Neo Prog Britannia
STEVE HUGHES Not to be confused with the Aussie Thrash Metal drummer or the stand-up comedian of the same name, Steve Hughes was previously the drummer with Big Big Train. Steve's first three solo albums were all roaring full steam ahead and showed so much promise, but sadly, it's been downhill all the way on a steep gradient since then, with his last six albums being left stranded in the sidings and sounding about as appetising as a stale British Rail pork pie in cattle class. The three "Channellings" albums sound like elevator musak at best, and the five "Themes" albums are listenable, but at the same time, instantly forgettable, making Genesis' 1980's output look like masterpieces by comparison. 2015: Steve Hughes - Tales from the Silent Ocean - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kz_KG6gWDRSQIpZzHVn6o6FWGGbjY8q54 2016: Steve Hughes - Once We Were: Part One - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mEO9h5i2gY6cpp_Mzr0cnnY-wyHeb9iU4 2016: Steve Hughes - Once We Were: Part Two - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nq0NGfhCyxrpEPKRM0c_Up5RH8Z6OLkNQ 2018: Steve Hughes - Holding onto Normal - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nCLoC9U4rs4SyRe2MbboB9aAideiywQd8 2019: Steve Hughes - Themes: Volume 1 - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_le7p8zzdArdSWIUUVUqoMUAjYNITCFmLk 2019: Steve Hughes - Themes: Volume 2 - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lJKXJtOUgLQ8FgOwEnVrl5Qfm9wCzixW0 2019: Steve Hughes - Themes: Volume 3 - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l5AN_VncIaMlQKybhq2PBMW9J7bjpiZHc 2019: Steve Hughes - Themes: Volume 4 - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kFVUjwSOtYnUo6Vy9dvxdhngjr0Lb65LE 2020: Steve Hughes - Themes: Volume 5 - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kaAZWlHHiiPwNJt5j1cxjqIRrvIrD4DKU 2020: Steve Hughes - From the River to the Sea (Refloated) - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mkvA7cyRDFMQGw2gH6mcjqw4dGOVLLC8c 2021: Steve Hughes - Channellings - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lq899X3mCAc-kuApFVu1610h5Md9k4Axg 2022: Steve Hughes - Project 38 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMOYHvNCalc 2022: Steve Hughes - More Channellings: Book One - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wluEwMqmcRE 2022: Steve Hughes - More Channellings: Book Two - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qRWt6bwXoI 2022: Steve Hughes - Telemetry & Photometry - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mG5huKqmQRpYv8JMIxLAXQarA2jGg-9KY 2023: Steve Hughes - Visions of the Star Water Caves - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_n12ggjYMwd35-4v63Iwqs5XIgPU88SK0U Edited by Psychedelic Paul - May 09 2023 at 05:42 |

Neo Prog Britannia
THE INNER ROAD The road less travelled... The Inner Road are slightly off the beaten track, so no surprise if you've never heard of them. They're a symphonic Neo Prog duo who compose mainly instrumental music with the occasional heavenly choir providing angelic backing vocals. All they need now is a lead singer - preferably female - for that little bit of extra mileage. 2011: The Inner Road - Visions - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l8rq5aYu1DQ6XoLYua6EpABY96VESgkPI 2013: The Inner Road - Ascension - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf317MRHUBg 2017: The Inner Road - Sanctuary - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecP1LCjOAuk 2019: The Inner Road - The Majestic Garden By the way, if you want to see New York City as you've never seen it before, then take a look at the 75-minute video for The Inner Road's Sanctuary album.

Neo Prog Britannia THE INSTITUTE OF MODERN LOVE A short-lived institute, even by Neo Prog standards. The Institute of Modern Love have been around for over a decade now, but they've never quite gotten around to recording a full album, leaving us with a 5-track, 24-minute-long promo EP, which is all there is and maybe all there ever will be - which brings to mind Led Zeppelin for some strange reason. 2011: The Institute of Modern Love - Welcome to the Institute of Modern Love |

Neo Prog Britannia IQ Are You Sitting Comfortably? Then I'll begin with some Tales from the Lush Attic. IQ were one of the original "Big Six" in the early 1980's Neo Prog movement (the other five bands being Marillion; Pallas; Pendragon; Solstice; & Twelfth Night). Until recently, Neo Prog was as much of a mystery to me as the mysterious Dark Matter which is thought to account for approximately 85% of the matter in the known universe. In The Wake of listening to all of IQ's (mostly) superb albums though, they gradually broke down my Resistance to Neo Prog. Many modern prog bands have sunk without trace in the deep blue Subterranea, or fallen by the wayside on The Road of Bones, but IQ have gone from strength to strength with the release of possibly their best album Ever in 2019: Resistance! IQ are quite possibly one of the greatest Neo Prog bands Ever (with the possible exception of the inferior Nomzamo album) and I'll be listening to IQ's albums with increasing Frequency from now on. 1983: IQ - Tales from the Lush Attic - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nQlbYkbsQUpHtNC9z6A3G9AYNufD4aWto 1985: IQ - The Wake - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpLVeQ_HAjc7ZEL4niJBvoZ6 1986: IQ - Living Proof: Live from London - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpKkM-l3KbkkX3MaX826I_kS 1987: IQ - Nomzamo - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpIBzGs044oorog2gXGfiXoi 1989: IQ - Are You Sitting Comfortably? - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpKWlzgxqnwfUKVsqnsD-a9P 1993: IQ - Ever - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpLB2_ddDKrQ4Fk9qnxPVdzv 1996: IQ - Forever Live - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpLDFV9YzlL7g0fuIvtha7e- 1997: IQ - Subterranea - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpLU7KfuZgEwR7lPT2xNjU53 1998: IQ - Seven Stories into 98 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpI3Nl4DhP8KbnHpX6XaDuya 2000: IQ - Subterranea: The Concert - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpLnhqqouRvUixFxqpE1L5LB 2000: IQ - The Seventh House - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpLUWnyys630jZzmjnExS-Eg 2002: IQ - The Archive Collection: IQ20 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpLWnRGn2Ierd_7mVVllA8Na 2004: IQ - Dark Matter - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpI38CsnvYYrsnfDU5UI9q1y 2005: IQ - Live at Nearfest - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpLp4WiGhrGvnxVJKuG8O97Q 2009: IQ - Frequency - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_myWOvjK0f1fVniTmZL_ssehAvXrFaS-Cs 2010: IQ - The Wake: Live at Boerderij, Zoetermeer - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpKWG7sR4Qb24vjPuUZlnzl9 2014: IQ - The Road of Bones - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpIIAFnD5oW5Fd0pG4xrJ4mS 2017: IQ - Scrape Across the Sky - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpL7coIk6e53Rr7nMsPxDhBy 2019: IQ - Resistance - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpL62ziaIk-J_IQDNKqbL_Bi Edited by Psychedelic Paul - May 14 2023 at 03:38 |

Neo Prog Britannia
JADIS Ship Ahoy! Stand by for some nautical Neo Prog from this Southampton-based band, which includes honorary member Martin Orford on keyboards, when he's not working with IQ. Jadis are named after a character in C.S. Lewis' "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". I know what I like in my wardrobe, and that's shelves full of Neo Prog CD's, but the reality is, my entire Neo Prog collection (consisting of four Marillion albums) is far outnumbered by my eleven Genesis albums (including Calling All Stations). Anyway, when you're tired of Genesis, why not sample some Medium Rare treats from Jadis, with their latest studio album being as good a Starting Point as any.

Neo Prog Britannia
JANISON EDGE An outstanding one-album band with an edge over many of the better-known Neo Prog bands, mainly due to some stunning keyboard wizardry and the soaring, honey-voiced tones of singer Sue Element. Janison Edge consists primarily of members of various other notable bands which reads like a veritable Who's Who of Neo Prog, with Sue Element being the only member who has no earthly connection to another band. If you like female-fronted Neo Prog bands such as Magenta, then I'm sure you'll enjoy The Services of Mary Goode too. It's very unlikely there'll be a follow-up album after all this time, so best make the most of this one, as that's all there is and it's rather Goode too. 1999: Janison Edge - The Services of Mary Goode - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFB21013D2A0BD780

Neo Prog Britannia
IAIN JENNINGS You may know Iain Jennings better as the keyboard player with Mostly Autumn - the best Neo Prog band there never was - or you may not know him at all. Either way, Iain decided he needed some Breathing Space away from constant touring and recording with the band, and following a well-earned break on the tropical island of Hiatus, he came up for air with a whole decade-worth of four critically-unacclaimed solo albums, which may have fallen below the radar. Until now, that is. 2007: Iain Jennings' Breathing Space - Coming Up for Air - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_m-k1G3-5l988MDK_6ixN0gjIPx7MuQxOw 2009: Iain Jennings' Breathing Space - Below the Radar - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_m6vrK5GjmkfHcPTiiInSmPPJnu5ruQ8Ow 2013: Iain Jennings - My Dark Surprise - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mN-pGt_VOIbXiO1tsLb7XZcwBhqUJ3Mp4 2017: Iain Jennings - The House - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_n7AxezDqhlHe53xdvA-kAGYhaRmCB83_0 Edited by Psychedelic Paul - May 20 2023 at 02:14 |

TONY KAYE A keyboard player extraordinaire who's been with more bands than I care to mention, most notably a member of YES from 1968 to 1971 and then again from 1982 to 1994. Tony Kaye's long-awaited solo debut "End of Innocence" is a heartfelt 20th anniversary tribute to the victims of 9/11. This powerful and emotionally uplifting album is a musical tour-de-force, sounding like no Neo Prog album you've ever heard before or will ever hear again, so why not sample some tasty special Kaye today.

KONCHORDAT In ecclesiastical circles, a concordat is an agreement between the Vatican and a government whenever the Pope wishes to pontificate from on high. When it comes to pontification regarding our firmly held views in the world of Progressive Rock though, it's unlikely we'll reach a concordat any time soon. I think you'll agree though that Konchordat are a pretty good band, even if Neo Prog is not your cup of tea. 2009: Konchordat - English Ghosts - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k8m4SEZSaaJJhhwbOLSuqV19s9SXjzFiE 2011: Konchordat - The New Crusade - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aVd6kmDWWnXohPEJJS5Dw8g0REj8BYx 2016: Konchordat - Rise to the Order Edited by Psychedelic Paul - May 23 2023 at 04:20 |

LANDMARQ A band that's gone straight to the top of my list of favourite Neo Prog bands! Landmarq were led by blonde bombshell and incredible singer Tracy Hitchings until recently, when she very sadly passed away at the tender age of sixty. She's now up there somewhere entertaining the angels. Does It Really Happen that all eight of Landmarq's sensational albums are better than the latest landmark offering by YES!?? Yes, It Can Happen, although in all honesty, I know there are some of us here who won't view that as the greatest of recommendations. Anyway, putting that aside, this amazing band have more strength and power than most Neo Prog bands I know of, which leads me to believe they may be on a diet of Ultimate Spinach. Still, you don't have to take my word for it when you can Behold & See for yourselves. Prepare to be Thunderstruck! 1992: Landmarq - Solitary Witness 1993: Landmarq - Infinity Parade - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLtaozkBDVg 1995: Landmarq - The Vision Pit 1998: Landmarq - Science of Coincidence 2006: Landmarq - Turbulence: Live in Poland - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lf7lrLJRiYga26YgCP0qBHnsq9NvYFXgI 2012: Landmarq - Entertaining Angels - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nHaykyyBDAGrZT7YpqQ3nSmH2Cf0Mbtlg 2014: Landmarq - Origins - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kbcoFKPQv8m6Xucq09nra5T-kr64QU13I 2015: Landmarq - RoadSkill: Live in the Netherlands - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mqNo3_WV6EeDJCIai33MuLH9BcXYljyAU Edited by Psychedelic Paul - May 26 2023 at 04:44 |

LEGEND Is there anything more exciting in the wonderful world of prog than discovering a "new" female-fronted band that you never even knew existed before? That's certainly the case with Legend, who cleverly combine Paganism, Folk and Neo Prog into a unique style all of their own, bringing to mind delicate shades of Cyan, Magenta and Mostly Autumn. You can almost picture this merry band of tree dwellers dancing naked in the forest with the moonlit knight. Legend have been around for over 30 years now - including a 15-year hiatus - but for most of that time they've remained unknown legends in their lunchtime. Who knows though, if Legend make another comeback, in another 20 years time we may be saying Howe can they be the same band we once knew and loved when they only have one semi-original member remaining!?? Sound familiar? By the way, if you have a preference for female vocalists who wail like a siren, then you'll reach Wuthering Heights of Cloudbusting ecstasy with Legend's latest album. Just imagine Kate Bush singing on the best Neo Prog album you've never heard. Wow, Oh wow, unbelievable. Wow, Oh wow, she's incredible! 1991: Legend - Light in Extension - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_ksoFoUHnxdiKtdZDQt2kSkuUK6e0v8fG0 1993: Legend - Second Sight - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lwpierYMxN6cA0thXB3dzTvUprGQyno3Q 1996: Legend - Triple Aspect 2009: Legend - Ritual Echo - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lpU8w5vbUxQHJhDQYMwjWamIauGXol3dk 2010: Legend - Playing with Fire (Live 1992) - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nEi0BGmkqD900owJWCZ3ctV23RvMByeEE 2011: Legend - Cardinal Points - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mYk68V2OzZe-3KXM-0MeEVkMMQnPkVDH0 2013: Legend - Spirit - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nanivSNGMEQ4yxZ_hpVjuqR4YUwPr1NRI Edited by Psychedelic Paul - May 30 2023 at 12:48 |

THE LENS You'd need a photographic memory to recall that The Lens were around in the late 1970's, when it was a case of blink and you'll miss them. The Lens were the early forerunners of IQ, featuring none other than vocalist Peter Nicholls and Martin Orford on keyboards where the focus was clearly on excellent musicianship. We now travel in the TARDIS over twenty years into the future, when The Lens finally got around to recording their first studio album in 2001, consisting now of a duo of Martin Orford and multi-instrumentalist Michael Holmes. When The Lens regenerated yet again - just like Doctor Who - nearly a decade later, Michael Holmes was the sole remaining focal point of the "band" as performer, composer and producer. If you're looking for the Best of British Neo Prog, then you've come to the right place, and for those who recall the magnificent music of German composer Manuel Goettsching, the mainly-instrumental Regeneration album is very reminiscent of Ashra - only better! 2001: The Lens - A Word in Your Eye - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nEs0csmtUHITQTGYRw_-dYe8ehlYJMRKc 2010: The Lens - Regeneration - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_klhyE2UzRkeSQ4Mk8UUyHASp1cnmQVibw Edited by Psychedelic Paul - May 27 2023 at 04:30 |

Neo Prog Britannia FRANCIS LICKERISH A renaissance composer who's well-versed in classical music theory, which is very evident in his Far and Forgotten symphonic masterwork, From the Lost Lands, where you'll hear more violins, cellos and operatic sopranos than in the Last Night of the Proms. In fact, this grandiose and spectacular album of Symphonic Prog is loaded to the brim with more orchestral pomp and ceremony than Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance march. Francis Lickerish is probably best-known for his work as the guitarist with The Enid, but he's added allsorts of other strings to his bow since then, having worked as a counselor and group therapist for many years. If it's music therapy you're looking for though, then look no further than Francis' first four magnificent studio albums with The Enid, which are generally regarded as their best. Francis Lickerish made a very welcome return to the world of music in 2009 with his magical Prog Folk project, Secret Green, before going onto even greater things with his legendary From the Lost Lands album in 2012, which sounds like a long-lost soundtrack to an imaginary epic fantasy movie in the Lord of the Rings film series. Okay, so it's not Neo Prog as such, but this album was just too good to overlook. Secret Green's To Wake the King isn't a good album though. It's an outstanding album! And so, with eight varied albums to choose from, why not sample some Lickerish Allsorts today. They're rather tasty. 2012: Francis Lickerish - Far and Forgot: From the Lost Lands - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kq-pjlZUbHbWHat5VafAgRa4jb9t9rILI 2009: Secret Green - To Wake the King - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kohdccMjq6UAMA59szFczMCb6L4YtdbSE The Enid with Francis Lickerish 1976: The Enid - In the Region of the Summer Stars - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdU5MQKDXsk 1977: The Enid - Aerie Faerie Nonsense - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJOT707sogc 1979: The Enid - Touch Me - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja0bqTOyecU 1979: The Enid - Live at Hammersmith Odeon - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpJ1s-Z1Yy6flVG3IJx5yLjj 1980: The Enid - Six Pieces - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nD5QKuASwNVU7T_sxrBM4L4-SNEf8oFrU 1980: The Enid - Live at Loughborough Town Hall - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpKIvA38vdBaQ3u0zDTxaUfO Edited by Psychedelic Paul - May 28 2023 at 09:26 |
