In the domain of re-issues, our Scottish boys from Pallas
have released two albums in one go (the other being The
Wedge). Both of these titles not only include extra tracks, they also
include a multimedia segment. The Sentinel
is Pallas' very first album originally released on the legendary Harvest label
and produced by none other than Eddie Offord. Released way back in 1984, this
album illustrates the marriage between Marillion, IQ and It Bites. So they
certainly left behind the more complex arrangements from the seventies, whilst
especially in the domain of rhythm, the band has opted to use more
radio-friendly rhythms without too many breaks. My favourite on this album
certainly has to be the superb symfo of "Ark of Infinity" featuring
loads of keyboards and that superb droning sound of the Rickenbacker. In the
multimedia segment you can find the original sleeve design by Patick Woodroffe
next to about ten live photos and rare footage of part of the "Atlantis
Suite" as performed in the Hammersmith Odeon in 1982
