专辑简介

If yours truly can still place Finch’s first two albums upon the same shelf (the ones in my living room), it must be said that the group’s last album didn’t make it for a long time, eventually finding the exchange outdoor. Indeed much had changed by the release of Galleons of Passion, not the least, a major line-up change seeing keyboardist Determeyer and drummer Klaase leaving, replaced respectively by Wammes and Bosboom (forest tree). Not only does that smell potential trouble, but the atrocious artwork (who picked the colours??) confirms it.

The balance of the group is altered and this might be to the profit of bassist Peter Vink, whose Rickenbacker bass, so used to be inspired by Chris Squire is actually let loose in this album. But strangely enough if Determayer’s keyboards gave a very apt response to Joop’s guitar in previous album, I always thought of the keyboards being slightly buried, but here the newcomer’s keys are maybe too loud and even at Joop’s expense. On this album the sound has drifted between Yes and a lesser-era Camel (no attack intended)
