Album:
- "Large
Afternoon" (2000) - After 25 years, it's great to see Greenslade
back with a new album on Mystic
Records of all new material penned by keyboardist Dave Greenslade. True to form of
the original version of the band, there are no guitars (other than bass)
on this album, although you'll swear you hear them in a couple of places...it
must be those keyboard guys!. This new album contains 9 songs, and
is a mix of instrumental and vocal tracks (5 instrumentals and 4 vocals)...total
playing time is about 47 minutes. The CD cover is very attractive and
reminiscent of Greenslade's cover-artwork from the 1970s. Lyrics
are provided for the vocal tracks. Musicianship is superb throughout,
with the lush keyboards from Dave Greenslade
and tasteful bass-playing by Tony Reeves being particularly outstanding...and
percussion work from Chris Cozens is solid. The vocal tracks
from second keyboardist John Young are well done, and there are no
throwaway cuts. But my favorite tracks are the beautiful, well-crafted
instrumentals that draw you in and let you float for a while. Very,
very nice.

Pentateuch Of Cosmogony" (1979)

South" (1999)
