Prog-Watch

This week on Prog-Watch I'm shaking the family tree of a favorite band from my youth...The Alan Parsons Project! We'll be playing some classics from the band, exploring some offshoots and forerunners, and sampling the solo work of some of the core vocalists and musicians who made up the collective. We'll hear from the Project proper, as well as Keats, Pilot, Dave Paton, Colin Blunstone, Lenny Zakatek, and Chris Rainbow, and we'll check out some post-Project stuff from the two founders of the Project, Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson.

This week on Prog-Watch we have a very special edition of Progressive Discoveries, hosted by Dr. Rob Fisher himself!

Before and after this special feature, I've got a variety of great new stuff from Wobbler, Looking-Glass Lantern, Karfagen, ZEH, Gleb Kolyadin, and the Von Hertzen Brothers!

This week on Prog-Watch my special guests are the gentlemen from the German duo, Clouds Can!

Aside from the Clouds Can music, I'm also spinning a few other great tunes by The Wood Demons, Armed Cloud, Servants Of Science, and Michael Crimson!
