PAMPERED MENIAL

Finally--the appearance of one of the most remarkable bands in any style on Progarchives. Both Pampered Menial and At The Sound Of The Bell are melodic masterpieces, with Menial being less mellotronic and more riff-oriented. The fact that Dog is still out there is a proper testimony to the fact that starting with Pampered Menial this short-lived (sadly) phenomena left a profound mark on How The Beautiful Music should be made and the reason Dog went away for almost 25 years should be attributed to the fact--it is not easy, if possible at all, to top the music of such penetrating power as Julia, Subway Sue or Song Dance--but what a memory and the world David and his St.Louis group left for us--a masterpiece!!!!
