SAVED BY YOU

Very interesting EP by this great band in a transitional and turbulent period of their career. The title track was an (unsuccessful) attempt to reach the pop market. Not a bad track at all, it is quite good and catchy, but hardly prog material at all. It is interesting to notice that the 3 remaining tracks are better than Saved By You. Lady Luck follows more or less in the same pop vein, but it is more convincing and strong. Chasing The Jewel is the most progressive of all and it reminds me of the overall sound of their first LP. The last song is very good, but a little too short.

All in all not a bad EP, although you´ll do better if you buy the compililation The Rest Of Pendragon, as it includes all the aforementioned tunes (plus some other good, if obscure, stuff). So I can only recommend this single for the hardcore fans, who wants to have everything the band released in its original form.
