MEN WHO CLIMB MOUNTAINS

For me, this has to be one of the best from Pendragon. Having followed these guys from the beginning and seen them live on many an occasion I love the fact they keep true to their roots. Masquerade Overture reached a pinnacle and since then they have experimented with slightly different directions but always kept the same Pendragon feel. I felt Not of this World dipped slightly but since then they just get better. Men Who Climb Mountains is, I believe, their best yet. I loved Passion and Green and Pleasant Land was an absolute masterpiece but this album represents a return to the slightly softer more subtle Pendragon of Masquerade Overture. Nick's guitar is just wonderful.
