As someone who is crazy about keyboard-driven, Symphonic Progressive Rock, of course I like Dave Greenslade and his eponymous band. Compared to usual suspects like Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson, Greenslade is more subtle and the music is lighter.

This debut album, like later albums by the group, is a bit of a mixed bag. About half of the album tracks are instrumentals, and these are the best with album closer Sundance being top notch. The vocal tracks are harder to appreciate due to the somewhat weird voice of Dave Lawson. Personally, I think that Greenslade would have been more successul as an all instrumental band.

The visual aspect should not be forgotten, with a very beutiful cover picture by the amazing Roger Dean.
