Last night I finally found time to watch my Enid DVD that I got for Christmas. I knew it was going to be good but with this show The Enid have taken it to a totally new level. The sound is crystal clear, the playing is wonderful as ever and the visuals and camera work are spectacular without being flashy or over complicated. Joe Payne won the Prog Magazine Award for best vocalist last year and if you haven’t heard him yet I suggest you head to this you tube link without further ado. Enid You Tube  His range is out of this world. This song features his upper register but he is equally comfortable using his lower range. It is also great to see Robert John Godfrey enjoying his playing even though he is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease.

If you have never heard this band before, they are worth checking out. From their beginnings in 1976 with two classic all instrumental albums: Aerie Fairie Nonsense and In The Region Of The Summer Stars   which would appeal to fans of Genesis and the like to the modern day Enid with this line up. Journeys End and Evicta are the two most recent albums.

They have a new album out in April called Dust and I for one can’t wait
