Armageddon In Song.......2007-03-03

I have to laugh when I look at the amazon sales ranking of The Sentinel and think of all the utter garbage that outsells it! There is definitely a failure to promote at least partially at fault!
Though I have other works by Pallas, I was unaware of this obscure gem until I saw it in the box sets at a favorite Encinitas record store. Since I am a fan of the Artwork Collector's Series of prog albums issued by InsideOut Records, I grabbed this right away. When I got home, I eagerly put it in expecting something great and that's mostly what I got.
Apparently, The Sentinel was written as a concept album about the end of the world, kind of bringing the listener Armageddon in song. This was originally issued at a time when a nuclear holocaust was arguably more likely than it is today. The music here is mostly excellent, but it takes a good reading of the well-written lyrics in the handsome booklet that accompanies this disc to really appreciate the musical picture Pallas is painting.
The Sentinel has a much stronger prog flavor than some other of their CDs I own. If you haven't heard this CD yet, my best way of describing the music is to say it is somewhat evocative of Marillion.
My favorites here are: Shock Treatment, which is more rock than prog; Eastwest; Rise and Fall Pt 2; Heart Attack; and Ark of Infinity. The only song I really do not like is the corporate-rock sounding Arrive Alive. It sounds really out of place here.
If you missed out on The Sentinel when it was originally issued, here's your chance to get what is a very decent piece of work. I highly recommend that you get the Artwork Collector's Series box set. Its worth the measly extra couple of dollars.

Pallas..quién es PALLAS ??.......2004-11-26

Vaya trabajo musical, todo una pieza de colección, valorada muy poco fuera de Europa, sin embargo es una referencia obligada para la gente que gusta del Rock Progresivo. Este pieza es la base musical de PALLAS. Considerado como Neo-Progresivo, pero creo que la definición es lo de menos. Ritmos y sonidos bien mezclados, letras de batallas épicas, las cuales hacen cierta alusión a guerras verdaderas, el equilibrio vocal de Euan Lowson es una muestra del buen manejo de impostación voz-instrumento.

La lírica acústica de los teclados también es muy resaltada y pronunciada en la mayoría de las canciones.

Finalizo comentando que hay quien ha comparado a PALLAS con MARILLION y con IQ, pero....si quieres saberlo....
