Grey Lady Down biography
In 1992, vocalist Martin Wilson, keyboard player Louis David, and guitarist Julian Hunt were in a band called Shadowland. When bass player Sean Speer, and drummer Mark Robotham joined, they realized there was another band using the Shadowland name. Not wanting to run into this problem again, they chose to name themselves after an obscure 1978 movie, starring Charlton Heston, and a pre-Superman Christopher Reeve. Thus GREY LADY DOWN was born.

They became well known around Oxford, and even distributed large numbers of demo tapes to far corners of the world. This led to them Phoenix Studios in 1993. The seven songs that were recorded would become the makeup of their debut album. A rigorous tour, and a performance at the Marquee Club, resulted in signing a two-album deal with Griffin/Cyclops. The Phoenix recordings were released as "The Crime" in early 1994. The supporting tour had GREY LADY DOWN opening for such acts as Jadis, and The Enid. The live shows were very well received, and the year ended with The Classic Rock Society awarding them with the "Best New Band" title, and "The Crime" taking third place in the "Best New Album" category.

With new material having been written during the previous year, the band entered The Warehouse studio in 1995. "Forces," produced by Tim Turan, was released in June. Many critics were pleased with the sophomore effort as well. Wonderous Stories even awarded it a 6 out of 6. More accolades followed. GREY LADY DOWN came in fourth for 'Best Band,' and second for 'Best Album,' in the Classic Rock Society rankings. They were also Cyclops' best selling act. The performance at The Marquee club was also one of the most successful by a non-mainstream band. This led to a Christmas show at the Astoria Theatre. Unfortunately, this was also Louis David's last appearance.

Mark Westworth was brought in to fill the keyboard slot, and the band prepared to tour Europe, and the U.S. in 1996. Before hitting the States, Julian Hunt had to leave due to personal issues. Sphere's Steve Anderson was brought in as a temporary replacement, but it ended up a permanent assignment. This would be the lineup for 1997's "Fear," again produced by Tim Turan. Technically, their contract with Cyclops had already been fulfilled. However, they were Cyclops' biggest seller, so keeping them on the label was a no-brainer. The reviews for "Fear" were again positive, and the supporting tour had them playing with Mastermind, and Ars Nova.

The reviews for "Fear" were again positive, and the supporting tour had them playing with Mastermind, and Ars Nova. After a break, they hit the road again. This time, sharing the stage with Timothy Pure, and Saga.

All was going very well, but this is a story about a band. In 1998, Steve Anderson had to quit because of an ear problem. Julian Hunt briefly returned, but the other band members were now succumbing to pressures. By March, GREY LADY DOWN had decided to hang it up. They did one last big show at the Astoria in July. It was recorded, and released as "The Time of Our Lives."

As in most band stories, after the breakup, there is always the chance of reunion. Mark and Julian ran into each other, and talked about putting a band together. They inevitably involved Sean Speer and Martin Wilson. Oddly, they were initially calling themselves Trinity (it was the same band after all). Obviously, the music was sounding like GREY LADY DOWN, so they went back to the original name. Phil Millichamp was brought in as the new drummer, and in 2001 "Star-Crossed" was released. This was the last thing released by the band, but there is no reason to assume that the story has ended.

Прекрасная группа из Великобритании напоминающая три первых диска Marillion. Первая группа на проглэйбле Cyclops.В отличии от многих неогрупп GLD сразу же завоевали симпатии слушателей по всему миру. Одна из самых продаваемых проггрупп на сегодняшний день. У нас GLD практически никто не знает - пиратские руки не добрались до них. Однозначно рекомендуется всем кто не равнодушен к первым трём альбомам Marillion. Следует заметить, что вокал Вилсона не так хорош, как хотелось бы (напоминает Саговский). Но музыка вне всякой критики. Столько душевности, трагизма и грусти пожалуй нет ни в Marillion (разве что во второй части Script for a jesters tear &Forgotten Songs) ни в Genesis( может бытьUndertow и окончание Musical Box)Конечно GLD не так завёрнуты как некоторые представители арт-рока. Но неужели так сложны Marillion? Многие критики обвиняют ГЛД в плагиате и вторичности. Пусть это будет на их совести.

GLD сформированы в 1992г, ранее они выступали под именем Shadowland. Но вездесущий Клайв Нолан (Arena, Pendragon) умудрился первым забить себе это имя.

REY LADY DAWN "Star-Crossed@ ©2001
Ура! Наконец то мне удалось достать этот диск. Помощь в приобретении оказал Сам Martin Wilson. Большое ему спасибо. И так о диске. Это самый навороченный и сложный диск. Частая смена ритмов, синкопирование, чередование новых мелодий всё это нам знакомо по предыдущим ЗАМЕЧАТЕЛЬНЫМ дискам. Замена барабанщика заметно пошла на пользу группе. С первых аккордов слышен фирменный саунд GLD. Первая вещь напоминает лучшие композиции с первых двух альбомов. Во второй песне ВПЕРВЫЕ слышен меллотрон, и она совершенно не похожа на GLD. 3я вещь возвращает нас к прекрасному диску Crime(1994) настроение, звук, эмоции… всё это с Crime. 4я песня Fallen АБСОЛЮТНЫЙ ШЕДЕВР, композиция почти на 14 минут. В лучших традициях опять же Crime. Очень заметен возросший уровень музыкантов. Ещё нужно заметить что на гитаре играет Julian Hunt(если кто не знает, сообщаю: он был на первых двух дисках GLG, которые считаются лучшими в дискографии группы) прослушивание этого альбома доставило кучу прекрасных моментов. Ну а fallen это 14 минут сплошного НАСЛАЖДЕНИЯ. Не хотелось бы говорить о критиках, которые упрекают GLD в плагиате (якобы GLD ворует у Marillion) , вторичности, отсутствии оригинальности, излишней слащавости. Уж как я люблю ранний Marillion. Но вынужден признать, что GLD обогнали их по всем параметрам. А по сложности исполнения во много, много, много раз!!!!
И ещё должен сказать, что все диски этой замечательной группы, подлинной СУПЕРЗВЕЗДЫ современного арт рока достойны (как говорит мой товарищ Виталий Меньшиков, но к сожалению не о GLD) , быть вписаны ЗОЛОТЫМИ БУКВАМИ в историю артрока.
И самым большим разочарованием и потрясением для меня было известие о том, что группа уже не существует. Для меня это сравнимо по значимости с распадом моих любимых GENESIS!!
Оценка 11 из 12
В марте 2002 года создана новая группа Eden в составе трёх музыкантов из GLD
Julian Hunt: Guitars and Keyboards
Martin Wilson: Vocals
Phill Millichamp: Drums
А так же новых музыкантов
Adrian Dunn: Guitars
Pete Larrett: Bass guitars
По словам Мартина Вилсона преобладающим инструментом в этой группе будет гитара и стиль игры будет схожим с Dream Theatre и Creed. Это меня больше всего и беспокоит.
Вот что пишет сам Мартин Вилсон: «из пепла GLD …. Я приведу вас в РАЙ» Если бы!!
