old school friend of Denyer) to replace Denyer, and went on to record their best album "Rebirth".
Aquila's music, while substantially based in art rock, draws in influences from a diverse range of influences, including jazz and heavy rock. Deyner was the clear leader of the band, writing all the songs on their sole release, a self titled album.Quite what happened to the band thereafter, and why they split up so quickly is something of a mystery, especially since they were signed o a major label (RCA). Wind instrumentalist George Lee joined ARRIVAL, a mainly vocal collaboration who enjoyed brief singles success (before his arrival with "Friends". (Answers.com notes that this is the same George Lee who was born in Ghana, real name Kwame Narh Kojo Larnyoh, who was a member of Burning Spear and Toots & the Maytals, but I suspect this is inaccurate.)
