FIND THE ANGELS ON THIS EXCELLENT WORK

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Another marvellous CD, Fallen Dreams and Angels is a incredible song, the best of all times from Pendragon, alone worth the price. Am I Really Losing You? has a solo guitar that catchs me, as other wonderful songs like Dune, BAbylon, etc. Nick Barret is a monster like Steven Wilson. If you like Marillion, Fish, Alan Parsons Project, Genesis, Pink Floyd,buy this CD. If you have doubts, see my other revews and if You like them, you must buy it as well.

Great NEOPROG

"I love this cd. Highlights include the fantastic epics Walls of Babylon and Ghosts. The guitar rips through and reminds me of the greats like Howe and Gilmour. Docked a star for ripping-off a Yes riff. But, I have to admit I was enjoying that riff. Good buy!"
Pendragon - The Definition Of Neo Progressive Rock

"Pendragon was yet another member of the early 80's class of neo progressive rock that emerged from England near the beginning of that decade. Marillion was the most successful with IQ coming in a distant second, but Pendragon also formed their own niche of fans that continue to this day. Pendragon has always been the main project of guitarist, vocalist composer Nick Barrett and his main sidekick keyboardist Clive Nolan. Together they have crafted a bunch of albums over the years that take classic 70's progressive rock influences and blend them with a more modern edge. Progressive rock fans seem to either love them or loath them. For the most part I am a fan and have always enjoyed what they do. "Window Of Life" is prime Pendragon. There is a lot of great material here including the two longest tracks "Walls Of Babylon" and "The Last Man On Earth". My one problem with this album is that in spots they almost blatantly copy riffs and melodies from other bands. You can find almost the exact same passages on Yes, Geneis, and Moody Blues albums, and the opening sequence of "Walls Of Babylon" is very much in the style of "Wish You Were Here" Pink Floyd. I find it hard to believe that these were all conscious decisions made by the band, but some of these passages are way too close for comfort. Other than that I enjoy this album immensely and give it a solid 4 stars."
