Description: LONELY ROBOT is a British Crossover Prog solo project from journeyman guitarist John MITCHELL. Mihchell joined the progressive scene as the guitar player for supergroup ARENA in 1997. He had a big set of shoes to fill as he replaced outgoing Keith MORE (ASIA) but has done more than adequately remaining a mainstay with the band throughout their heyday, holding his own while trading solos off with prog legend Clive NOLAN (PENDRAGON). While maintaining his commitment to ARENA, MITCHELL continued to build his prog resume with THE URBANE, John WETTON (ASIA, KING CRIMSON), KINO, FROST*, IT BITES and most recently GALDALF'S FIST. In addition to his impressive guitar work, MITCHELL was also the lead singer for KINO and IT BITES. In 2014, MITCHELL decided it was time to do his own project. On the Inside Out record label's announcement, MITCHELL stated: ''I'd long thought about doing an album where I could have total control from start to finish with the music, lyrics, production, and choosing who I wanted to contribute - expanding from the idea of just a solo album. Musically, this album is very proggy, but more about atmosphere than technical expertise, inspired by my love of science fiction and interest in the evolution of the human race.'' His first album under the LONELY ROBOT moniker, ''Please Come Home'' was released in February 2015 and features a series of prog notables including standing drummer Craig BLUNDELL (Steven WILSON touring band, FROST*). The album also features guest appearances by Nick BEGGS (KAJAGOOGOO, Steven WILSON), Nik KERSHAW, Steve HOGARTH (MARILLION), Heather FINDLAY (MOSTLY AUTUMN) and Jem GODFREY (FROST*). MITCHELL's earthy voice is reminiscent of his time singing for IT BITES while the music is more akin to his work with FROST* and ARENA. Fans of MITCHELL's other bands as well as fans of atmospheric somewhat poppy prog may enjoy LONELY ROBOT.
