Having come off the back of their most ambitious album to date, 'Pure', the big question was always about where Pendragon would go next. Would Nick Barrett keep faith with the more contemporary sound he explored on 'Believe' and honed brilliantly on 'Pure'?
Or would it be a case of reverting to an older formula to keep the faithful happy (whatever that means these days)? The answer is actually neither - and both. 'Passion' is that rarest of beasts - a modern-sounding classic which takes the best elements of what made Pendragon interesting in the first place, adds in a healthy dose of 21st century sounds & arrangements and mixes well until what comes out is something truly unique. From the opening drum loop sample of the title track, it's immediately apparent 'Passion' is going to demand the listener's attention. Once the band kick in alongside a monster riff you're left in no doubt that they mean serious business.
