Greenslade - Large Afternoon (2000)

The absence of guitars in Greenslade makes them sound a bit different than the average band. Although the presence of two keyboard players could have resulted in some thrilling keyboard duels, the band have clearly opted for a more laid-back approach. More than half of the CD, five out of nine tracks, is instrumental and it is this half which is most proggy. The instrumental tracks basically sound like a cross between fusion and seventies prog and they contain some very nice melodies. Of all five instrumental tracks on the album, Cakewalk is clearly my favourite, because of its driving rhythm, interesting bass lines and a great variety of lovely keyboard sounds The four songs that feature lyrics remind me very much of various tracks by well-known "popular" artists like Chris Rea. Hallelujah Anyway can even be regarded as gospel prog , while the equally long track On Suite comes closest to what most people would consider prog. Young's voice has a pleasant, warm timbre, but does not display very much emotion. Before I bought Large Afternoon, I had only heard one album: Bedside Manners are extra, which I like very much . So, did this last album make me curious about their other releases? Well, I have to say, no!. There are some very nice moments to be found on Large Afternoon, but it is all a bit too sedate for me. However, I am sure that this CD would be very nice to play as background music in a quiet setting near the open fireplace. (amazon)
