Clive Nolan - The Works: 1st Album

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! 

I have over half of these!

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

Arena - Songs From The Lion's Cage

Gandalf's Fist followed by Arena.

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...

Interesting! English Ayreon?! My interest is piqued!!!

Heads off to find Alchemy on Spotify…….

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