PALLAS were at the vanguard of the so-called Neo Prog movement which emerged in the UK in the early 1980s. Hailing from Aberdeen, the roots of band went back as far as 1974, but by 1980 Pallas had settled upon a line-up of EUAN LOWSON (vocals), GRAEME MURRAY (bass, guitar, vocals), NIALL MATTHEWSON (guitar), RONNIE BROWN (keyboards) and DEREK FORMAN (drums) and had begun to earn a devoted cult following in Scotland. A UK tour with MARILLION saw PALLAS perform at The Marquee Club in London and their self-released live album ‘Arrive Alive’ began to attract attention from the major record labels.
Appearing at the Reading Festival in 1983, Pallas then signed to EMI’s Harvest label and recorded the album ‘The Sentinel’ with former Yes and ELP producer Eddy Offord. The album reached the UK Top 50 in 1984 and was later remixed for release in the USA and is now regarded as a classic of the neo prog era. The following year Euan Lowson departed the band to be replaced by vocalist ALAN REED. This revised line-up recorded ‘The Knightmoves’ EP issued that year and also recorded a live concert for the “Live in London” TV series. The band’s next album ‘The Wedge’ was another UK chart entry. After a dormant period of some years Pallas re-emerged in 1999 and have continued to record and occasionally tour, recently issuing their sixth studio album. The set also includes a lavishly illustrated booklet with essay by Pallas expert Mike Bentley and a poster.
