ARRIVE ALIVE

Released in limited numbers on the tiny Granite Wax label, Pallas' Arrive Alive single is not to be confused with the live album of the same name, though the title track appears on some rereleases on that. The title track finds the band offering a more commercial sound than the original configuration of the live album showcases, working in a touch of new wave influence despire the band's live sound of the era being steeped in classic prog with a touch of bite reminiscent of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement. The B-side is a keyboard-oriented oddity which has been less widely compiled, though it has emerged as a bonus track on the Arrive Alive disc in Eyes In the Night boxed set, which compiles all of the band's 1980s output, along with the single mix of the title track, which the band refer to the rejected mix which somehow ended up being the one which most rereleases of the live album have included.
