FREEZE FRAME

Hard to be too critical on Godley and Creme when overall they always were the more risk taking of the 10cc outfit of Godley, Creme, Stewart and Gouldman. Whilst the latter two members always stuck to successful formulae and engineered a hugely effective band throughout the 70's, the Godly Creme unison were always champing at the bit the break barriers, take risks and even at the expense of pissing off their other two 10cc members broke with tradition and ultimately the band to forge ahead. They were also the forerunners of dimensional video songs which had that early 80's stamp of 'dated' approval.

Freeze Frame is a distinctly good album, yes references to the old 10cc output but nevertheless a great album on all counts. Creme for me the best vocalist out of the 10cc stable. There is no debate as to Godley and Creme's contributions to the best Prog related era and equally they left their other band members behind when embarking on a new direction. Freeze Frame endorses this point.
