Pathfinder is the third album by the Scottish progressive band Beggars Opera, published in 1972.

Overview

The Mellotron, as found on its predecessor Waters of Change had all but vanished. The music here is pretty much early '70s song-based progressive, typical of the British scene of the time, dominated by the Hammond organ. It is quite an accessible album with catchy and solid melodies. [1]
