Drowing Man by Greenslade
Song from the album "Greenslade"

This song offers the listener the chance to project themselves into the ultimate "Greenslade dimension." The first two minutes are a tribute to psychedelia. Dave Lawson kicks off the dance, accompanied by the evanescent notes of the mellotron and the calm, serene rhythm of Tony Reeves' bass. The atmosphere is undoubtedly sacred; it feels as if we're listening to an alien prayer, belonging to a civilization lost among the galaxies. It is a true psychedelic ritual with a melancholic twist. From the third minute onwards, the world will spin between the fingers of keyboardist Dave Greenslade and the skilled colleague Tony Reeves. Lush and picturesque virtuosity will guide us through the caves of introspection. Green caves, as depicted in Roger Dean's illustration printed on the vinyl cover. Drowing Man will conclude after 5:50 minutes of solemn and sacred spectacle, just as it began.
