Licenced from Poland's Metal Mind for North American release, MVD Visual will be releasing in June four DVDs.

Pendragon - Past And Presence - This DVD features neo-prog rock's great eminence Pendragon in an exceptional show celebrating the 21st anniversary of the release of The Jewel album. On this very special occasion, the band decided to present to the audience an untypical setlist, including mostly songs from the band's classic debut The Jewel, and several other classics back from the Marquee Club days, plus a few surprises. The band also decided to perform in a special line-up, joining forces with other musicians from Pendragon's history: John Barnfield, Julian Baker, and Rik Carter. Get ready for nearly 2 hours of some of the best music that the neoprogressive genre has to offer!

SRP: $19.95, RUN TIME: 185mins, RELEASE DATE: June 5, 2007



NEO - Broadcast - This spectacular DVD features a performance by the supergroup NEO filmed at the Wyspianski Theater in Katowice, Poland. Formed by such prog-rock veterans as Mark Westwood (the Martin Orford Band), Clive Nolan (Arena, Pendragon, Shadowland), John Jowitt (IQ, Jadis) and Andy Edwards (IQ), NEO delights the neo progressive crowd with a repertoire of songs from Shadowland, Arena, IQ, Pallas, and Pendragon. As Clive Nolan comments, NEO's main aim was to try and brake some new frontiers. The gig featured a guest appearance of two other eminent prog-rock figures: Pendragon's vocalist/guitarist Nick Barrett and Pallas' vocalist Alan Reed.

SRP: $19.95, RUN TIME: 140mins, RELEASE DATE: June 5, 2007

Andromeda - Playing Off The Board - Get ready for a strong dose of progressive metal! This Swedish quintet offers their trademark powerful and sublime compositions that are both structurally intricate and overflowing with a vast spectrum of emotions. The band went on a European tour in the autumn of 2006 to support the album Chimera and wrapped it up with a performance in Katowice, Poland, which resulted in this, their first live DVD. An hour and a half of progressive music at its very best, more than an hour of bonus video footage (featuring, among other materials, bootlegs and documents from the band's tour and gigs across Europe), two interviews and much more!
