Out in September the new live "Alchemy" DVD/CD by Clive Nolan :
From Metal Mind productions : 
Clive Nolan (Pendragon, Arena, Strangers on A Train) returns in September with a DVD featuring a live version of his most ambitious solo project to date – the rock musical “Alchemy”. Brought to life by a host of artists well known on the prog-rock scene, “Alchemy” is a Victorian adventure set in 1842, with a sense of the dark and mysterious. Clive Nolan: 'Alchemy' is for me the biggest musical and artistic challenge I have ever attempted. I really didn't expect a bigger 'mountain' to climb than the 'She' project, but I was wrong. This show is simply larger in structure and depth. By the time we do the Cheltenham shows, it will have been four years of my life! The musical sees the return of many actors known from the Caamora Theatre Company’s previous productions of “She” – Clive Nolan, Agnieszka Świta, David Clifford, Victoria Bolley, Chris Lewis, Becky Carter, Ben Perkins, and Soheila Clifford – aided by such remarkable singers as Tracy Hitchings (Strangers on a Train, Landmarq), Andy Sears (Twelfth Night), Paul Manzi (Arena, Oliver Wakeman Band), and Damian Wilson (Threshold, Headspace). With an excellent line-up of musicians, including Mark Westwood (guitars), Scott Higham (drums), Claudio Momberg (piano), Kylan Amos (bass), and of course Clive Nolan himself, the show guarantees to provide an outstanding musical experience for all fans of well-written and perfectly performed ambitious prog music. The DVD recorded in February in Wyspiański Theater (Katowice, Poland), is enriched by a number of additional features, such as interviews with Clive Nolan, Agnieszka Świta, David Clifford, Scott Higham, and Mark Westwood, as also “The Making of Alchemy” material. Live version of “Alchemy” will be available also in a special edition box which includes live DVD, two CDs with an audio version of the show, a bonus DVD with a number of features providing deeper insight into what the project is all about, as also a bonus CD featuring exclusive demos, alternative versions of the songs and more! The release date of the DVD and 2DVD+3CD Box is scheduled for September, 9th in Poland, September, 25th in Europe and October, 1st in USA (via MVD). Tracklist: DVD: Act I: Act II: Bonus video: Extras: Bonus DVD: 1. Alchemy Advert CD 1 – Alchemy Live Act I: 1. Prologue CD 2 – Alchemy Live Act II: 1. The Labyrinth Bonus CD: 1. Overture - Song of the Dark |

Cannot wait for this!! 'Alchemy' has been the absolute no. 1 album of the year for me, and Clive Nolan has simply outdone himself on it. The highest point of his wonderful career to date, and more adventurous Neo fans should take a gamble on this amazing rock opera.
Seeing some of those 'Amelia' tracks performed live will be sublime! Edited by Aussie-Byrd-Brother - July 03 2013 at 15:14 |

I think I may have to jump on a plain to see this! I'd love it. What a great time I would have.
I adore the album, especially for its innovation in relation to Progressive Rock. A Theatrical gem of an album. I gave it 5 Stephen Seagal pony tails in my review. ;) |

Bloody cheeky bugger lol! I havent had that hair for a loooooong time now, apparently I look more like Neal Morse now, might have to post an updated pic! 
I think, from the way I read it, that two of the three CD's are of the live performance of this DVD, not the same double studio album again? Any way, Lord Jagman, I intend to snap it up!

Well my dear Morse. If you are right, then I'll be doing the same.
JAGMAN out. 
I thought you'd pick up on the pony tail reference. Nothing gets by you for a quality laugh. Good work sir. 
P.s I still have not seen the ponytail hayday photo yet. If you send it to me I promise I won't laugh. Hey listen. I've got a giant beard now like Alan Parsons in the 70's. Lol |

Clive Nolan
(Pendragon, Arena, Strangers on A Train) returns in September with a DVD
featuring a live version of his most ambitious solo project to date – the rock
musical “Alchemy”. Brought to life by a host of artists well
known on the prog-rock scene, “Alchemy” is a Victorian adventure set in 1842,
with a sense of the dark and mysterious. Clive
Nolan: 'Alchemy' is for me the biggest musical and artistic challenge I have
ever attempted. I really didn't expect a bigger 'mountain' to climb than the
'She' project, but I was wrong. This show is simply larger in structure and
depth. By the time we do the Cheltenham shows, it will have been four years of
my life!
The musical sees the return of many
actors known from the Caamora Theatre Company’s previous productions of “She” –
Clive Nolan, Agnieszka Świta, David Clifford, Victoria
Bolley, Chris Lewis, Becky Carter, Ben Perkins and Soheila
Clifford – aided by such remarkable singers as Tracy
Hitchings (Strangers on a Train, Landmarq), Andy Sears
(Twelfth Night), Paul Manzi (Arena, Oliver Wakeman Band), and
Damian Wilson (Threshold, Headspace). With an excellent line-up
of musicians, including Mark Westwood (guitars), Scott
Higham (drums), Claudio Momberg (piano), Kylan
Amos (bass), and of course Clive Nolan himself, the show guarantees to
provide an outstanding musical experience for all fans of well-written and
perfectly performed ambitious prog music.
The DVD recorded in February in Wyspiański Theater (Katowice, Poland), is enriched by a number of additional features, such as interviews with Clive Nolan, Agnieszka Świta, David Clifford, Scott Higham, and Mark Westwood, as also “The Making of Alchemy” material. Live version of “Alchemy” will be available also in a special
edition box which includes live DVD, two CDs with an audio version of the show,
a bonus DVD with a number of features providing deeper insight into what the
project is all about, as also a bonus CD featuring exclusive demos, alternative
versions of the songs and more!
The release date of the DVD and 2DVD+3CD Box is
scheduled for September, 9th in Poland, September, 25th in Europe and October,
1st in USA (via MVD).

Clive Nolan
(Pendragon, Arena, Strangers on A Train) returns in late September with a DVD
featuring a live version of his most ambitious solo project to date – the rock

with a sense of the dark and mysterious. The musical sees the return of many

The DVD recorded in February in Wyspiański Theater (Katowice, Poland), is enriched by a number of additional features, such as interviews with Clive Nolan, Agnieszka Świta, David Clifford, Scott Higham, and Mark Westwood, as also “The Making of Alchemy” material. And today you can see the preview of the
DVD. It’s available on Metal Mind Productions’ YouTube channel in THIS location.
Live version of “Alchemy” will be available also in a special
edition box which includes live DVD, two CDs with an audio version of the show,
a bonus DVD with a number of features providing deeper insight into what the
project is all about, as also a bonus CD featuring exclusive demos, alternative
versions of the songs and more! The release date of the DVD and
2DVD+3CD Box is scheduled for September, 23rd in
Poland, September, 30th in Europe and October,
1st in USA (via MVD).
The 'Alchemy' shows in Cheltenham will take
place over three days at the Playhouse Theatre on 5th, 6th and 7th
September 2013. The audience will have a chance to see the principal
cast in the three evening shows. Additionally, a matinee show performed by the
understudies will take place on Saturday afternoon. Cheltenham production will
be a fully theatrical version of the musical featuring eleven leading
characters, the band and the Caamora Company Chorus. The preparations for the
performances began in autumn 2012.
Clive Nolan comments: „So… we have just finished the
'production rehearsal weekend, and I think it's fair to say we are all
exhausted! We covered an immense amount of ground, and hats off to all the cast
and crew who attended… That was a lot of work and energy, but there it was… a
show! It just need placing into the Playhouse, and those essential 'dress
rehearsals', then that's it… 'Alchemy' on stage! I'm looking forward to it with
a large mixture of emotions… ;) Well done everybody!"

I said the Alchemy Box Set shall be mine and it has become just that.
Gave it a 5 in my review for it. Andy Sears was certainly a highlight for me watching Alchemy Live. He killed it as the ruthless Lord Henry Jagman and I've bit heard too many rock opera performances than Sears's vocal delivery in the track THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS. Wow. |

I saw a lot of good reviews for the studio album and the DVD, though I'm not entirely sure if I should get that one since most of Neo Prog albums are not my cup of tea. The thing is that I love Pendragon

Well, this one also doubles as a theatrical stage musical, Sagi, which I was quite worried about - who knew I would love it so much! Turned out it was my numbero uno disc of 2013! Very addictive, and quite simply the greatest thing Clive Nolan has ever been involved with, and I adore Pendragon (and much of Arena) as well! |

The box set is very expensive at 60 euros ( about £40 + P&P) direct from the record company or £47 on play.com. Much cheaper to buy the CD's and DVD seperately although presumably there wouldn't be some of the bonus material?

My friend. I think starting with with studio version is a very nice start and far less intimidating. If you and up loving the Studio version you'll have no choice but to upgrade to the live boxsets.
If love Pendragon you'll get Scott Hignam on drums and that is the only similarity or connection you find to Pendragon unfortunately for ya. This album is very very different. It's basically les miserables, phantom of the Opera with a slight kick of Neo symphonic tendencies (Aryeon) It's a rock opera and their is really not much like it. I think Alchemy is an album you'll either love or hate. No in between. I can really understand how this album can't be everyone's cup of tea but if you love broadway musicals and Aryeon's multi-tier vocal collaborations this album is gonna be for you. I hope you'll get something out of it, but don't go poring your hard earned cash to this box set just yet. Definitely go with studio first. Catch ya later mr. RAJAZ. :) |

Tons of bonus material my friend. 17 bonus tracks and three documentaries with character profiles (Stig videos) for each. Its a real beauty, but yes it's price tag is weighty. Kind of like these Pink Floyd anniversary and immersion edition albums.
