The Twang Dynasty


The Twang Dynasty is the tenth studio album by the Welsh psychedelic/progressive rock band Man, but the first to be released after their reformation in 1983.
Man had recorded an album of new material in Germany, the year they reformed, but fell out with the producer, who was also the album’s promoter, so the album was never issued. The Twang Dynasty was recorded over two weeks in August and two weeks in September 1992, and released on 14 November 1992, sixteen years after their previous studio album.
The album includes the track "Fast and Dangerous" which was used on trailers for Paul Whitehouse’s Fast Show, although the band were not paid for this.
In 2011 Deke Leonard reused the name for his book The Twang Dynasty .
