Pendragon are an English neo-progressive rock band established in 1978 in Stroud, Gloucestershire as Zeus Pendragon by guitarist Nick Barrett. The Zeus was dropped before the band started recording as the members decided it was too long to look good on a t-shirt. There were a few personnel changes in the early days, but since 1986 the lineup has remained stable (apart from two changes on the drummer's stool) and the band is still active as of 2009.
Fantastic! Utterly fantastic! It is so easy to see why Pure garnered the "Album of the Year" at the Classic Rock Society Awards. This CD is stellar from start to finish. What never ceases to amaze me is how Nick Barrett can release CD after CD that are each classics in their own rights. The quality of music that is consistently delivered by Pendragon is nothing short of amazing. We always have to wait 3 or 4 years for a new Pendragon release but boy is the wait always worth it!
I cannot even review Pure "cut by cut" because each track seems to eclipse the one which precedes it. You are immediately caught up in this CD with in the first minute and it only gets better from there.
Nick's voice and guitar playing have never sounded better. His great accent is alive and well. Clive Nolan again puts in a legendary keyboard performance. Scott Higham replaces Fudge Smith on drums (who was no slacker himself) and his drumming nearly eclipses Mike Portnoy. Round this out with Peter Gee's rock solid bass and Pure is a tour de force.
Pendragon has carved out their own sound over the years, so to try to categorize them in "Genesis, Pink Floyd, or Yes categories" (which so often happens) is a crime. As new Prog bands come along we should start saying that they sound like Pendragon!
I cannot recommend this CD strongly enough. If you do not obtain a copy you are missing one of the best Prog albums to come along in the past year, if not two. I don't pass out 5 stars freely, but in the case of Pure I would give it a 6 if I could!!
