Geof Whitely Project – Dangerous Times

Dangerous Times is the latest offering, in an ever growing impressive back catalogue of accessible, progressively influenced rock, from Geof Whitely Project. The listener should not be deceived by the slight dark and foreboding artwork or the somewhat sinister song titles, such as the title track, alongside Let Sleeping Dogs Lie, Life Has Claws and Nowhere to Hide.
The music of Geoff Whitely Project continues to develop and evolve, but the constant is always the accessibility, the subtle layers of music and the often wonderfully melodic and engaging musical themes, cunningly interspersed with subtle time and mood changes. The guitar is used to great effect in this on the title track.
Cloud 9 has a wonderfully annoying, (does that make sense?), ‘ear worm’ of a keyboard riff, which quickly has you listening for more. Great layers of sound on this track and the clear, easily heard vocals add to the overall ambience.
Let Sleeping Dogs Lie will have you singing along to the ‘tag line’ before you know it. This track does have a more 80’s vibe, maybe it is the keyboard sound, but this doesn’t dominate and the overall effect is a nice ‘nod’ to the past but it retains a modern sound and feel.
Life Has Claws is rather sinister at the start, but again the layers of melody, hooks and sweeps, help the track build wonderfully, but doesn’t go ‘over bombastic’, which is a refreshing change these days. Don’t get me wrong there are enough musical twists and turns in this one, and just maybe, just maybe, a nod to a certain song where the main protagonist was ‘losing on the swings, losing on the roundabouts’, but maybe that is accidental, nobody else in Soundscapes Towers has picked up on it, so maybe that’s my imagination running away with me!
All in all there are ten tracks, all of which have light and dark, all have qualities that mean you do want to listen and keep listening, you’re never sure what is just around the corner, but you know it is going to be very engaging, melodic and enticing. Open Your Eyes is a great example of this.
The closer, Nowhere to Hide is one of those tunes that really wouldn’t be out of place on any commercial rock station
Overall, this album delivers on every track, if you like your music melodic with a progressive twist, but don’t really go for twenty minute keyboard or drum solo’s then this is your album. Over the ten tracks there isn’t a ‘filler’, (hate that phrase), but, this reviewer at least, doesn’t really have a ‘favourite’, they all have their own qualities and attractions, wonderfully wrapped up in the Geof Whitely Project sound.
In short this album is ‘Simply Marvellous’.
