Intense energy, is how I
would describe the long awaited CD, "Wake the Sleeper". I
could not wait any longer for the US release so I ordered
from Amazon.UK. Lee Kerslake has never gotten his just due
from the American press as a drummer. Did not think Russel
Gilbrook would fit in with the rest of the band. Boy was I
wrong! From the opening song you can feel the increased
energy that he brings to the music. I think Mick Box is
truly a "Traveler in Time", as several of the songs remind
me of his guitar playing on "Demons & Wizards" as well as "Magician's
Birthday". Phil's keyboard playing also brings back
memories of the 1970's but with a 21st century flair.
Trevor keeps things together for all of them with his
outstanding bass playing. Bernie showed various vocal
styles that made each song special. Overall, the harmonies
were great, the music was excellent and Heep has returned to
the top.
