They keep their songs tight for the most part, there’s some splendid keyboard work on occasion, although the driving force behind First Meeting is clearly the prominent brass section, providing the aforementioned jazz influence. ‘Alibi Annie’ kicks things into touch with a pleasing funk groove that belies the band’s earlier incarnation as a soul-influenced unit. Here, in particular, the Hammond (?) organ weaves a magical spell, its mellifluous intricacies provided by the silvery fingers of Alan Fealdman. ‘Is It Loud?’, a purely instrumental track,is definitely a highlight--showing the band's instrumental abilities, is another instance where his piano and keyboard wizardry is allowed to the fore, egged on by a rattling blend of trumpets and sax or version of Manfred Mann Chapter Three’s ‘One Way Glass’, which appeared on the excellent Cave of Clear Light box-set. , I don’t know, but for me, it remains the best track here. The keyboards may take a backseat, but this is more than compensated for by the driving bassline, the captivating horns, an occasional burst of psychedelic guitar and the somewhat trippy lyrics that lend an otherworldly, laidback ambience to the proceedings. The high points make it a worthwhile listen, as does Fealdman’s stint on all things keyboard, and it chugs along nicely without ever asking too much of the listener or threatening to wear down its higher gears.<br /><br />Thx Marios!adamus67https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035959023698485029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379959197726431640.post-34435811896174057582012-10-21T05:47:25.249+03:002012-10-21T05:47:25.249+03:00Such a very fine jazzrock album, one of my very fa...Such a very fine jazzrock album, one of my very favorites that I've ever heard!
