Pallas: The Midas Touch - The Recordings 1998 - 2007 (Box Set / 8 CD) [Blu-ray]

Nine-disc box set with eight CDs and one video Blu-ray disc. Contains Pallas' albums and concert videos from 1998 to 2007.

Pallas' roots go back to 1974, but in the early 1980s they were among the pioneers of the so-called neo-prog movement that had emerged in the UK. A UK tour with Marillion brought the band into contact with EMI Records, for whom they recorded two classic albums.

After losing their record deal following the release of their album "The Wedge", Pallas disbanded. After a long break, they returned in 1998 with Alan Reed (vocals), Graeme Murray (bass, guitar, vocals), Niall Matthewson (guitar), Ronnie Brown (keyboards) and Colin Fraser (drums) and released the album "Beat The Drum", which was enthusiastically received by the fans. This release marked the beginning of a new phase in the band's career.

The double live album "Live Our Lives" was released in 2000, followed a year later by the concept album "The Cross And The Crucible", another acclaimed studio album. As part of the promotional tour, they gave an unforgettable concert in the Boerderij in the Netherlands, at which former singer Euan Lowson appeared as a guest. The concert was recorded, filmed and released as the album and video "The Blinding Darkness". Another excellent studio album, "The Dreams Of Men", was released in 2005. In October 2007, Pallas gave a concert in Katowice, Poland, which was recorded and filmed again and released as the live album and video "Moment To Moment" in 2008.

This box set contains the tracks "Beat The Drum", "Live Our Lives", "The Cross And The Crucible", "The Blinding Darkness", "The Dreams Of Men" and "Moment To Moment", all remastered by Ronnie Brown. It also includes an illustrated booklet with an essay by Pallas expert and companion Mike Bentley.
