A FEW REVIEWS
----

Another superb album for UK songwriter Guy Manning. 10 albums in 10 
years...does he sleep? Number Ten is crammed full of memorable music and 
lyrics covering a wide variety of styles from wildly rocky to quiet ballad, 
from symphonic epic to introspective piano pieces. With its iconic 10 
Downing Street front cover which is embellished by musical instruments and 
a strange mystical shape (which appears again and again throughout the 
artwork), this album is nicely turned out. Andy (Tangent) Tillison returns 
to do a great job on the production side and makes the music leap out of 
the speakers at you with clarity and punch. Overall a Highly Recommended 
addition to the large back catalog for this still relatively unknown yet 
prolific and talented artist! (ProgArchives)

----

Ten years and ten albums is quite a record for Manning but with this tenth 
release, called funnily enough, Number Ten, Guy Manning has probably 
produced his most complete album to date.

A sweeping statement maybe, but having been a keen follower of Guy's music 
for about 8 years and having witnessed some amazing musical moments I 
honestly feel that this album is the best yet.

Starting with the rocking 'Ships', upbeat, driving rhythm, captivating 
hooks, just try sitting still to this one. In turn powerful and gentle, 
always melodic but full on, just a fantastic way to open an album.

'The Final Chapter', is I suppose more typical 'Manning' whatever that is? 
Once again an intoxicating blend of power and melody. A funky feel creeps 
into this piece, with the usual subtle changes in style, but I won't spoil 
it by giving all of the secrets away, you'll have to listen for yourselves.

'An Ordinary Day' is probably the most beautiful melody that Guy has penned 
thus far. Gentle and captivating, Guy uses his voice to its full potential 
on this one, gentle and expressive at times, then at its powerful resonant 
best. A gentle song that has an amazing impact on this listener, how can 
such a beautiful melodic song be so powerful?

After the quite reflection of 'An Ordinary Day', 'Bloody Holiday' comes 
along almost like a slap. A sideways, almost self effacing look at the 
delights, or otherwise of the institution that is the summer holiday. A 
jazzy middle section, with a subtle nod to 10CC, sorry you'll just have to 
listen to the lyrics.

'Valentine's Day' takes us back into gently flowing melodic waters. 
Something slightly different here, with Julie King joining in on vocal 
duties to wonderful effect.  This song builds in power and brings in some 
majestic instrumental moments, pulling all of the best elements of a 
Manning composition together in fine style, with maybe a subtle hint of 
early Electric Light Orchestra at times.

'A Road Less Travelled' starts with a real Celtic feel, the song glides 
effortlessly along ebbing and flowing, building, rising, falling, gripping 
and enticing but with maybe a darker more melancholy message in the lyrics. 
As always, Guy has built in some dramatic changes into the music, but still 
gets the song to feel just right, the instrumental passage is one of those 
moments where power is represented by dramatic use of tone and style of the 
instruments rather than raw volume.

'Another Lazy Sunday' is anything but lazy, a real, jazz funk feel to this 
one, probably the most commercial song Guy has written thus far! Marvellous 
sax on this one in particular.

So on to the last track on the album, 'The House on the Hill', probably the 
quickest 15 minute track you'll ever come across. What am I talking about; 
well it just doesn't feel like a 15 minute track. Gentle opening explodes 
out into a more upbeat section with a hint of Tull hanging in the air but 
quickly slots back into a more magical Manning sound. This track again 
flows, I'm sorry but I just don't know how else to describe it. Almost as 
if you're reading a musical book, each change in the music is a turn of the 
page, the story continues and it all fits together in an elaborate yet 
hugely accessible musical tapestry.

In short , Number 10 has set the bar for all other releases in the 
Progressive Rock Genre for 2009, if this had been released in the late 70's 
or early 80's then we'd have been seeing Mr Manning on our TV screens in 
the endless documentaries about how 'good the old prog was'.

However don't let that put you off, this isn't a album that wallows in 
stale mid 70's styling, it is very much today's progressive rock, time 
changes, a blend of styles, excellent vocals, virtuoso instrumentation, 
what more can I say, simply marvellous. (Paul Baker, ARfm Soundscapes)

----

Unbelievably, this is Guy Manning's tenth studio album in as many years, 
hence the title. Producing an album a year would be a task for most 
artists, but the consistency of the quality of his songwriting throughout 
each album is nothing short of staggering. Strangely, with this latest 
offering Guy just missed the album a year mark by just a few weeks.

"Number 10" is the second release on the UK Festival Music Label, following 
on from the exceptional "Songs from the Bilston House". This is also the 
second to be co-produced by Andy Tillison of The Tangent, which Guy is also 
a member of. Both have worked together for many years and having Andy on 
board has added an extra musical punch to both albums.

This latest collection starts off in fine fashion with the storming rocker 
"Ships" about a relationship that is all at sea! The opening has some 
scorching Hammond playing, very ELP! Great guitar work by David Million on 
this too. Next up is "The Final Chapter" which is another great uptempo 
number with a very nice synth solo in the middle. "An Ordinary Day", one of 
Guy's most observational songs and also one of his most beautiful. There is 
a delicacy and airiness about this song that is quite breathtaking. There 
is nothing delicate about "Bloody Holiday! ", a wry observational piece and 
with a catchy chorus that will be ringing in your ears for days! Possibly 
this is the finest prog song about holidays since Gentle Giants "Two Weeks 
In Spain". It may actually be the only one! "A Valentines Night" is an 
excellent duet between Guy and Mrs Manning, Julie King who did a wonderful 
vocal on The Tangents "Four Egos, One War" from their last album. "A Road 
Less Travelled" is the first of two extended pieces, which allow the 
musicians to stretch out. Quite a Celtic feel to this, with some fantastic 
fiddle playing by Ian Fairbairn. Guy has really surrounded himself with a 
host of fantastic musicians on this album, all who work in complete empathy 
with Guys music. "Another Lazy Sunday" is another accurately observed song 
with Laura Fowles sax very much to the fore on this.

The whole album ends in spectacular fashion with the 15 minute "A House on 
the Hill". This for me is one of Guys best compositions ever. Lyrically 
this seems to be a tale of love across time and reminds me of the 1980 film 
"Somewhere In Time" which starred Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. There 
is an excellent musical build up from the simple piano led opening (which 
to my ears has echo's of Peter Hammill at his most reflective) and which 
peaks with the muscular instrumental mid-section penned by Guy and Andy 
Tillison. The songs finale offers a pleasing emotional climax to the story 
and clearly shows what a great lyricist Guy is.

There are very few artists today who apply the craft of the classic 
singer/songwriter within the prog genre. The only other that comes to mind 
is Steve Thorne. Guy over the course of ten years has refined his style, 
built up a group of excellent supporting musicians and has consistently 
produced work of such a high standard. "Number 10" is up there with his 
best, which is most of his output and is a very fitting celebration of ten 
years worth of superb music. Here's to another ten. (Doctor Of Prog - blog)

----

If you're looking for a good music mixture in the style of The Tangent 
group then "Number 10" will not disappoint you. 'Number 10' is more than 60 
minutes of melodic, "classical" and in many cases really beautiful 
progressive rock. (Maciej Stwora, MLWZ, Poland)

	Hello! Two new pre-orders, a reminder of the other pre-orders and a new release we forgot to tell you about last time! Thanks as always for shopping at www.progrock.co.uk. NEW PRE-ORDERS MARTIN ORFORD - The Old Road - GBP 10.99 [released 27/10/2008] Click here to pre-order: http://www.progrock.co.uk/acatalog/O.html#aP15323 Martin Orford is best know for his 26-year career as keyboardist and main songwriter with legendary progressive rock band IQ, though he was also a significant player for many years in Jadis and also the John Wetton band. The album features an all-star line-up including John Wetton (Asia), Nick D'Virgilio and Dave Meros (Spock's Beard), John Mitchell (It Bites/ Arena), Dave Oberle (Gryphon), Gary Chandler (Jadis) and Steve Thorne. Martin describes the album as "unashamedly retro and proud of it", and the overall theme of the CD reflects a celebration of traditional ways and a rejection of the less attractive aspects of the 21st century. An outspoken critic of the Internet and the "free music" culture, Martin recently announced his complete withdrawal from the music industry at the end of 2008, and this album provides a fitting and poignant farewell. UNITOPIA - The Garden (double) - GBP 11.99 [released 27/10/2008] Click here to pre-order: http://www.progrock.co.uk/acatalog/U.html#aP15324 Unitopia are from Australia and signed to the Inside Out label. This double concept CD is rooted in prog but has a unique edge. Powerful vocals and great melodies, this new band comes highly recommended! NEW RELEASES (now in stock) MAGENTA - Live At The Point (double) - GBP 11.99 Great new double live CD covering tracks from Revolutions, Seven, Home and the Speechless EP, recorded in 2007. Excellent sound quality and great renditions of some classic Magenta tracks.

	TWELFTH NIGHT SIGN TO FESTIVAL MUSIC We are extremely pleased to officially announce the signing of a worldwide deal with TWELFTH NIGHT, one of the most important and exciting Prog bands to come out of the 80s Progressive Rock Revival in the UK. Recent concerts have given rise to a renewed interest in the band, their back catalogue and their forthcoming live DVD, and we are honoured to be working with them. TWELFTH NIGHT formed in 1979 and became regulars at the Marquee Club, London, touring extensively over the years and releasing a number of critically acclaimed albums. Brian Devoil, drummer and founder member of the band said 'Signing with Festival Music is a very positive move for us, and we are delighted to be working with such an enthusiastic label. David Robinson (owner of Festival Music, progrock.co.uk and F2 Music) has been a lifelong fan of the band, and we are looking forward to working with him on some very exciting releases!' Festival Music will be releasing double CD 'Definitive Edition' versions of the TWELFTH NIGHT back catalogue. Each CD set will include the full original album along with a second disc containing demos, rehearsals and / or live recordings from the same era, much of it previously unreleased.

Supporting Ritual. 08/11/2008 - CRS, Rotherham, UK. Supporting Ritual. ---- We'll leave you with some of the comments that followed Credo's appearance at RoSFest! Credo - the band got crowd ovations and everyone I talked too thought it was an amazing show. Second best concert of this weekend for me. And this band won themselves new fans by the bucketful this morning, the band are probably busy counting money from CD-sales still ;-) Credo was also a treat - enthusiastic, personable and really tasteful guitar work - exceeding expectations. Credo - Sunday morning is a tough slot for obvious reasons (those damn moomin again). Credo did exactly what is necessary to win the crowd over. They played a high energy set with passion and humour. Did I enjoy the show? Absolutely. Great music, great people, great fun...who could ask for anything more? The one that moved me was The Letter by Credo. It was like a chill and the hair on my arms stood on end Credo was awesome Sunday morning. They put on a very good performance and really got the sleepy 11AM crowd into it with some humour. Other highlights where the friendly and amusing Credo putting on a great performance in the slot that demands a high standard, my wife's favourite band of the weekend with her "sounds like Marillion" comment, to me I can see the similarities but was amply unique enough for me to make it not a turn off. Credo were simply impeccable. Crunchy prog, an awesome singer with much passion and a fabulous sense of humour. Great harmonies, a very tight band. Sensational band! They simple blew everyone's socks off yesterday morning, and for the first time I can remember, I was so happy for a band that tears welled up when I saw their amazed and elated reaction to the crowd. My vote for the single most riveting performer: Patrik Lundstrom of Ritual followed by Mark Colton of Credo. Credo - Another fabulous wake up set! Mark was a riot on stage and totally won the crowd over with his stories before we even had the chance to enjoy the Rhetoric tracks. Loved the story about his son asking why a fan shot John Lennon and Mark explained that the fan shot John because he liked his music and Mark's son replied, "Daddy, I hope they don't like you in America." Kudos to Credo. Hope to see you back in the States soon. Credo What a nice surprise!!! These guys are awesome, as well as humorous!! Given the RoSFest tradition of having an energetic band open the day on Sunday, I was not surprised that Credo put on such a great show. Their front man was funny and engaging and the music was played with enthusiasm and great chops. I had already bought their album based on the strength of the one song I'd heard from them, and I'm glad I didn't have to stand in their huge merch line after the show. My second favourite act of the weekend, behind Ritual. They played all of the Rhetoric album and announced that it was the last time they'd be doing that. Tim Birrell of Credo probably had the best sound of all the guitarists at RoSFest. Credo was tremendous and the CD I bought there is just as good if not better because the production is awesome. ---- Best Regards David Robinson F2 Music Ltd, Festival House, 2 Goldfinch Close, Loughborough, Leicestershire, LE11 3HG, UK www.progrock.co.uk www.festival-music.co.uk Edited by Easy Livin - June 02 2008 at 10:03

Closing date for the competition is 31 MARCH 2008. ---- Best Regards David Robinson F2 Music Ltd, Festival House, 2 Goldfinch Close, Loughborough, Leicestershire, LE11 3HG, UK www.progrock.co.uk www.festival-music.co.uk Hi there TWO NEW SIGNINGS TO FESTIVAL MUSIC! We just wanted to let you know some great news about two new signings to our label. Festival Music is the label of F2 Music Ltd, which also consists of www.progrock.co.uk, our online Prog shop selling all of our releases as well as hundreds of other great prog titles from around the world. ---- TINYFISH We are very pleased to officially announce the signing of a worldwide deal with TINYFISH, one of the most exciting Prog bands in the UK at the moment, for the release of their second album entitled 'The Big Red Spark'. Tinyfish are already tipped as 'one to watch' by Classic Rock Magazine, with their debut CD appearing in their Top 20 albums of 2007, alongside some VERY big names, and we are honoured to be working with such a talented band. Simon Godfrey, lead singer and guitarist with the band had this to say about the new signing: 'We are very pleased to announce that Tinyfish have agreed to sign with Festival Music. David Robinson (owner of Festival Music, progrock.co.uk and F2 Music) approached us after watching our set at last year's Summer's End Festival in Bilston (UK). He loved what he heard and asked us if we would consider releasing our next record through his label. Considering that Festival has some of the best progressive bands in the UK at the moment on its roster (Solstice, Guy Manning, Credo, etc), we were only too happy to oblige. David is a the kind of label boss who genuinely loves the music he releases and we look forward to a productive relationship with him.' The new album will be engineered and mixed by It Bites/Frost/Arena/Kino guitarist John Mitchell and the band will be entering the studio in April with a view to releasing the record in late summer of 2008. The current track list is: 1. Rainland 2. Ride 3. The Sarcasm Never Stops 4. The Big Red Spark 5. I'm Not Crashing 6. Bad Weather Road 7. More Power Than Bombs 8. Wide Awake At Midnight Simon goes on to say 'The new album is a much more guitar orientated beast than its predecessor, it has two numbers over ten minutes and lots more sonic experimentation. We've managed to play a number of these songs live now and the reaction has been very positive, so be prepared for more disturbing monologues from Rob Ramsay and droplets of pure melodic bliss from the rest of the band.' ---- BITTERTOWN And the good news doesn't stop there. Festival Music have also signed a brand new band called Bittertown, based in the Netherlands. Formed by Tom Janssen, the driving force behind the band, their music is powerful, emotional, and very catchy! Having listened to their demo over a year ago now, I found myself humming almost every tune for weeks! The debut CD by Bittertown will be a concept album called 'Scenes From The Box', with great guitar and keyboard solos, and powerful, emotive vocals by three vocalists taking on different roles within the compelling concept. The final release date is still to be confirmed, but is likely to be June 2008. As soon a we have a confirmed date, we will of course let you know the full details of the release. ---- Festival Music is proud to be working with the following excellent Prog artists on their label: Bittertown Citizen Cain Credo Ezra Manning Solstice Tinyfish Current releases include: Abel Ganz - Back From The Zone chimpan A - chimpan A Credo - Rhetoric Erasmus - Voyage Ezra - Songs From Pennsylvania Manning - Songs From The Bilston House Solstice - Silent Dance - the definitive edition (double) Solstice - New Life - the definitive edition (double) Solstice - Circles - the definitive edition Solstice - The Cropredy Set - the definitive edition (CD+DVD) ProgAID - All Around The World EP (all star charity release) Annie Haslam with Magenta - Night And Day EP To read more about the releases currently available, and see our previous releases, please visit www.festival-music.co.uk.

	Here's the latest from them. Hello Prog fans - some exciting new titles have just arrived / are soon to arrive in stock, just in time for Christmas! Please note the Christmas posting dates at the end of this email, and order in plenty of time. ---- FINAL REMINDER: RIVERSIDE PLAY THE UK - be at Lydney Town Hall on 29/11/2007! We will be there with our full selection of great Prog CD's & DVD's for sale, and some very special prices for one night only! We hope to see you there! Polish band Riverside play Lydney Town Hall on 29 November 2007. Promoting their great new CD 'Rapid Eye Movement' (available from www.progrock.co.uk for just GBP 9.99, or the special edition for just GBP 11.99 including postage!) and supported by Also Eden, it should be a great night! ---- PROGROCK.CO.UK NEW STOCK / PRE-ORDERS NOW BEING SENT NEW PRE-ORDERS BJH - Legacy [DVD] - GBP 12.99 Barclay James Harvest, featuring founding members John Lees and Woolly Wolstenholme, perform live in London. Features the songs 'Mockingbird', 'Galadriel', 'Child Of The Universe' 'Hymn', plus many more! Woolly Wolstenholme - Caterwauling - GBP 9.99 [RELEASE DATE TBC] A stunning work in a modern "progressive" style, it evokes the "classic" sound of BJH whilst adding a harder edge which is all Wolstenholme's own. NEW STOCK Big Big Train - The Difference Engine Easily the best Big Big Train release so far! Includes guest appearances by established progressive rock artists Dave Meros (Spocks Beard), Nick D'Virgilio (Spocks Beard) and Pete Trewavas (Marillion). Satellite - Into The Night (LIMITED EDITION with 2 extra tracks) - GBP 9.99 The new CD by Satellite! The music here will appeal not just to those who enjoy the melodic power of bands such as Arena and Porcupine Tree, but also to those who favour the classic prog bands such as Yes and Pink Floyd. A recommended buy! Quidam - Alone Together - GBP 9.99 Superb new CD by Polish band Quidam - their best CD in years! A recommended buy! Galleon - Engine Of Creation - GBP 9.99 (awaiting new delivery - back in stock very soon) The follow up to the epic and highly successful 'From Land To Ocean'. If you don't know the band, start with this release - you 'won't be disappointed! Glass Hammer - The Compilations - GBP 9.99 A breathtaking collection of beautiful Glass Hammer music never before included on an official Glass Hammer recording. All tracks included on The Compilations, 1996 to 2004 either never made their way to an official album, were recorded for tribute albums, or were part of compilation projects that included many prog artists. This is a fantastic addition to any progressive music collection, and is a must-have for all Glass Hammer fans. Pineapple Thief - What We Have Sown - GBP 9.99 (awaiting new delivery - back in stock very soon) The 27 minute tour de force track "What We Have Sown" is something a little different for the group. Built around a beautiful main song, this shows the group in its more adventurous mode with terrific drum work and fluid guitar solos. lovely keyboard work is then woven into the instrumental sections together with spiralling guitar themes that ebb and flow to become one of the finest PINEAPPLE THIEF tracks to date. Singularity - Of All The Mysteries - GBP 9.99 The new CD by Singularity - a new band to us at progrock.co.uk, but very enjoyable! Neal Morse - ? Live (double CD) - GBP 12.99 The first live CD (and a double!) from Neal Morse as a solo artist, proving why he is considered one of the best vocalists / performers in the Prog business! Threshold - The Ravages Of Time - Best Of Threshold Double CD - 140 mins of music from all studio CD's + unreleased radio edits ---- CHRISTMAS POSTING DATES For DELIVERY BEFORE CHRISTMAS, please note the following: UK / Western Europe: Orders must be placed by midnight GMT on 12 DECEMBER 2007 Rest of the world: Orders must be placed by midnight GMT on 07 DECEMBER 2007 Any orders placed after these dates will not be sent until January 2008.
