This is great. Dave Greenslade and co ditch the idea of having a guitar player and instead, opt for a twin keyboard attack consisting of dovetailing electric pianos and hammond organs, with added mellotron for texture and Chris Squire-esque bass playing, all hammered home with tight drumming.

Highlights are the opening track, 'Feathered Friends' and the more instrumental based tracks, such as 'An English Western', 'Melange' and the stunning closing track, 'Sundance'.

The music here is so uptempo and colourful, you don't really notice, let alone care about the absence of a guitar player; but if you're a prog fan why would you? Emerson, Lake and Palmer nevered bothered too much with guitar, nor did Van Der Graaf Generator or Rick Wakeman. In fact, the musical approach on 'Greenslade' has much in common with Wakeman's 'Six Wives of Henry VIII' album. It's a good slice of direct, keyboard driven rock. Ok, the vocal passages, which are dotted throughout the album aren't particularly inspired, but to be fair, this album isn't about vocals. What we have here, is a band of gifted musicians having an absolute blast in the studio and delivering some entertaining, unfussy, unpretentious progressive music that really puts a smile on the face. Throw in an awesome Roger Dean sleeve for good measure and you're good to go.

This is bloomin' marvellous stuff. Give it a whirl. Amazon-Kunde
