SLEEPERS

For those GALAfans out there I need not say any more than "Sleepers" to summon a cheer, but for the uninitiated let me elaborate on this excellent recording. After several excellent recordings GALAHAD hit their most creative in "Sleepers" which combines the mysticism GENESIS captured back in the early 70's and the sheer power in early MARILLION. Don't worry my friend, "Sleepers" has its own character all the way through but is greatly rooted in the progressive genre. Songs range from the complex and powerful opening track "Sleepers" to the humorous ditty the "Dentist Song" which is also one of the standout tracks on this album for me. Stuart Nicholson's vocals are at the height of his career and combines with the musical strength of this band, we are treated to a stunning display of sheer talent, power and creativity. "Sleepers" would be one of the top prog releases of 1995 in my opinion.
