Monday, April 16th sees the release of two new DVDs: Pendragon's Past & Presence and NEO's Broadcast. It's a must have for all progressive rock lovers!

NEO - Broadcast DVD

A recording of a show by the supergroup NEO: a band formed by such prog-rock veterans as Mark Westwood (the Martin Orford Band), Clive Nolan (Arena, Pendragon, Shadowland), John Jowitt (IQ, Jadis) and Andy Edwards (IQ). During that spectacular gig, filmed at the Wyspianski Theater in Katowice, Poland, the band offered for the enjoyment of neo-progressive sound lovers songs from the repertoire of Shadowland, Arena, IQ, Pallas, and Pendragon. As Clive Nolan comments, NEO's main aim was to "try and brake some new frontiers (?) and to represent these bands and so to get the people who haven't seen them to get an idea what they're about." Also, the gig featured a guest appearance of two other eminent prog-rock figures: Pendragon's vocalist/guitarist Nick Barrett and Pallas' vocalist Alan Reed. The DVD also includes an interview with John Jowitt and Clive Nolan, as also bonus video footage from the band's soundcheck at ROSfest. Also available in a limited swing case edition, including a CD with songs recorded at the concert!

PENDRAGON - Past & Presence DVD

Especially for the fans of neo-prog rock, the genre's great eminence Pendragon in an exceptional show celebrating the 21st anniversary of the release of "The Jewel" album! On this very special occasion, the band decided to present to the audience an untypical setlist, including mostly songs from the band's classic debut "The Jewel" (e.g. the timeless "Alaska", "Leviathan", and "The Black Knight"), as also several other classics back from the Marquee Club days (like "Fly High Fall Far" or "Victims of Life") plus a few other surprises. Also, the band decided to perform in a special line-up this time, joining forces with other musicians from Pendragon's history: John Barnfield, Julian Baker, and Rik Carter. Get ready for nearly 2 hours of some of the best music that the neo-progressive genre has to offer!
The DVD is enhanced with an interview with Nick Barret and John Barnfield, "Behind the Scenes" bonus video footage and more! Also available in a limited digipack edition, including 2 CDs with songs recorded at the concert!
