1975 LP that has been both reissued (with different atwork/tracks) and counterfeited.
Victor Peraino was the American keyboard player for Arthur Brown’s Kingdom Come, a band often overlooked in the pantheon of UK progressives. Following the group’s final album Journey, Peraino returned to the States, and somehow retained the rights to the group name. Details are sketchy, but according to legend only 100 copies of “No Man’s Land” were pressed making this a major rarity selling for four figures more often than not. A follow-up EP, We’re Next, containing a new version of the big hit “Fire,” was recorded and released in 1981 which is almost as rare. Peraino’s Mellotron use is, again, quite magnificent, with lashings of strings, choir, cellos and brass all over the album. There are too many individual highlights to name but some of them deserve special attention: “Lady Of The Morning”, the brilliant opening “Sun Set Sail”, the strong “Demon Of Love,” “Garden of Death” (a little Hawkwind style) and “Empires Of Steel”. No Man’s Land is a true progressive rock masterpiece. An absolute Mellotron monster that is highly recommended for fans of prog-rock.
