Artist: STRANGERS ON A TRAIN [ARENA, PENDRAGON, THRESHOLD]
Album: THE KEY PART I: THE PROPHECY RE-ISSUE (DIGI)

Year: 1990/ 2012
Media type: CD

The remastered re-release of the real progressive rock gem. Unavailable for several years, the debut album by the short lived outfit Strangers on a Train is available again in a new digipak edition. Strangers on a Train was formed in 1990 as a musical hybrid of talents comprising Clive Nolan (Arena, Pendragon, Shadowland, Caamora), Karl Groom (Threshold) and Tracy Hitchings (Landmarq). "The Key Part I: The Prophecy" (1990) is the beginning of The Key trilogy, an epic concept conceived by Clive Nolan, who also wrote all the music and lyrics. "The Prophecy" set out to be a performance album based on the strength of compositions, the skills of individual band members and a high level of emotional intensity. One could call it "chamber rock" - drawing from the roots of progressive rock, yet abandoning the unnecessary cliches that have always attached themselves to that genre of music. "The Prophecy" contains over an hour of thoroughly composed, well thought out, brilliantly performed music - sometimes haunting, sometimes soothing, versatile in style and just plain different, which makes for a unique listening experience.
