Editorial Reviews

The album was recorded by the British folk rock legends in the mid- eighties during a reunion period with four of the original members with John Rebourn not in attendance. The set is guaranteed to please fans of Pentangle and Bert Jansch as the album has been unavailable for years. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best of the later pentangle, November 28, 2009

This gem was the best effort by the re-united Pentangle or at least 3 of the original 5 members. The songs are varied in mood and range from the tart Play the Game to moodier efforts such as Suil Agrar and She Moved Though the Fair to straight ahead songs from Bert Jansch. Some of this groups later albums have a few good songs but this one is good from start to finish.

Note: I have to agree with another comment that the sonics of the US master are unfortunately not that great. The UK version is said to be better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Emotional Healing, December 14, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: In the Round (Audio CD)

This CD lectures on independence, loss and acceptance.
The melody and beat Pentangle offers sweeps you into countryside festivals and abord drifting trains. I personally found peace, whimsy and strength through each titled song.

Ok, for the hardcore folkie, you probably won't like this one because of the drums or some such, but the minute I heard this album some years ago when it came out, I immediately took to it. Previous to that I had only listened to their earlier albums Jacqui McShee's voice is in fine form here as is Bert Jansch's guitar and voice, if one likes his voice. I do. Very straight forward unashamed vocals though he isn't a virtuoso in the vocal area. Try this. You just may like it and be pleasantly surprised. Or you may not. Each to his/her own!
