Multi-instrumentalist from Australia, made one album "Mind Stroll", track listing is on rym here. Now, rym says the year of release is 1975, but the back cover says it was recorded and mixed in 1974 September and October in Sydney, doesn't say anything about the release date, throughout the net both years 1974 and 1975 are mentioned as being the release years so I'm not completely sure.

-Greg Sneddon / accoustic piano, Hammond B3, ARP Pro Synthesizer, mellotron, hohner clavinet, spinnet, fender rhodes, percussion instruments, vocals, 2 handed plectrum
-Dayle Alison / vocals,percussion
-Phil Buston / guitars

	I'll be out of Lima for some days, at least until my birthday next August 2 Check everything when i'M BACK. But my vote for Greg Sneddon is no, sounds more like Crossover. Thanks Iván

	'Madman' is like VDGG meets ELP. spacey stuff here and there and lots of pitchy harmonies and keyboards 'Mind stroll' has nice piano solos and a weird vibe with spacey swirls and key pads, and Narrated vocals. Like Mike Oldfield meets Genesis. Gabriel vocals and some electric guitar leads, and a cool synth break - symphonic blended with crossover. Take It slow and Easy - crossover - organ sustained and measured tempo. High pitched vocals, sounds like 70s pop. A spell of Destruction - tons of keyboards and not as prog as other songs here. More of a crossover sound at first but builds with vocals. A 70s pop vibe and high vocals like Yes. Greg Sneddon bordering on Symp or Crossover. There is a lot of keyboard work throughout but the style is unlike symphonic at times, but it has symphonic passages of music. It could be ranked in symphonic if the music stuck to one style but it is all over the place. So unsure with this - it could be either Crossover or Symphonic

	Considered too light for Symphonic, so added to Crossover chart for evaluation: http://progfreak.com/Greg-Sneddon-155089.html?path=pa/crossover_prog, and an easy 'yes' from me. Here's the whole album in one sitting:
