* 음악세계/기획특집/앨범가이드/The Enid

영국의 왕립음악원(Rayal Academy)에서 드뷔시에 심취해있던 "Robert John Godfrey"의 프로젝트이다. 

Robert는 기타리스트 "스티븐 스튜어트"와 타악기주자 "후랜시스리커리쉬"와 함께 1974년에 The Enid를 트리오 프로젝트로 출범시킨다. 2년간의 작품구상과 조율 끝에 76년 데뷔앨범을 발표함과 동시에 전설적인 Reading Festival (영국의 우드스탁/매년 8월)에 출연 새로운 음악세계를 선보여 신선한 충격을 주었다. 1985년엔 브리티쉬투어로 무려 156회의 공연을 치루며 평론가들로부터 "아트록"이라는 용어를 처음 얻어냈으며 처음으로 LP시대에서 CD로 "The Fand"(7집)를 발매하였다.
