GOING SOUTH

This CD was originally released by Mystic in 1999 when it was credited to Dave Greenslade, not Greenslade the band (which is how it is stated on the Angel Air 2004 reissue). I think if anyone approached this thinking that they were going to discover some of the presence of that great outfit then they will be sadly disappointed. It was only when thinking about the title that it got me thinking and I looked through some old issues and lo and behold discovered that I reviewed this album in #56. I pretty much damned it then, and hearing it again years later hasn't done much to change my mind. This is an ambient New Age album from a keyboard player who has produced some stunning work in the past, both with Greenslade and with Colosseum, but this isn't it. Angel Air have some live Greenslade albums available and they are both much better than this which can only ever be viewed as background music.
