A couple days ahead of Geoffrey Downes' 70th birthday, we talked about his first solo album, The Light Program, released under both his name and The New Dance Orchestra moniker in 1987. Plus, we did a little review of the recent release Synthesizer Classics, which includes Downes, Patrick Moraz, and Rick Wakeman each on different tracks. And lastly, we touch on a tiny bit of Downes Braide Association news. If you like what we do, join us again on facebook.com/Yesshift Tuesday, August 23 at 5:30pm PDT when we do a Roger Dean-themed discussion.
