Is Pendragon's Love over Fear a concept album? I've been listening to it recently - in fact right now I'm in the guitar solo of Truth and Lies - all the tracks seem to flow into each other. It also has a recurring lyrical and musical theme of the sea - and it also has recurring musical motifs. Is it a concept album? I've never seen anyone mention whether it is or not...  ------------- "Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence" - Robert Fripp "I am an anti-Christ" - Johnny Rotten |

No. it is a collection of songs with a common theme, but not telling a singular story. ------------- Enhance your life. Get down to www.lazland.org Now also broadcasting on www.progzilla.com Every Saturday, 4.00 p.m. UK time! |

^ What lazland says. To me it seems like this anyway. ------------- Oh, for the wings of any bird, other than a battery hen |

It was greatly inspired by Nick and Rachel's move to Cornwall, hence 360 Degrees (everything is green and blue) and lots of mentions of water and seaweed but I've not seen any mentions of it being a concept album, I don't think it is. There are recurring themes (e.g. the opening of the first track is the melody from Starfish and the Moon). Great album.

Yes, I think Everything is supposed to be like Rush's Overture, there are several themes in it that occur later in the album - most obviously in "Eternal Light" at about one and a half minutes into the song. I did a five star review on it recently - I originally was going to give it four stars, but after doing the review I realised there was nothing wrong with it. You're right, great album... avatar not changed, though... ------------- "Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence" - Robert Fripp "I am an anti-Christ" - Johnny Rotten |

It's very well done, I'd played the album quite a few times before I noticed the recurring bits. And you can't change your avatar coz I've already nabbed it.

The keyboard solo in Truth and Lies is the same as the one in the end of Afraid of Everything |

^Yes, it's a good outro. ------------- "Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence" - Robert Fripp "I am an anti-Christ" - Johnny Rotten |
