Cyan

 

Founder Rob Reed decided to revive Cyan a few years ago. Reed (also known for Magenta) surrounds himself with excellent musicians who have made their mark in bands such as The Tangent, Karnataka and Magenta. But what really sets this band apart from Reed's other work is the addition of Peter Jones on vocals. Peter is known for Camel and Tiger Moth Tales.

The Watch


The Italian progband The Watch is known for their brilliant interpretation of Genesis music. The Watch manages to capture the adventurousness and raw emotion of Genesis in their pioneering days. The dramatic voice of the singer, spitting image of a young Peter Gabriel, and the all-round excellence of the musicians therefore give you the opportunity to experience the old Genesis. Steve Hackett: ‘The Watch is a band of very talented people and I recommend them.’

The Paradox Twin

                    Inhalo

Inhalo is as diverse as alternative, progressive rock band can be. A harmonious mix of serene, stormy, tension and release. Inhalo is no newcomer; all band members have earned their stripes by playing shows in bands such as A Liquid Landscape, Ivy's Dream and The Heaven's Devil and as support for the likes of Karnivool, Riverside and Marillion, among others. Dutch heavy metal magazine Aardschok wrote about their debut: 'a performance of international allure'. Debut album Sever is a passionate, musical journey about dealing with fears and the possibility of growth. A journey where beauty can lull you into a false sense of security, before the ground is torn from under your feet and you plunge into a sea of fire.
