PALLAS is, after MARILLION, and along with IQ and PENDRAGON, one of the most important acts of the Eighties Progressive rebirth. This is an energetic and magnificent neo progressive band in the style of IQ/MARILLION but with more edge. Their music is centered on melodic hooks, loud sound and great voice. "The Sentinel" brings a tint of pop in a still elaborate progressive spectrum. Scottish prog band PALLAS definitely have one of the longest gaps between albums on record. They released their first album, "The Sentinel" in 1984 and followed it up with "The Wedge" two years later. Their next album, "Beat the Drum" (72 minutes of music with epic accents, rock rhythms and style, and ballads full of feeling), did not show up for 13 years. It will be followed by the wonderful "The Cross And The Crucible" in 2001. This album features all the things prog fans are looking for - atmospheric keyboards, great guitar tunes and a well working rhythm section - and last but not least an vocalist with an very own style. Highly recommended to fans of neo Progressive style. (progarchives.com) This is one of the most talked about neo-progressive rock albums in the '80's. It has a reputation of being a masterpiece and a classic album in this genre. Despite all that, I hadn't heard it until InsideOut re-released it in the CD format this year, so it was with high expectations I started listen to it. - This is a concept album with a war theme. The music is a mix between 70's bands such as EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER, GENESIS, PINK FLOYD, RUSH and YES, and eighties and nineties bands such as ARENA, IQ, MARILLION and PENDRAGON. The high-quality compositions have great melody lines, intelligent lyrics, many instrumental passages, great musicianship, bombastic keyboards and intricate rhythm and mood changes. In a retrospective view the sound is very eighties, much due to the keyboard sound. - Besides the tracks that were on the original release there's also some tracks that never made it onto the vinyl version. The CD also includes a Multimedia section with pictures and a video of the band performing "Atlantis" live on stage. The highlights on the album are "Cut and Run", "Eastwest", "March on Atlantis", "Heart Attack" and the closing "Ark of Infinity", but every track is a masterpiece in itself. - The gatefold cover artwork by Patrick Woodroffe is very beautiful. It's very reminiscent to Roger Dean's works, and it illustrates the music very well. If I have some negative critic it would be that I might have had too big expectations on this album, because it didn't really fulfil my dreams. I even doubt that "The Sentinel" were such an innovative album when it was released. Despite my few negative words, this is without doubt an album that deserves its place as a classic album in the progressive genre. The compositions are top-notch, and all in all this are a highly recommended album that you ought to buy. (Greger - progarchives.com) This is the debut recording of the Scottish neo-prog band Pallas. It was produced by Eddie Offord, which, rather than working to the band's advantage, became a controversy leading the band to accuse Offord of rushing through the session. The band took it upon themselves to re-master the original tapes without Offord. The band's approach is a derivative of influences such as Genesis, Pink Floyd, Rush, IQ, and, most obviously, Marillion. The lyrics are based upon Cold War themes wrapped in an Atlantis metaphor. The longer songs are well developed, but tend to be repetitious, while the shorter songs are standard rock fare, dominated by the keyboard/synthesizer work of Ronald Brown. Fans of '80s neo-prog recognize this recording as being of historical importance, which has lead to a re-release on CD with additional tracks and a multimedia section of photos and live footage.
