STRANGERS ON A TRAIN was formed in 1990 as another of Clive NOLAN's projects. Nolan here is accompanied by Karl Groom and Tracy Hitchings, the singer for LANDMARQ. Nolan wrote all the music and lyrics for what is at some point supposed to be a trilogy of albums called "The Key". "The Key Part I: The Prophecy" was released in 1990 and its follow-up "The Key Part II: The Labyrinth" was released three years later in 1993. The band mixed in new age music and cinematic soundscapes into its neo-prog on these two releases.
Following the release of Part II, the band made a handful of live appearances. The plan was always to release three albums, but the members' success in other bands (ARENA/LANDMARQ/THRESHOLD etc.) put these plans on hold indefinitely. However, the first two CDs by the band have subsequently been rereleased by Verglas Music. Although it has been many years since the release of the first two parts, the members still plan to release Part III at some point.
