Album Notes

'If pop had existed in the 19th Century Roland would have been a star' (Music Week)
'Genuis at play!If Will Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and Edgar Allen Poe were alive today they'd surely have some Roland in their collections. Unfortunately they're dead...What's your excuse?' (Bucketful Of Brains'
'A maestro of melancholy...ornate gothic/baroque songwriting
and quintessentially English pop-psych dementia..Princely stuff' (Ptolemaic Terrascope)
'Sublime, fabbo and very very in. Don't get left behind' (Melody Maker, UK)

REVIEWS

Haunted Treasure
author: Marc Berger
                            
Expanded edition of "Duel" appends extras tracks and versions that offer the listener more of Paul's genius. Marrying songwriting talent of Barrett, Hitchcock and to a degree Al Stewart with spinning tales into a melody, Paul recreates the middle ages in the songs with rare storytelling talent. If Tolkien could sing his novels.....I think he'd have a voice similar to Paul Roland's. "Duel" is a masterpiece - and this reissue contains subtle re-recordings in some places. Great for the fan and for the beginner.

duel. full album
author: indra
                            
It`s still an amazing album. I bought it long ago as it was a new released record on vinyl and I still gets tears in my eyes while I`m listning to it. Wish there would be more people, who could make and of course got this kind of musician style. It`s a great example of musician`s different technical and workin` know-how! Hope lotsa people are able to understand these many, different styles and how it`s going together wit the words. Only can repeat myself, it`s amazing!!!!!
