NOT OF THIS WORLD

There is only one negative I can find in this album. Nick Barrett's voice. I have no other PENDRAGON CD's, mainly because they're hard to find in the U.S. but also due to the fact that Mr. Barrett's voice causes me to lose concentration on the music. After a few spins (getting used to Barrett's squawking) I was able to find many possitive points where the musicians are concerned. I will say Barrett plays a mean guitar but as with most of the projects he's involved in, CLIVE NOLAN is the real attraction here particularly on the phrenetic keyboard blasting at the beginning of "Not of this world."

I like the ballads which seem thoughtful and honest and are played that way. At times the music does seem a bit aimless but not for long. Therefore, I will recommend this to annyone who likes ARENA and is looking fore more works from brilliant keyboardist Clive Nolan.
