OUT OF ORDER COMES CHAOS

The tradition continue with Pendragon, to do a DVD to Katowice in Poland at the same venue. You can collect the DVD's with a 90% different set list each time. This is their first Blu-Ray and i though that it would be time to have a nice surround mix, but it's not the case here again. This a PCM 5.1 mix with a unpleasant reverb echo. Not that the sound is terrible, but why make a 5.1 mix if it don't add anything.

The show contains a lot of songs from the two latests cd's, which show the band incorporated some heavy parts, more obvious in these songs ; "Comatose", "Freakshow" and "Empathy", the latter has even a rap section. "Feeding Frenzzy" tell it all, it's really frenzy! The Passion's CD have been written to fit the new dynamic style of the drummer Scott Higham. The standout track is at the first encore ; "Indigo" who reminds us of the band Arena and Pink Floyd for the Gilmour guitar style of Nick Barrett.

I hope that the band will continue into this direction, because their sound was becoming too polished, and repetitive. It was time to bring some chaos in their music. The Blu-Ray contains also a interview with Nick and a documentary of 45 minutes that it's worth watching one time with Nick behind the camera.
