This week I’ve got another boatload of great (mostly) new Progressive Rock from Kenny McCormick, Red Bazar, The Room, Ed Wynne, Voices From The Fuselage, Manuel Schmid and Marek Arnold, Overhead, and The Enid! As if that wasn’t enough, there will also be a Progressive Discoveries segment with our friend and resident reviewer Dr. Rob Fisher, on a great project called Zeelley Moon! Patrick Molesworth of Zeelley Moon even provides some commentary!
This week’s Prog-Watch is a variety program with a few special features! There will be a little feature on Thomas Thielen and a sneak peek at the next “t” album called Solipsystemology! (Thomas loves those titles that just roll off the tongue, doesn’t he?) I also have a Guest DJ, Bill Dunaway of High Ridge, Missouri, USA! Bill checks in with some of his Prog Rock favorites, and I mix in a few newer tracks, as well. So in addition to the “t” music, you can expect a boatload of great stuff, new and old, from the likes of Bill Bressler, Yes, Duke 72, Vangelis, Red Bazar, Big Big Train, Dreamwalkers Inc, and Spock’s Beard!
THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #298 (Considering The Future)
Things change in an instant….. Life goes on as it usually does, until the unexpected occurs… and your life is forever changed.
Well, that’s us… but what about countries, and society as a whole? Change there is slower… or so it seems. But despite the perceived stagnation… change does happen.
This week we’ll listen to tunes about social change as a window to the future.
Yes, (good or bad) it’s another one of those ‘themed’ shows… ;o)
THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #289 (Playin’ What I Want To)
There comes a time when a DJ plays music on his show, simply because he wants to. Being the master of the realm, the DJ plays and the listeners… uh, listen.
Well, that’s really not the case with me, but, I will be picking the tunes this week… and I have no doubt you’ll find we have similar taste in music. So join me to listen to some of your soon-to-be favorites. ;o)
THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #286
(Veterans / Armistice / Remembrance Day 2018)
We owe a lot… to a few. And while playing music is far from adequate, it’s what The Progressive Tracks Show can do to commemorate their sacrifice.
Join me this week for some music appropriate for the day.
Remember, you can stream/download this, and any of the 125 previous editions of The Progressive Tracks Show broadcast on Progzilla Radio, any time you want at: http://www.progzilla.com/?s=progressive+tracks.
PLAYLIST:
Hanford Flyover – “Just Another Day” from Just Another Day – Single on Independent
If you missed this week’s Prog-Watch, you can still listen HERE
On this week’s show we are catching up with the Jonses! Or at least one of the Joneses…namely, our friend Peter Jones of Tiger Moth Tales! Peter had a helluva year in 2016, from guesting on albums by Red Bazar and The Colin Tench Project, to live Tiger Moth Tales gigs with a full band, and even touring Japan as part of the legendary Camel! I caught up with him late last year and we discussed all of this and more. Plus, I play a lot of great music in between the chat, so in the words of Yoda, “miss it not!”
Review by siLLy puPPy — Emerging from the far northern Chilean city of Arica, EGREGOR has so far released two albumsbeginning with 2015's "Karma" and took off many years to craft the followup. Finally after setbacksdue to the pandemic and other world madness, EGREGOR at last returned in 2020 with its sophomoreoffering PACHAKUTI which features […]
Review by Rivertree — È uno spettacolo, vero e proprio! I suspect NODO GORDIANO (Gordian Knot) is the child of multi-instrumentalist Andrea De Luca. When searching through the band history, which started sometime in the mid 1990's, he seems to be the sole constant. Focused on developing experimental rock music, partially close to the likes […]
Review by alainPP — LIKE WENDY is the Dutch instrumental project of Bert Heinen, created in 1998. Known from the year 2000, I remember a good neo-prog at MARILLION as references but lacking pure creation. He tells on his 9th album a part of his childhood on the stories of fishermen of yesteryear, hence the […]
Review by prog_traveller!! — The latest album from Steven Wilson The future bites represents truly the worst work that he has done, it really does not matter that he changed the sound on this album, what matters is that this is not good at all. Boring songs filled with synth pop elements. I will not […]
Review by siLLy puPPy — In the 21st century there seem to be two major trends. Retro bands that strive to bring metal backto its more simplistic roots and wildly experimental acts that are hell bent for leather in drivingthe genre forward into almost unrecognizable territories. The Portland, Oregon act VICTORY OVER THESUN is definitely […]
Review by Rivertree — Since several years now THE REBEL WHEEL from Ontario remains a trio around key figure David Campbell (guitars). Andrew Burns (bass) and drummer Alex Wickham are on his side when it comes to the studio recordings. Important to know, all of them are also relying on the keyboard as well as […]
Review by lukretio — In my experience, when an artist advertises their new work with the words "We have decided to give the people what they kept asking for", that normally does not bode terribly well. However, if the man saying those words is Therion's mastermind Christofer Johnsson, whose latest two controversial and fan-challenging releases […]
Review by nick_h_nz — [Originally published at The Progressive Aspect]In 2020, I reviewed Sada, the second collaboration between the Spanish jazz fusion and RIO guitarist Ángel Ontalva and members of Russian psychedelic space-prog rockers Vespero. I made the comment that I have enjoyed several of their releases, but somehow missed their first collaboration. Needless to […]
Review by kev rowland — There is no doubt in my mind that one of the most exciting drummers to come out of the scene in the last 30 years has been Nick D'Virgilio, who of course these days can be found behind the kit for Big Big Train, and while he recorded with Genesis […]
Review by Steve Conrad — Jazz-tinged Layered Keyboard WhimsyFrançois ThollotDear friends: this French musician sets out to celebrate, yes to celebrate- when so many are glum, morose, if not actively hostile, resistant and insistent- that most universal of human experiences.And what is that?Limitations. We wish we were tall, but alas! We are quite short. We […]
