PALLAS 'The Sentinel' (Harvest SHSP 24001211 . I'd expected this first studio offering from Aberdeen team Pallas to be pretty damn hellish, too, what with their rep as heroes of the progressive revival, and the LP being masterminded by ELP/Yes controller Eddy Offord. The basic problem is a disconcerting one of time-shift which is very much of Pallas' making. There are six tracks on this album of which three, 'Eyes In The Night',' Cut & Run' and 'Shock Treatment', are singles contenders jaunting along for the most part at a goodly pace and generally rocking out with the best of them. The other three, however- 'Rise & Fall, 'Ark Of Infinity' and 'Atlantis Suite' although fine tracks, sound SO dated.

Notes

Originally available as lower quaility mp3 files as part of the now sold out "Mythopoeia" CDR released 2002 and now re-equed and available at higher quality through bandcamp, these tracks are the original demos for The Sentinel, the ones that lead to the band being signed by EMI and the subsequent release of that album.

An important note about the source audio:

In those days the facilities available to up-coming bands were rather basic compared to this century!

The tracks were mostly recorded on a cassette based "portastudio" or in some cases directly off the sound desk at gigs but this also imbues the tracks with a certain 'patina', which given their 30+ years age is quite fitting, so please understand that these are not of modern recording studio quality.

The original cassettes were transferred to digital as aiff files so now they can be downloaded at a better quality than the previously available medium quality mp3s from 11 years ago. Bandcamp provides a range of lossless file types as well as mp3.

We have also added some additional tracks from that period which had not been featured on previous releases.

As you will hear the grandiose plans for a double album were tempered by the record company executives along with the imperative for the snappy radio play oriented material...these demo tracks hint at what could have been and contain the intended framework for the detailed storyline for the concept.

The download is available at the band's Bandcamp web-page.
