| | Slow Dance CD Anthony Phillips Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
1989's Slow Dance is an ambitious two part orchestral rock suite which is Phillips' at his best - a must.
Mike Oldfield, watch out. This all-instrumental album, consisting of two long pieces ("Slow Dance Parts 1 and 2") that mix new age sounds with rock, crosses into territory staked out most successfully by the tubular bell-ringer, and comes off as sort of Windham Hill with a beat. This material features clarinet, oboe, flute, trumpet, harp, and percussion as well as guitar, and it does sort of resemble the spacy synthesizer interludes and bridges found as parts of the longer pieces on Genesis's progressive-era albums. It isn't as vacuous as mere "ambient" sound, and some of the shifts in beat and tone are bracing and surprising, but Slow Dance also takes a long time to get where it's going. ~ Bruce Eder
Personnel: Julia Allis (harp); Michael Cox (flute, piccolo); Martin Robertson (clarinet); Ian Hardwick (oboe); Tjborn Holtmark (trumpet); Ian Thomas (drums); Frank Racotti (percussion).

| | Renaissance Song For All Seasons CD (2005)
Slow Dance CD music
$9.05 
Three members of the classic Renaissance lineup, Annie Haslam, Michael Dunford, and Terence Sullivan, reunited in a sextet lineup -- filled out by Rave Tesar on piano and other keyboards, Mickey Simmonds on keyboards and vocals, and David Keyes on bass and vocals -- for a 2001 tour of Japan that yielded this 105-minute concert recording In the Land of the Rising Sun: Live in Concert. Haslam's voice is still in excellent shape, to judge by the results, hitting those high notes well, if not with quite the same power than she did in the '70s. The repertory encompasses both older and newer songs, from the Ashes Are Burning album all the way up thru the group's 21st century work, such as "Lady from Tuscany." The presence of two keyboard players, coupled with Haslam's vocal instrument, gives the group a vast melodic range, and fans will almost certainly be thrilled with the sonic textures and the sheer range of sounds generated by the group -- there seem to be genuine orchestral timbres here on "Opening Out" and other numbers, and there's also room for Dunford's acoustic guitar to be heard well on "Carpet of the Sun," and "Midas Man," among others. ~ Bruce Eder

| | Yes Close To The Edge CD (1972) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Slow Dance music CDs
$8.75 
One of the high-water marks of progressive rock (and thus of 1970s rock in general), CLOSE TO THE EDGE found British prog godfathers Yes firing on all cylinders. Throughout their history, they've undergone numerous lineup changes, but this album featured the "classic" formation responsible for their absolute finest achievements. Here Rick Wakeman is at his Moog-goes-Baroque best behind the keyboards, Steve Howe sounds like a blues guitarist from Mars, Chris Squire delivers confoundingly contrapuntal bass lines, and Bill Bruford seemingly ...
| | Yes Relayer CD (1974) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Slow Dance songs
$8.69
Recorded in 1974. Originally released on Atlantic (18122). Includes liner notes by Doug Gottlieb, Glenn Gottlieb.
Carnivorous, alcohol-loving Rick Wakeman was always at odds with the health-food mindset of the other Yes members, though his brash pomp was at the heart of their sound. When he was replaced by Patrick Moraz (late of '70s prog obscurites Refugee and Mainhorse), it freed the band up to dive headlong into the ethereal, spiritually oriented themes that had always been Jon Anderson's stock in trade. Thus, RELAYER consists of three extended cuts (the 22-minute "Gates of Delirium" was once jokingly assessed as the reason punk became necessary). Even on the inside cover's band photo, the Yes boys look like they're in the middle of a prayer meeting. The elaborately structured arrangements take the band's loftier side to previously unreachable heights (even compared to TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS). However, it's all done so skillfully (with much credit going to Moraz) that RELAYER draws you in to its complex sonic web and fully captivates you.
First things first. It's unlikely that this remaster will convert anyone who ...
| | Legend CD (2007) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak
Slow Dance album
$16.59
In some circles, Mickey Jupp is something of a minor legend, a roots rocker with excellent taste and a cutting wit, best heard on the songs "Switchboard Susan" and "You'll Never Get Me Up in One of Those," both covered by Nick Lowe. Basher's endorsement is a clear indication that Jupp is a pub rocker, a guy who specializes in laid-back good times, so it shouldn't come as a great surprise that his first band, Legend, was proto-pub, an unabashed celebration of old-time rock & roll, filled with three-chord Chuck Berry rockers and doo wop backing vocals. Nevertheless, listening to their 1970 LP is a bit of a shock, as it's completely disassociated with anything that was happening in 1970, even with Tony Visconti enlisted as their producer. Legend's sensibility is ahead of its time in its retro thinking, pointing the way to the rock & roll revival of the late '70s and not even that similar to the country-rock ...
