1) The Fox formed in Brighton in 1968 when veterans of several local bands teamed together. Hammond organist Alex Lane, drummer Tim Reeves, and percussionist-singer Nick Apostiledes had been in the mod-soul band the Alex Lane Group. Reeves had also been in the soul band Omega Plus, as had bassist-keyboardist Dave Windross. Songwriter and guitarist Steve Brayne, who had known Lane and Reeves since primary school, completed the first lineup, though Apostiledes was soon replaced by guitarist Winston Weatherill (formerly in Gary Farr & the T-Bones). The band made test recordings at a 12-hour session in Radio Luxembourg Studios, which worked out so well that most of them were issued as For Fox Sake, though a couple tracks were re-recorded. Management interest cooled off, however, and The Fox broke up soon after the album's release.

The Fox's lone album is essential and worthy of any record collection. Originally released on Fontana Records in 1970, the album is an work of art with some great haunting guitar work and hammond organ. All the songs included here are expertly crafted pop with enough experimentation, psychedelia, and intelligence to make it worth your while and if the works on this album are anything to go by then, they must have been a great live act.
For many of us the Fox were first introduced to us via the fourth Rubble compilation, 'The 49 Minute Technicolour Dream', anyone remember "Butterfly"?, which despite it's majestic sound and liner notes, actually featured no sitar at all!
Top picks from the album include the single, "Secondhand Love" which has some nice guitar and organ interplay; "Glad I Could" has a nice feel to it making it a nice beaty pop number which would have made an excellent single; "Birthday Card" has some really nice harmonies and lovely organ work; "Madame Magical" is real brain stormer and the most psychedelic sounding clocking in at almost ten minutes.

Hike ya kicks up
Niggas spilling like we throwing dice
Decisive when we strike with fists bruh
Shit enticing like the darkest vices
You either bark or bite
Carving up the sky just like an Arkham night
Partners in disguise fully
Sinai the potion no smoke & mirrors
Multiply an opus let the culture steer it
Vultures grow to fear us
The flight taking off
We lasers through the fog
Augmented by the vapors blow it out the nasal angels sing
Mental sew a testament
Rest my eyes
Most high behind me like the vestiges
Vibrant when the moon shift
Few clips
Gold tooth diamond cutter
Find the number one headband
Walk across the battlefield
Land of the dead
They cant kill us all
Manifest while the feelings raw as the flesh
Left effigies
Born beside a morbid posture
Opera
Carting black stretchers
Full metal essence
Been bleeding through the vehicle for thought
Lost leisure the cost of what I'm seeking
We on the margins
Dearly departed deceive the norm
Water breathing then taking form
Formless inside the force
Distort and belie the origin
Like rich kids
You forging bricks
Pour the 5th into the porcelain
Ignoring shit
Bell toes I came up first
Like lurks
You don't see the movements
Just blurs
Adjust words
Cold killer keep a stuck smirk
A puss burst
Not a blemish or a muster
Mucous cause a rupture
If you blow up you must splurge
I'm not a driller
I'm more stylish
A flock will have you meet your maker
And designer
Pandemonium
Panoramic photo the moment then
I planted seeds in this art
You can fit the moment in
The photo gen
Bringing light to dark like when you
Photo Jin
For the moment I ain't
Posted shit
Not feeling photogenic
Soul assisted
Lost in the blankness of minds
Facing this time
Dropped the rhymes
To keep my stasis in line
They impatiently waiting
Cut my face through a crowd
Cause I ain't have to get the jab
A rhymer still on his job
Still not compliant
My dream provide a limitless high
And when ya ink black
You fill up the sky
Aha
Yeah
Attract the solar
Project the tangible densities
Masking the entropy
Stack my entity in the flesh
Been a threat to all you cyber internet
Lying capping
Like you iron man
We defined the clan
This cordial sleight of hand
Try again with all of that
Sneak dissing
Based on ya weak posture
Can barely handle 3 dimensions
Please don't impede the vision
Ya energy ether fission
That spewing out
Funny spitting Garbage from the snout
But you ain't saying shit
Sent a couple bars to the homie spliff
Yeah we made the hit
Double tracers to ya noggin head
Hearty crown
Fourth seven
For the vitamin
Had to slide the
With gang of 300
Shouts to Jeremiah man
Swanky lean
Idle stance
Had a nigga saying sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
We never needed the weapon
Just add the four to the seven
It started as half of spliff
Then it changed to a
Couple ounces quick
Served a lot of fiends but his purpose
Ain't make a fountain drip
Heard it in my dreams I know
Vacancy should account the 5th
I know breaking trees will amount to spliffs
Chron will roll a slugger and take the lead when they bout to dip
Let the hate proceed
Cause he found a vent trace
The team cause the sound
I guess they can see that we bout to shift
Spar regardless
Shawty set in stone
But tryna carve the hardest
Bars retarded
Had to quit my job
To take my art the furthest
Penetrating domes because
We built the hardest
Mars departed
Need a place to zone but
I know heaven guarded
Open mic the bar
Was carding smoke
At night the stars is awesome
Couldn't wait for seven artists
Lost ya balance
Hard to be as frosty
He don't cost amounts
Bet they over drafted
On the floss before the false account
Pass impatient
Niggas sound the same
I guess the bags to blame
Tag a lame
For bragging when it's nothing
In the bag but change
Rap a game
I could go off top
And kill like half these lames
You can learn a lot
From using half ya brain
Pass the flame

Line by Line Meaning
Light the spliff up
Initiate the act of smoking a spliff, a joint rolled with both tobacco and marijuana
Hike ya kicks up
Elevate yourself and move forward with a confident stride
Niggas spilling like we throwing dice
Individuals are around carelessly causing commotion, much like in a gambling setting
Decisive when we strike with fists bruh
Our actions are deliberate and forceful when engaging physically
Shit enticing like the darkest vices
Actions and behaviors are tempting in a way similar to that of immoral indulgences
You either bark or bite
You must either speak loudly to assert yourself or take action to prove your worth
Carving up the sky just like an Arkham night
Tearing through the sky as one does in a chaotic, dark night in a fictional setting
Partners in disguise fully
Collaborators who are entirely concealed beneath another persona
Potent where the arc colliding
The strength and power are manifested at the point of collision
Sinai the potion no smoke & mirrors
The potion is straightforward and authentic, not clouded by illusions
Multiply an opus let the culture steer it
Create art that resonates with many and allow the prevailing culture to guide its direction
Vultures grow to fear us
Those who prey on others become afraid of us
The flight taking off
A journey commencing and starting to gain momentum
We lasers through the fog
We cut through confusion and uncertainty with precision
Augmented by the vapors blow it out the nasal angels sing
Enhanced and inspired by the smoke exhaled, creating a heavenly sensation
Mental sew a testament
Sewing together thoughts and ideas to create a lasting statement
Rest my eyes
Taking a moment to relax and let the eyes recover
Most high behind me like the vestiges
A powerful force stands with me like a remnant of a glorious past
Vibrant when the moon shift
Energetic and alive when the moon's position changes

Last night I dreamt of a fox, outside on the other side of a wire fence.
The fence was made of three wires horizontally going across attached to steaks in the ground, what you see on an outback ranch. Running before the fence was a trench filled with water. I slipped in the trench with one leg, and that's when the fox appeared it bared its teeth and it opened its mouth snarling. I saw it had many rows of teeth like sharp raised shards of silver. I instantly grabbed at the the wire fence and pulled off one of the wires from the lowest rung as I backed away to get up so I could stand up. As I'm on my feet the fox came through the fence snarling at me getting closer. I begin to fend it off with the wire in my hand using it like a whip. Several times this goes on for before it grabbed hold of the end of the wire whip with its teeth, but I pull hard and now it's in the trench it can't swim and begins drowning. I'm trying with all my strength to keep it under so it drowns. I notice a green frog is also holding onto the wire just above the foxes head in the water and just before the fox is drowned it let's go of the end of the wire whip, it gets out of the trench and begins to run off in the direction it first appeared to come from. I don't take my eyes off it but I see a riffle floating in mid air and I grab the riffle and start to chase the fox down, as I'm running towards I take aim and shoot at it, it goes limp and it's made dead.
So whatever, whom ever that crafty fox was trying to do over my life it is not going to happen. I've prayed the prayers, and by faith I declare victory in Yeshuas name. I shall overcome. Thank you for this because it helped me understand, God bless.

I understand why the fox bit me because I was being just like the fox and not being my authentic self I thought it was people around me was trying to get me but they was just trying to help me but I realised that what I am who am that dream was awake up call. Thank god and Jesus for helping me to understand what was wrong with me and for the guidance to help become who I really am.

I had a dream about a fox with one leg, I felt sorry for it but was of afraid to approach it

Thanks! I had a dream that I killed fox last night but after I hurt it, I was a dog? I don't know what that means? It did not try to fight me and afterwards I felt horrible about it. I am asking God for interpretation but praying these prayers of protection. Maybe the enemy is trying to deceive me?
