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."
