Brilliant stuff of lonely tracks and many unreleaed material on CD for the first time. If you like sequences in the late 70s style or like Hoenigs Departure from the Northern Wastelands, this is the right choice. Also with Ruud Heij.

This is reliving the 70's all over again, TD resurrected once more. Brendan delivers the goods right on target. Loads of sequences, Mellotrons and more mellotrons what more could you possibly want/ask for. The genre of Spacemusic was born out of a hand-full of albums released by a few Berlin based groups in the mid-1970s.
Since that time, a great deal of music has been created which owes much to this faction's inspired early work. Of the multitude of albums produced, only a few manage to accurately re-create the mysterious moods and sprawling scale found on the originals. Add to this constellation Expansion (60'55") by Brendan Pollard. This album aspires to something beyond the mere imitation of the classics. Pollard's work is more about rediscovering the spacious minimalism responsible for the enigmatic character of the original than it is the process of moment-by-moment recreation.

This CD follows along the lines of his Expansion CD with loads of wonderful Mellotron sounds plus as an added bonus he's incorporated the sounds of a guest guitarist. 4 tracks totaling 73:26 minutes of Berlin School music. A massive gear list accompanies this new release. Flux Echoes (73'26") pulses within the aura of Ricochet, Rubycon and Phaedra.
With these classics enshrined (along with an impressive inventory of '70s era instruments) in his musical core, Brendan Pollard realizes music that melds thirty year old hopes and dreams with the possibilities of the 21st century.
The four tracks travel from regions of elemental expressive force and bursts of dazzling sequencer facility to moments of powerful stillness. This album is full of indulgent Mellotron pads, glittering synth modulations and throbbing modular rhythms - and may have listeners imagining their movement through space, or is it space that is moving through them? We are always at home in our past, yet Pollard's work encourages us to hear this music anew.
It's exciting to witness a musician, starting out in an age of digital idea-junkies, make the medium large again.
A must for the old school Tangerine Dream fans.

With the recent extraordinary Covid events I took time from our isolation and decided to perform some improvised pieces direct from the studio via Facebook Live. Sadly I missed the first few minutes of the first piece forgetting to press record, silly me, but the rest is captured in glorious stereo. Yes there's clicks and bumps, it's not perfect, it's Live. I decided to release these pieces along with similar pieces I had in the vaults, live studio sequencing, an alternate take of piece two, and an extract of another improvised piece.

After 8 years away from the live scene, I returned for a one off performance with my old synth technician Adrian Dolente at the Awakenings All Dayer back in 2018. Here's the master stereo recording of that gig, main set "Diffuser" and an Encore. There's also an extra studio piece from September 2019.

Once again, Brendan Pollard manages to charm by dressing the present of the past! PHRASES AND PROTOCOLS is a powerful Berlin School album with a mellotron as dominant as the sequencer dominated by the spirit of an arachnid able to weave its rhythm lines with a dexterity as unstoppable as his imagination. For fans of the 70's and especially of Tangerine Dream, even if I felt more than once the spirit of Adelbert Von Deyen over this album.

Incredibly it's been 13 years since my last proper solo CD release so it was time to remedy that situation. The new CD "Prologue" was recorded between 2019 and 2020 and features 3 tracks of analogue sequencing, mellotron, and modular goodness using original instruments.

Very nice pieces in the style of Klaus Schulze's Mirage and also TD's Sorcerer. With a lot of analogue sequences and mellotron sounds. A real journey back in time to 1976.

Way back in 2006 I promised my good friend Javi Canovas that we would one day make a collaboration cd. Some good friends joined us in the journey, Michael Daniel from Pollard Daniel Booth and my old synth technician Adrian Dolente. Lots of old friends lent some of my old equipment back to me and so during December 2012 and March 2013 Two Roads was recorded in three different locations, Bedford, Liverpool and Tenerife.

Earlier this year after 7 years away from the music scene Brendan managed to buy back some of gear he had to sell in 2011.
Set up in his new studio he invited his old PDB bandmates to come down for a jam. Over 4 days in the summer, through heatwave and storms, the band recorded several hours of material. Following more recording sessions in Michael's studio he produced the 4 tracks that comprise the new album Eight.
An album the band believe to be their best release so far.
