Landmarq is a neo band that has flown under many people's radar over the years -- mine included. Which is a shame because their new live set Roadskill (supporting 2012's Entertaining Angels) has really made a believer out of me. Tracy Hitchings has bounced back from dealing with ovarian and breast cancer () and simply kicks ass all over the place here. Mike Varty is his usual keys wizard with some prog-gasmic solos and features throughout. The rest of the band are excellent, the mix is sublime, and the camera work and editing on the DVD are top-notch.
But what really makes this work for me is the songwriting and arranging. Either I didn't realize these guys were that good -- or they've gotten that much better. Anyways, fans of Shadowland, IQ, Pendragon, etc really need to check these guys out ASAP.
