Terrible Sound Quality on DVD-A Version
29 May 2003
Format:DVD Audio
"Basket of Light" is a classic Pentangle album (on artistic merit, I would give it four stars), but if you want to hear this music, buy the standard CD and avoid this DVD-A at all costs.
I have heard several different releases of these recordings over the years (LP, various CD releases, and now this DVD-A), and I'm very disappointed to say that the Silverline DVD-Audio version sounds TERRIBLE! The tonal and dynamic range is flat, dull, and lifeless -- a shock since the music on the standard stereo CD sounds like it was recorded yesterday.
Contrary to Silverline's claim, the music has NOT been remixed into "stunning 5.1 surround sound," it has merely been electronically processed to add fake echo and fake room dynamics. The standard CD in 2-channel stereo sounds more "surrounding" than the DVD-A! Of the 50+ multichannel DVD-As and SACDs that I own, this is by far the worst sounding, and it is the only one that I regret buying.

Classic Progressive Folk Rock Recording!
2 Feb 2003
Format:Audio CD
Pentagle is one of the first "progressive" folk/rock ensembles. Jaqui McShee's voice with Bert Jance & John Renborne's guitar, coupled with the other fantastic folk players on this record still moves me today. This is less in the traditional folk realm then much of the following records each did separately, or in separate groups. This was recorded in 1971 and the rock sound from the late sixties was still relatively new. Strong folk and band jam trends on this record. This recording stands on it's own. Fantastic spin!

What's All The Fuss About The Sound?
28 Aug 2007
Format:DVD Audio|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really can't imagine what all the fuss is about the sound, as cited by other reviewers. I'm quite impressed considering this a twenty-five year plus live recording. What exactly are they expecting?
Now onto the material...This recording captures Pentangle at the height of their creativity. They more than any other group of their day managed to seamlessly blend traditional English folk music, progressive jazz and rock. Working in a genere that decades later became known as "world music", Pentangle truly blazed a new path. Groups such as Faiport Convention, Genesis, Jethro Tull and even Led Zeplin owe a huge debt to their extraordinary musicianship and songwriting. Now if we could only talk them into a reunion tour. How great would that be?
