The sixth best-known Nolan (after the five Nolan Sisters). Are there any British Neo Prog bands left that Clive Nolan hasn't been involved with at some time over the last forty years? Not many. Yes, it's England's answer to Ayreon! Clive Nolan has the singular distinction of being the youngest ever musician (aged 16) to gain a diploma at the prestigious London College of Music. The prodigious number of bands Clive's been involved with over the years reads like a veritable Who's Who of Neo Prog:- Arena; Pendragon; Shadowland; Strangers on a Train (with Tracy Hitchings); NEO; Gandalf's Fist; Caamora (with Agnieszka Swita); Casino (with Geoff Mann); Nolan & Wakeman (with Oliver Wakeman); and finally, Nolan & Barrett (with Nick Barrett). No doubt it would cost a King's Ransom to own Clive Nolan's entire discography, so why not delve into some of the free Hidden Treasure below that Clive has sprinkled with his invisible touch of keyboard Alchemy on YouTube. It's magic!
The Grand Wizard of Neo Prog presents eleven albums of epic rock opera with a cast of characters longer than the biblical epic, Exodus, and all sprinkled with Clive's magic fairy dust, and that's just for starters. 2013: Clive Nolan - Alchemy - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_ncYYh8SLR6jq87sCvdzeSwFiKLdRHsteA 1995: Arena - Songs from the Lion's Cage - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mWD3neilwkfPLXcOKjQnp8aET0I1Ym9sM 2008: Caamora - She (with Agnieszka Swita) - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3vJ0AyC8Ob5aQ72D4XKYjq2b2YxosM_8 1992: Casino - Casino (with Geoff Mann) - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtuiJcwuIZqFG-xmGuMPI4HVV1UhUy0V7 2011: Gandalf's Fist - Road to Darkness - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_km3KriKEylCFxHIXbixIqEfc_I2Sec_Nc 2007: NEO with Clive Nolan - Broadcast - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aVd6kmDWWkAmlpdLAfctOFsE6KzpIqr 2006: Clive Nolan & Nick Barrett - A Rush of Adrenaline 1999: Clive Nolan & Oliver Wakeman - Jabberwocky - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kRNzuC_raR9uuKARO42tGdSHYyL3Wn79g 1985: Pendragon - The Jewel - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGdFgsky5Xo 1992: Shadowland - Ring of Roses - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsV4W_eKY2FyMLUHMRIWmHktMQbr8gUcH 1990: Strangers on a Train - The Key, Part 1: The Prophecy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXoR8LJsW2w

I do not know, but you can edit your posts, I do that when it occasionally happens to me. I guess it depends how you post, is it a phone or a laptop, the browser. I'm using Brave for PA and a few other sites and I've rarely had any problems.

I guess I'll vote for Arena. The concentration gradient of the boll weevils gives me gas bubbles and cationization of cotton.

I'm also using a Brave browser, but I've had unwanted computer gobbledegook showing up in my posts today too.

Some legit classics in this poll. I saw Arena at ProgFest '98 in Los Angeles (the same fest John Wetton Band played the next day), and they were fantastic.
But Casino is one of my favorites. Two words: Geoff Mann. 1. Casino (RIP Geoff) 2. Songs from the Lion's Cage 3. Jabberwocky 4. The Jewel 5. The Key: Part 1 – The Prophecy (RIP Tracy) |

Nice poll, Paul.
No hesitation in voting for Casino; Geoff Mann's brillliant spiritual allegory perfectly matched to Clive's powerful score. Very sad to think that there could have been more of the same... |

Shadowland - Ring of Roses is probably my top-3 Neo Prog album, shame it's not available on vinyl

It looks like I may have over-egged the pudding again if Clive Nolan didn't appeal. Oh well, there's always The Nolans: I'm in the Mood for Dancing. |
