LIVE FROM LONDON

My main motivation to write a review about this DVD is to upgrade the poor two 3 star ratings! Many years ago I saw this concert on the European Super Channel, in a serie with other promising Eighties progrock bands like Twelfth Night and Pallas. My experience with this concert is very positive, especailly because of the very omnipresent Mellotron M400 work by Martin Offord. Meanwhile he has sold this unsurpassed keyboard but listening to this DVD I have to say that Martin did an excellent job with the Mellotron, in almost everything song he managed to add an extra dimension by touching that M400 model. Once he said in a progrock magaizne I worked for "If you got the idea that the music becomes too bombastic, THEN play the Mellotron!". Well, on this DVD you can witness this statement! If you got the idea that you have to buy this DVD only because of the mellotron you are right but the fiery and powerful guitarplay, the limited but very inspired and distinctive vocals and the compelling compositions are worth to buy this neo-prog highlight!

ESSENTIAL!!!!!!!!!
