FALLEN DREAMS AND ANGELS

One of those must have EP´s released by Pendragon. Although it has only 4 tracks, they are all very good and clocking at 25 minutes, it is really worth buying it. Besides, it does have my favourite ever Pendragon song, the beautiful Sister Bluebird. Of course there are more elaborated and stronger Pendragon´s tunes than this one, but it is my best remembered song ever. I loved the soaring guitars, the moving keyboards and, most of all, the impassioned vocals. Sister Bluebird is one of their most poignant tracks ever.

But the EP has more than just that. Third World In The UK is another fine mini epic that has been unjustifiably forgotten by most fans. It is another of Nick Barrett´s great achievements and I´m waiting to see it featuring in a live DVD in near future. It certainly would help to bring some attention this very underrated gem.

The other two songs, June and the title track are simpler, acoustic, tunes that show the group´s soft side and are very good too. Sure those two are not as symphonic as those I mentioned before, but the great keys and tasteful arrangements made them sound more elaborated than I initially thought they were when I first heard them. Beautiful!

Highly recommended
