PANDORA – Measures of Time (SMA, 1974)

English vocals
International relevance: *** 

Don't be put off by Pandora being label mates with the criminally boring Lotus, because ”Measures of Time” is beautiful slice of heartfelt semi-symphonic prog with well-rounded melodies and pertinent playing. Pandora sometimes reminds me of Traffic, possibly because of vocalist Peter Hjelm's occasional Steve Winwood moves. There's also a dash of Israeli psychsters Churchills to Pandora's music, which is a different way to say their music is very melodic with distinct late 60's shadings. There's not one bad track among the six on this terrific album. Thanks to a couple of more recent reissues the album is somewhat more obtainable now – originals are very rare and go for a lot of money.
