Dave Kilminster's street team posted some CD update information:
Great news!!! We're pleased to announce that Dave will be reuniting with bass player/vocalist extraordinaire John Wetton and incredible drummer Pete Riley for the new Wetton-Downes' iCon project. This will mark the first time Dave has worked with keyboard wizard Geoffrey Downes and Cellist Hugh McDowell, whose trademark sound characterised much of the Electric Light Orchestra's popular work.

Dave has played many times with John Wetton as part of the John Wetton Band, and also (along with Asia/ELP drummer Carl Palmer) in the highly acclaimed band Qango.

Dave has also toured extensively with Pete Riley; first with (Uriah Heep's) Ken Hensley, and then later as part of the Keith Emerson Band... Pete also added his unique brand of rhythmic innovation on Dave's solo album 'Scarlet'... :O)

John Wetton and Geoff Downes have just finished a highly successful global tour as part of the Reunion of the Original Members of Asia, and also produced a best selling album of all-new memorable classics, Phoenix as part of that band. John and Geoff's song writing formed much of the fabric of Asia's work; this album marks their third iCon studio project.

Dave has just returned from a two year world wide tour on guitar and lead vocals with Roger Waters' Dark Side of the Moon project, playing to millions of fans. He has also embarked on a partnership of acoustic guitar and vocals with singer Murray Hockridge, whose extraordinary voice spans more than three octaves. The blend of intricate guitar and soaring vocals is hailed by fans and critics alike.

This third iCon studio album will be recorded in fourth quarter 08, with a release and tour to follow in early 2009.
