After developing their true sound and personality in "The World", "The Window of Life" definitely consolidated Pendragon as one of the most prominent Neo-Prog bands of the 90's.

The Walls of Babylon starts with a Pink Floydesque guitar solo, but soon the splendid Clive Nolan's keyboards and trademark's epic Barrett's melodies come to life to give use the usual goosebumps. The rest of the album manages to maintain a great level of quality.

Barrett's vocals are a take it or leave it thing and Am I really losing you? is clearly under the rest of the tracks in terms of quality, but apart from that "The Window of Life" is an almost flawless album which deserves to be remembered as one of the milestones of 90's Neo-Prog.

Best Tracks: The Walls of Babylon (a band's classic), Ghosts (marvellous melodies which begins in minute 2, they only make this album worthy to be heard),

My rating: ****
