On this week's Prog-Watch I'm finishing up my coverage of composer and keyboard wizard Andrew Colyer (which began in Prog-Watch 314)! Andrew and I chat about many of his side projects, his upcoming tour with Robert Berry's 3.2, and what's next for his main band Circuline. Along the way there will be plenty of great music from Circuline, Andrew's solo and soundtrack work, and one from an album he did with the band Cell 15!
