NOT OF THIS WORLD

This is my very first post so I need to intersperse some general stuff along with the review. First of all, I love this web site and I love this music. I found Pendragon from your collaboration...how amazing this band. Some more background, I'm a Yank with a foot-high stack of Marillion CDs in the basement. I know exactly two people in the US that listen to it....one is a Brit and the second got hooked on Marillion through me.

Studying the posts on Pendragon you seem to gaivtate towards Masquerade Overture as introductory material. I respectfully dosagree. Masquerade has it's moments but a lot of it seems to go over my head. This album, however belongs with the greats. This album, along with Pure, belonngs with the greats. Not of this World is up there with the Old Albums....the weaknesses: Barretts vocals need some getting used to for a beginner, and the music occasionally drags. Other than that, this is an amazing, phenominal composition!
