Once again Ed Unitsky has manifested stunning images for the new Tangent CD/DVD release album -- Going Off On One exemplifying the title -- a lone man stands at the opening of a new journey. This is the fourth album cover artwork Ed has completed for the Tangent.

Falling on the heels of the 10th Annual Dutch Progressive Rock Poll Awards - artwork for The Tangent's A Place In The Queue won by a landslide! Ed previously topped the poll in 2003 with his artwork for The Music That Died Alone and he was third in 2004 for The World That We Drive Through. With the Tangent placing 3rd in the Best Album Category and 3rd in the Best Track Category.

Inside Out is quoted as [saying], "With the already existing three studio albums, the Tangent have proved that even today you can still pull a dedicated fanbase with classic progressive rock. The fact that The Tangent are also an excellent live band is demonstrated in a very special manner on their first DVD Going Off On One."



Recorded in a relaxed atmosphere at a club in the UK, this DVD shows how much fun prog live shows can be and of course, what essential role the synthesiser in this genre plays ? frontman and keyboardist Andy Tillison is a master of his trade, who simply knows how to tease out goose bumps sounds of an old analogue gem.

Going Off On One is available as limited luxury edition with DVD and double CD in a slipcase that is limited to 3000 copies, and also as double CD only. The DVD contains a bonus live recording of Tillison's first band, which was formed in 1981. The double CD features, in addition to the DVD titles, four further tracks including cover versions of "21st Century Schizoid Man" by King Crimson and "America" by The Nice.
