   Not going to put too much effort into this one, since the few recent suggestions I made all failed to receive any response whatsoever.
But ho-hum, Dirtbox was a project featuring some very well known names on the UK prog scene:

They released just a single album 'Uneasy Listening' (1999), and later played a few gigs.

1. Panda Rosa (7.44)
2. Story (5.23)
3 .Bella (2.29)
4. Bottle (3.52)
5. Telegraph Hill (4.31)
6. Clean (6.53)
7. Two-Step (6.07)
8. Endgame (3.21)

Total Time 40:20

Line Up:
- Mark Westwood / guitar, vocals 
- John Jowitt / bass, vocals

with: 
- Rob Green / drums 
- Matt Goodluck (vocals on tracks 2, 4)
- Tracey Hitchings (vocals оn track 5) 
- Ian 'Moon' Gould (vocals оn track 6)
- Tony Wright (saxophone on track 7) 
- Martin Orford (piano оn track 8)

	Via their samples above posted, sounds more of Crossover than Neo. Hope I can check more ...

	^ Agreed. It's more of a Crossover Prog album than a Neo one - even though the musicians involved at the time were all from existing Neo Prog bands.
