STILL LIFE

The first of the many name clones who would use this distinguished album title. The absence of the guitar on most of the tracks is not a bad thing per se, as the upbeat drums and multifaceted organ lines carry the rest of the music well. There's also a choir like presence in one of the tracks, but most of the songs range from a hard rock sound to a laid back presence with the organ overtones.

While not exactly being distinguished or noticeably captivating, Still Life is still a pleasant little record. Some of the lyrics are a bit on the yawner side, but throughout the organ always provides a nice contrast. The comparisons others have made to other well known bands are apt, but this band/album appears to have influenced others more than might be expected at first glance. Not near as good as other albums bearing the same name, but still quite good and very much enjoyable.
