All compositions by Tony Marsh, Marcio Mattos, Brian Godding, Chris Biscoe
Recorded by Ted Taylor at Porcupine Studios direct to digital stereo on 3rd November 1990 (1-4)
Recorded by Dave Bernez at Exeter and Devon Arts Centre on 4th December 1993; mixed 23rd January 1994 (5-7)
All tracks produced by Full Monte
Front cover pastel drawing by Tony Marsh
Artwork by Don Godding
This record contains both live and studio recordings. We open with four studio tracks engineered by the late Ted Taylor, pianist, singer and musical veteran of the Benny Hill show. He mixed the band straight down to digital tape, remarked "This would make marvellous music for a horror movie", and created a bright, spontaneous sound. Dave Bernez recorded us in concert on a multi-track recorder, and tracks 5,6 and 7 are part of the material he later mixed to DAT. - Chris Biscoe
Simon Adams - Jazz Journal:
The four members of Full Monte - ex-pats from various Mike Westbrook bands - are catholic in their musical tastes, encompassing everything from free improvisation through orthodox swing to jazz rock. They are also remarkably democratic in performance, equal contributors to the work in hand. What results is very engaging. The title track is impressionistic and sparky, the guitar synth of Brian Godding well integrated into the whole as it sends out abrupt chiming runs to disturb the even flow. Mattos’s double bass is heard to good effect on Lift Life, while Biscoe is both fluent and mercurial in performance, his contributions always surprising in the directions they take. With Tony Marsh ever inventive, the four turn in a set that, while rigorously uncommercial in appeal, is nonetheless highly enjoyable, a timely reminder that sparks can fly from every direction.
Barry Witherden The Wire June 1994:
The members of Full Monte have covered many musical waterfronts in their careers. On Spark in the Dark, the flotsam, jetsam and treasure troves they have collected over the years are forged into a constantly engaging set of open ended improvisation, ranging from abstract impressionism to melted down riffs, and there is never a dull moment. I have heard Biscoe in a number of contexts, making distinguished contributions to groups led by Mike Westbrook, Chris McGregor, George Russell and Andy Sheppard, but I don’t think he has ever been heard to better advantage than here. Not that his playing, excellent though it is, dominates: this is group music and each member of the quartet plays intensely and listens intently, creating an album crammed with demanding but rewarding improvisation.

Brian Godding: Roland GR50 guitar synth, Yamaha sound sources
Tony Marsh: drums and cymbals (except 1)
Marcio Mattos: double bass
Chris Biscoe: alto sax (1,2,3), soprano sax (1,4,5), alto clarinet (1,4,6)
