The End Of The Game
( Simply the BEST instrumental guitar album of all time. Review written by William Donelson from London, UK, January 5th, 2005 This extraordinary concept album presents a guitar genius, Peter Green, at the height of his powers. His composition is flawlessly realised by a band comprising himself on guitar, Zoot Money on grand piano, Godfrey MacLean on percussion, Nick Buck on electric keyboards, and Alex Dmochowski on bass guitar. I first heard a tiny part of the last track on this album as the closing of a radio news programme every day when I was a 17-year old student in Washington DC in the spring of 1970. I searched for three years to discover, in great surprise, that it was the work of one of my already favourite guitarists, Peter Green, founder of Fleetwood Mac. The album present a big cat, probably a cheetah, in the jungle and veldt of Africa during a day in his life. The cat runs, chases prey, contemplates a still pool of water, a hunter's camp, and settles down to the end of the day, and the end of his life. If you've never heard this album before, prepare yourself for a transcendent experience. | |
