SLOW MOTION

By the time of the release of Slow Motion, Man was riding high on the succsess of Winos Rhinos and Lunatics. By now a quartet, they followed the previous album guidelines and concentrated on well crafted shorter tunes. The opener A Hard Way to Die, one of the best songs they ever made, is followed by Grasshopper. A beautiful and orchstrated classic that is a showcase for Deke Leonards abilities. The rest of the album is sometimes close to rock n roll by Man standards and it really swings! Not a record for anyone looking for long improvisations though, but a real pleasure since it is packed with everything Man is about - exemplary musicanship, fine interplaying and extraordinary singing. Enjoy!
