Our Take
Our Take
GREENSLADE At The BBC is a delightful showcase of the band's talents on the stage. From the moment the first note hits your ears, you know you're in for a wild ride of prog-rock goodness. Think Yes meets Emerson, Lake & Palmer, with a sprinkle of their own unique flair.
The album kicks off with 'Feathered Friends,' a mystical journey through intricate time signatures and mind-bending key changes. Dave Greenslade's keyboards take center stage, weaving a tapestry of sound that is equal parts mesmerizing and exhilarating.
Tracks like 'Tango' showcase the band's diverse influences, blending Latin rhythms with prog-rock sensibilities to create a truly infectious groove. And let's not forget about 'Mélange,' a beautiful piano-driven ballad that showcases the band's softer side.
But the real standout moment of the album comes with the epic 'Sunset.' Clocking in at over 10 minutes, this track is a tour de force of musical virtuosity. From the soaring guitar solos to the thunderous drum fills, every member of the band gets a chance to shine.
Overall, GREENSLADE At The BBC is a must-listen for any fan of classic prog-rock. It's a testament to the band's incredible talent and a reminder of why they were such a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. So sit back, relax, and let Greenslade take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
