Comments for Sneddon, Greg, Mind Stroll

An interesting art/progressive rock suite, built around keyboard (predominantly piano) based songs and instrumental pieces. Sneddon has had the good sense to balance his own vocals with those of Dayle Alison (particularly on the fine single "Take It Slow and Easy," and also by featuring long instrumental interludes, including some lead guitar. In places it gets a bit indulgent, but there is a pleasant, gentle, late night feeling to the whole thing, with plenty of style and time changes, ranging from classical to jazz to rock. (Ian Thomas)

The Japanese bootleg label, "Poor House," has issued a strange CD version, that sounds as if taken from the LP, with some harshness in the top end, featuring an odd shiny photographed slip-case cover. This is a sure sign that Mushroom should be issuing it on CD now! With their "Mid-Price Masters" series (which started in 1997, I think) they have already issued such Australian progressivish classics as Madder Lake''s "Stillpoint," so there''s hope.

Greg Sneddon: Keyboards (pianos, organ, mellotron, etc.), percussion & vocals. Dayle Alison: Vocals, lead vocal on "Take It Slow and Easy", percussion. Phil Butson: Guitars. Jerry H.
