Mark Shreeve – Graveraver
Biography
His first cassettes, released by Mirage label were Ursa Major, Embryo, Phantom and Fire Music.
Although Shreeve hails from the UK, his first LP, Thoughts Of War, was released in Norway by Indie label Uniton.
The next album, Assassin was originally released in 83, also by Uniton. Then in 84, Jive Electro signed him up and re-released it. A year later he released Legion followed a couple of years later by Crash Head.
During the late 80s Shreeve also began writing songs for other artists, occasional soundtracks and some library music.
In 95 Shreeve released his last solo album, Nocturne. After this, he went on to form Redshift and continues to this day, releasing albums on his own label. Redshift have released five albums to date: Redshift, Ether, Downtime, Siren and Halo.
Shreeve’s music has been likened to Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre and Klaus Schulze.

I should probably get back to checking out Redshift. "Legion" is awesome.

Crashhead, Legion and Assassin are my fave albums..not keen on the new stuff he does nowadays. Wish he would go back to making albums like these! Saw him a few times live in the 80s and 90s..one word...brilliant!

Crashhead and Legion for storming sounds. At his best on this albums. Uplifting crossover power music with a dark edge that appeals to metal heads, goths and cyberpunks all at the same time. Hellraiser, Darkness comes, Storm Column (his hit track) etc. Andy Pickford then took over the gauntlet for power synth tracks in the 90's.

Saw this guy in concert in Sheffield in the 80's, same bill as Neuronium. He was wonderful and played a storming version of assassin. On the records I've heard, which isn't all of them, he's never lived up to this promise; assassin in particular sounds lifeless and tired. But I still think there's a potentially great track to be made out of this - but by whom?

If you can find Crash Head and Legion without a doubt his best offerings, also try Arc with Ian Boddy on the DIN label

You could try Andy Pickford, Bekki Williams or Ian Boddy.

Anyone know any similar artists. I'd use last.fm's similar artists but i'm not sure it's telling the truth, i remember being horrified by earlier recommendations from the site.
