Shine On - The Best of the Whalers

Artist profile: Greg Panfile (USA)

Love All Around (Panfile) Concentrated (Panfile)

Greg Panfile, from Massachusetts, is another Guildford vet; his Resolution and Inferno CDs are well-respected in Procol circles. Resolution provides both these contrasting cuts: Love All Around '… attempts to combine Norwegian Wood with Happy Xmas, War is Over, having been written around the tenth anniversary of Lennon's death.'

Concentrated utilises Latinate verbiage to depict the 'cradle-to-grave institutionalisation' that Greg deplores in the Romanesque side of Western Culture. The former features Greg on guitars and keyboards with Ned Nugent (bass), Tom Hambridge (drums), Todd Herzog (vocal), Michael 'Pepe' Bergemann (accordion) and Will Hunt (flute); on Concentrated Greg plays keyboards, with the same voice, bass and drums: Steve Sadler contributes lead guitar. The sound at the end is a data disk played as music.
