Since The Release Of His First Tune "Oscar Automobile" In 1979 Roland Has Been Spinning His Tales Against A Backdrop Of Gothic Rock Psychedelic Pop Folk And Occasionally Baroque Strings. Roland Described As "the Male Kate Bush" By One-Time Label Mate Robyn Hitchcock Has Released A Series Of Albums For Collectable Labels Such As Bam Caruso New Rose And Imaginary In A Low-Key Career That Has Seen Him Acclaimed On The Continent But Somewhat Ignored In His Native Country. In England He Is Better Known As A Writer Of Mass Market Books On Mysticism And The Occult For Major Publishers. However His Reputation As A Uniquely Imaginative And Consistently Fascinating Figure On The Psych-Pop Circuit Has Substantially Increased With Each Album.
