2674 Pendragon - The Pleasure of Hope

From: The Jewel; Year: 1985; Genre: Progressive Rock

I felt like some more 1980s prog rock this morning; I thought with absolute certainty that I had chosen something from Pendragon, but apparently not. So... why not pick one of their songs today? Right... although whilst they had material released prior this track is from their first proper album. It definitely has a lot of the sounds and feel from that zeitgeist that is 1980s prog rock; synth and such, but delivers in its own unique way.
