THE REST OF PENDRAGON

While Pendragon was not very prolific in terms of releasing original albums, they will output several EP's, compilations and live ones. What you'll get here is actually a collection of their first three EP's "Fly High, Fall Far", "Red Shoes" and "Saved By You".

They are presented anti-clockwise which is good to know to be able to distinguish their evolution (?) during these seven years that seperate them, although most of these songs are a bit uniform, nice but not essential.

"Dark Summer's Day" is a mellow ballad with a great and emotional guitar break at the end. Yes, it reminds me of Carlos Santana and do not yell at me. I am not kidding and I like the man's work (Carlos) very well. There is even a rocking one! "Red Shoes". Nice and gentle. Can you imagine Pendragon trying to boogie ? Listen to this one and figure out ! Another track will be rescued with a great guitar finale "Searching".

The best track featured here (but it was already the case on the original EP "Fly High..." is without doubt "Victims Of Life" : a true Pendragon song, full of emotion and beauty. The most elaborate song of this compilation. The live version for "Fly High" is the one featured on their live album "9:15 Live".

These are my three favourite ones.

Basically, what you'll get here is nothing from the other world. As the title tells us. Just an opportunity for Pendragon die-hard fans to get these three EP's on one CD. Two stars.
