I'm very glad to see this and "Open the Door" reissued. After not hearing in a few years, I have to say I'm enjoying this record much more than I did at first. Of course, this group doesn't quite have the magic of the group with Thompson and Renbourn. There's much more pop aspect, even akin to Spanky and Our Gang a bit, and "Let Me Be" has almost has a rock vibe. While the arrangements aren't as inventive or singular as the original group, and involve more keyboards, they're still crisp and interesting, and Jacqui's singing especially is very good. Bert Jansch's "Saturday Movie" is a charmer-- maybe overlooked for him, and the trad. songs done well, plus two pretty good songs by Terry Cox, if Terry's playing isn't for me quite as compelling as on the earlier albums. Overall, I think a charming, interesting album on its own terms.

the best of the later pentangle
29 Nov 2009
Format:Audio CD
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.

Emotional Healing
14 Dec 2001
Format: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.

Excellent! Superb!

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!
