The fifth album by PENDRAGON, who remind me a bit of CAMEL and at times BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST and do conjure up some beautiful sounds, particularly Clive Nolan, who gets some crazy noises out of those keyboards. Wouldn't mind betting he's got a Moog plus an old Prophet.
Musically and melodically, the band are strong and I was impressed by the section before "A Man Could Die Out There."
The problem, though, lies right within the strengths. Good as the sounds are, they become a bit repetitive and could do with some extra textures. Maybe a sax or an oboe or even a violin would do the trick.
