Gary Brooker |
... stuffed with gems – not tribute band homage but original treatments ... always with real imagination and musicianship ... more like Trower than Trower ... the whole becomes larger than the sum of the parts ... the asking price is worth every penny ... Get it now or never know what you missed ... [more] |

Forty lovingly-crafted songs on two CDs for such a small price ... to those whose copy is winging its way to you, you’re in for a real treat – and for anyone who has held off ordering, place your order now, you will not be disappointed ... the sheer bloody inventiveness is stunning ... [more] |

... The Palers' Project should not be mistaken for a tribute act ... like the troubadours of old, they have heard the stories and retold them in their own way ... blending close reworkings and startling reinterpretations of the familiar and not-so-familiar into a collection full of old friends and new surprises.

Douglas Adams would have loved this ... a fans' cover band on this gargantuan (and talented) scale is surely worthy of note ... an essential Paler purchase which both fills the void until the Islington DVD and the Band appear and is a genuine treasure in its own right. [ more] |

... more than any compilation of the originals, this collection gives the listener a perfect example of the impressive breadth of style and scope of Procol Harum's music ... It rightfully takes its place on the 'Procol Harum related' shelf of my collection and will become more than just an occasional listen ... [ more] |

It is extremely well-produced, well-balanced and is a credit to the performers who contributed. It really is a must for anyone who visits these pages ... the songs flow so well that the listener is compelled to take the full journey from beginning to end ... [ more] |

I still find it completely amazing that so many Procol fans ... have such enormous musical talent ... and that includes their very talented cats. By making the 22 dollar contribution, you get that good warm feeling inside plus a 40-cut CD set – there's no way to lose ... [ more] |

There are some albums that I listen to a few times and then put away. From Shadow to Shadow is one that I'll listen to over and over and over again. There is some terrific instrumental work along with the vocals ... a 'must-have' for all Procol Harum fans. ... many of the fans are superb musicians in their own right ... I’ve been thrilled by the fresh renditions of these great tunes ... [more] |

Phew! The Palers have really raised the bar for any future Palers' Projects CDs. So much talent and ingenuity. And fun too, that's From Shadow To Shadow ... it proves that Procol Harum music is out-there and organic, not gathering dust in an obscure museum ... [more] |
