Текст песни It's Only Me

At last, finally a band able to touch me deep in my very soul. This band, named after King Uther Pendragon (you know, those knights with a round table) delivers with this album a top production which will be welcomed with open arms in progrock land. The CD as a whole breaths an introvert and subtle atmosphere which leaves the listener daydreaming about ancient an long forgotten era’s in time. All ingredients typical for Prog/Sympho are present, organs and keys, tempo variations in the drums, wonderful guitar solo’s, numerous percussion instruments and lyrics which would drive your ordinary poet crazy from jealousy. Pendragon was founded in 1981 and since the release of ‘Fly High, Fall Far’ in 1984 they keep on bettering themselves, with as a climax ‘Masquerade Overture’ (1995). Because ‘Not Of This World’ is kind of a autobiographical story from Nick Barret (singer/guitarist), and the album is more melodic, passionate and emotional than ‘Masquerade Overture’, I reach the conclusion that the band again has grown, especially in depth. This sublime album is perfect until the smallest of details. For starters, the coversleeve, made by their permanent designer Simon Williams. A perfect cover which fits excellent in Pendragon’s atmosphere, where all the songs in the form of little pics are present. The album contains five songs (however, most of these songs are chopped up in several parts), and if I must describe them my euphoria will take control and I will exceed the word limit my webmaster has set for CD reviews, so I won’t even begin to tell you that this is a f***ing great album. I would like to add that on the LIMITED EDITION I have here (a thousand thanks go out to Horst and Bertus) contains two extra tracks, ‘Paintbox’, and ‘King Of The Castle’. These songs were originally part of ‘Masquerade Overture’, but now they are played acoustic, and are even more beautiful than the original version. So, because I couldn’t find a single negative point anywhere on this album, I have no choice than give this one the full 10 points! rating = 100/100
