This second effort is amazingly enough a double album, released the same year as their debut. It is a good indication that they had an extraordinary and fruitful collaboration and plenty ideas were blossoming even quicker than the flowers in the hair of the hippies. Most Pentangle fans will rate this album as their favourite, but personally I find this album a bit uneven but there are some real gems with high drama to stick you enough spine chills to give you a solid cold in the dog days of summer. Such is the case with No More My Lord were Jaqui dishes her plaintive vocals with such dexterity and greatly underlined by Cox’s tom works that you wish the song lasted twice that long.

This double disc affair (remember that the Beatles had just managed the double white album) is a combination of a live album and studio recordings mixing also many short tracks - which could’ve easily doubled in length without problems - and longer tracks but there is not one single moment of self-indulgence even if some tracks have a lesser interest for the progheads; among the highlights are A woman Like You and No Exit (a guitar duo). The only time that individuals are put forward is in the Three Part Thing, but there is a section where the bowed bass gives a thoroughly medieval ambiance while the two guitarists are busy experimenting scales – very impressive. Another major highlight is In Time that holds your breath with its superb intensity and real suspense. Although brilliant, one could see that their excellent ideas were still not exploited to the fullest but nevertheless still spine tingling. There are also two songs from jazz great Charlie Mingus – both daring adaptations.
Доп. информация: PENTANGLE was formed in 1967 by John Renbourn and Bert Jansch two guitarists who had both already recorded as solo artists since 1965. Both musicians had recorded together ‘Bert and John’ in 1966 for ‘Transatlantic’. Jacqui Mc Shee who joined the band on vocals had already worked with John Renbourn on his first solo record. The rhythm section was formed by Danny Thompson on double bass and Terry Cox on drums and percussion, both former sidemen of Alexis Korner in his band ALEXIS KORNER BLUES INCORPORATED.
PENTANGLE played a mixture of Jazz and Folk with Blues-elements, influences that the band integrated in their debut record ‘The Pentangle’ which was produced by Shel Talmy. The same year PENTANGLE released their second record ‘Sweet child’ a double LP consisting of live and studio tracks and containing among others two compositions by Charlie Mingus ’Haitian Fight Song’ and ‘Goodbye Pork Pie hat’. In 1969 they released their masterpiece ‘Basket of Light’ , a commercial success including the single ‘Light Flight’ which served as the theme song to the UK television series ‘Take three girls‘. PENTANGLE released three other records, ‘Cruel sister’ in 1970, ‘Reflection’ in 1971 and ‘Solomon’s seal’ in 1972, before breaking up in 1973. While Bert Jansch and John Renbourn continued as solo artists, the latter with singer Jacqui Mc Shee in the JOHN RENBOURN BAND, Danny Thompson and Terry Cox returned to session work. The original line up reformed in 1982 for a European and Australian tour. John Renbourn left before the release of the 1985 record ‘Open the door’ and was replaced by Mike Piggott. For the next ten years the band continued to record with changing outfits, ‘So Early in the Spring’ (1988), ‘Think of Tomorrow’ (1991), ‘One More Road’ (1991) and a live record in 1994 ‘Pentangle Live 1994’. In 1995 Jacqui Mc Shee recorded together with Gerry Conway, Spencer Cozens and guest musicians ‘About Thyne. This record was the starting point for JACQUI MC SHEE’S PENTANGLE a refreshed PENTANGLE that released ‘Passe Avant’ in 1989, the live record ‘At the Little Theatre’ in 2000 and ‘Feoffee’s Land’ in 2005.

The PENTANGLE records recorded between 1968 and 1972 are highly recommended.
