Trapeze

This Myspace fan site is dedicated to those who grew up with and still love the band Trapeze.



"Not only is Medusa the finest offering from '70s outfit Trapeze, it is

one of the decade's most underappreciated hard rock recordings. With a lineup

that consisted of future Deep

Purple, Judas

Priest, and Black

Sabbath members, there seems to be proof that at least a few fellow

musicians appreciated this 1971 offering. Fans of his later work might be

surprised by Glenn Hughes' soulful vocal delivery, especially on the mid-tempo

blues-rockers like "Black Cloud" and "Your Love Is Alright."

Guitarist Mel Galley also deserves mention for his sparse approach to classic

rock riffing that is catchy and affective. Even the ballads are focused,

memorable, and unique. There are some melodic moments on the closing title track

that sound almost as if a '90s alt-rock crooner composed them. Considering that

Medusa predates many similar, and more successful, classic rock LPs from the likes of Bad Company, Nazareth ,

Foreigner, and

others, it's a wonder that the record isn't mentioned more when influential

albums of this era are discussed."
