Pendragon

“Believe” the brand new studio album from Pendragon is due for release on August 29th!! AT LAST


CD - DVD limited edition

There will be a limited edition initial release of Believe, which will include a free DVD of rare concert footage, extracts from the recent Progeny London Astoria show, studio diaries, extra bits of music, chit chat and general life in Pendragon world. It's just shot on a home video recorder but lots of good and interesting bits! [the DVD is planned to be NTSC format all regions].


Tracklisting is:

1.      Believe

2.      No Place For The Innocent

3.      The Wisdom Of Solomon

4.      The Wishing Well

a.      for your journey

b.      so by sowest

c.      we talked

d.      two roads

5.      Learning Curve

6.      The Edge Of The World

   Detail:

Artwork is by Simon Williams again, but as you see, it is quite different from previous albums, it has a darker and slightly more edgy feel to it but the appeal is still very strong. Inside the booklet are more pictures from Simon all done as tattoos.

The Music

Nick: "I really started hammering away at the writing around last October, so relatively speaking this has been a very quick album to make, the delay upto then was caused by lack of money, borderline bankruptcy [took me 2 years to sell my house...ouch!].

I was really looking for something in music that excited me again over the last couple of years and was on a bit of a musical quest and I think I have found it now with this album. There are a lot of samples of vocal sounds and weird Asian instruments. A lot of the songs were written on guitar so the whole direction feels fresh and new.
