With its second and final album, Visitors, Automatic Man unveiled a new lineup. Lead singer/keyboardist Bayeté (real name: Todd Cochrane) and guitarist Pat Thrall were still on board, but bassist Doni Harvey and former Santana drummer Michael Shrieve were gone-and their replacements were bassist Jerome Rimson and drummer Glenn Symmonds. The Bay Area quartet was still interracial (half white, half black), but with the personnel changes came a more commercial approach. While Automatic Man's self-titled debut album of 1976 was an uncompromising, fairly abstract effort that had to be accepted on its own terms, Visitors finds the band making its progressive rock/space rock funkier and more accessible. Automatic Man definitely increased the funk/soul factor on this LP, and tunes like "Daughter of Neptune" and "Give It to Me" have an immediacy and a directness that the first album lacked. This isn't to say that Visitors is a better album; Automatic Man was the more creative and risk-taking of the two, although Visitors is generally likable. Nonetheless, Visitors wasn't the commercial breakthrough that Automatic Man was hoping for-and regrettably, the band broke up after this album. ~ Alex Henderson

Following on from the previous success of the band's debut album re-released by Lemon last year, we are proud to bring you `Visitors' which has been unavailable for almost 30 years! Automatic Man's blend of funk, fusion and classic rock is perfectly executed on this uplifting 8 track record. Previously unavailable on CD, this remastered edition also contains all original artwork plus bonus sleevenotes!

VISITORS is a 1977 album by the rock band Automatic Man.

Personnel: Pat Thrall (vocals, guitar); Todd Cochrane (vocals, keyboards); Glenn Symmonds (drums).

Liner Note Author: Michael Heatley.

Recording information: Cherokee Studios, Los Angeles, CA.

3 stars The Band Automatic Man/Bayeté (Todd Cochran)
What people do not know is that the band was founded by "Bayeté (Todd Cochran)" And Michael Shrieve. And all of this music was composed by Bayeté (Todd Cochran), who is one of the most unique and gifted Keyboardist Composers of our time. After Automatic Man Bayete Joined The Peter Gabriel and recorded the 1st LP titled "Peter Gabriel" /Also The Band Called "GO" Wth Japan Percussionist "Stomu Yamasta" and "Steve Winwood". Bayeté (Todd Cochran) was one of the only African American Keyboard Players to play in a rock bands in the 70's. The only other I can think of was "George Duke" who worked with "Frank Zapa" Bayete and his songs where the soul of Automatic Man Todd & Pat play Call and Answer as true Blues Men.

3 stars Visitors Reissued Too, Eh?
Visitors wasn't as fully realised as AM's first LP, but it's still worthwhile for the great, if brief, playing on tracks 5-7. The rest - eh - makes it seem more like a perfunctory "contractual obligation" record. AM disbanded shortly after this. Too bad Fate is often cruel - AM would've made an excellent backing band for Hendrix.
