Prog-Watch

This week I'm spinning fabulous stuff from The Room, The Franky Valentyn Project, Residuos Mentales, John Lodge, Premiata Forneria Marconi (or PFM, for short), Grand Tour, and Now In Colour! Plus, our friend and resident reviewer, Dr. Rob Fisher, will be taking us on a voyage of Progressive Discovery with the German duo Manuel Schmid and Marek Arnold, with a look at their collaborative album called Zeiten! So kick back and get ready to rock...progressively, of course!

This week on Prog-Watch I'm chatting with the talented and prolific Andrew Colyer! Aside from his work with his own band Circuline, Andrew has guested on many side projects, released solo piano albums, and done soundtrack work, as well. He will also be touring later this year with Robert Berry in the live band for Robert's 3.2 project. Andrew and I talked about all of this and more, and in this week's program you can hear some of our chat. Of course there will also be a boatload of great music from Circuline, his solo piano albums and soundtracks, and a project called The Prog Rock Orchestra! I hope you will join us!

Steve and I chat about the early days of the band and the role that television shopping played in getting them going, among other things.
