There's another couple of bands (featuring Clive Nolan): Shadowland and Medicine Man. What do you think about mentioned acts?
I really enjoyed the first 2 Shadowland albums "Roses" & "Looking Glass" when they came out (even got the "Ferryman" EP) but wasn't overly impressed by the 3rd album "Mad as a Hatter". Still got them but haven't played them for years now.
I do remember having at least one Medicine Man album but it went in a clear-out some years back, again, it didn't really press the right buttons for me.
"Strangers on a Train" was/is my favourite Clive side project ;D
(although I suppose you could argue that Arena was a side project to Shadowland and Pendragon when it first kicked off ;) )
CD"Roses" is my favourite too. Although, Clive is not Damian or Moon(as a singer). If you don't mind, there's a number of rather decent tracks on Medicine Man debut CD. ;)

I really don't remember (it obviously didn't leave much of an impression..!!) - but I'll take your word for it ;) . Anyway, it would get really boring if we all liked the same stuff ;D
The reason why I've bought Medicine Man's cd"The Journey" is obvious: Clive Nolan, Peter Gee and Karl Groom were participants of this project. But who of us wasn't fooled by the names? >:( If only once in a lifetime.. .
I don' agree with Moonloop (forgive me! ;) ).... I think "Looking... " is the worst of the three albums.... I find it a little boring and with very few original ideas...
although "Mindgames" is one of my favourite....
On the contrary, I really love the third ".. hatter", especially such great songs as U.S.I., The Seventh Year, the title-track or even the beautiful Salvation Comes.... Simply great!
About "Ring.."... there's no doubt: it's one step forward the others!! Wonderful, from the first note to the last!!
I think it's a pity we can't year nothing new for years...... :'(
Let's console us with the forthcoming third "Strangers.. " album!! Yeah, finally!!! 8)
Bye.

Yep.....roll on Strangers 3Â ;D
I like Looking Glass a little more than the others. I wonder if it is possible that there will ever be another Shadowland CD. I really like Clive's singing. :)
I was just digging in these topics here and found out about this one...
One question...
WHAT IS MEDICINE MAN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Never heard of it....
I have no idea. :-\
But i looked it up for you. :)
here ;D (http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_CD.asp?cd_id=2476)
I liked the first album, which contained some pop-prog (shorter songs, but with space for solos). The sound was very familiar, with Karl and Clive on keys and guitar. I loved Ian 'Moon' Gould and it's a pity he didn't record a lot since. He's very Mercury-like..
