GREENSLADE

When I bought this album way back in 1973 I could hardly wait to put the record on my turntable to hear these two former Colosseum members; the names of Dave Lawson and Andy McCulloch have even additionally spur up the tension; two great keyboard players, bass virtuoso and Crimson reputation drummer - I thought it simply had to be great music! But it turned out to be a real disappointment musical output I heard. The only track which had justified my expectations was 'Melange'. Afterwards, I would regularly buy every subsequent release and eventually I've concluded that the whole Greenslade 1973-1975 opus had been very balanced mediocre work. In that context, this debut album seems to me to be their best one.
