A new edition of our slice of prog music happenings for November 2025. We start with the sad news of John Lodge’s passing. John was not only the bass player for the Moody Blues, but also wrote and sang some of their most enduring classics such as “Ride My See Saw” and “I’m Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Band,” in addition to a long solo career. RIP.

We discuss new and upcoming releases from King Crimson, Rick Wakeman, Mike Oldfield and more. And some new prog books are either just out or forthcoming, including an autobiography from Gentle Giant singer and music industry executive Derek Schulman. Finally, Jay walks us through the new book on Yes tour programs through the years from the Gottlieb Brothers.

Join us for a journey through space and time with Pink Floyd! This episode covers the albums from Dark Side of the Moon through The Endless River, and everything in between. Except Live 8; we forgot to mention the Live 8 reunion. Also, please excuse some minor sound issues.

Pink Floyd created many sounds and approaches that formed the backbone for a lot of the progressive music. The band also perfected the use of space and atmosphere in their music that defined electronic and space music for years to come. Enjoy the ride!

We’re back with the second part of our take on the music of Jon Anderson and Vangelis (Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou) — from Private Collection to Page of Life and beyond.

While their songs were each a short story sharing a page of life, some of Jon’s lyrics were better left in his private collection. But that never seemed to bother these two friends of Mr. Cairo. Let us go out of the mist into tropical splendor!

Here’s the second part of our trip through the Led Zeppelin discography, highlighting some of the band’s more prog moments over the years. We cover the studio albums from Physical Graffiti through Coda, the posthumous vault release.

Led Zeppelin had many progressive moments across their albums, and not just because of the occasional Mellotron! In this episode, we revisit the band’s early days and their first five albums, through House of the Holy. We’ll cover the rest of their albums in the next episode.

We take a look at some new and upcoming releases and reissue in the progressive rock world. Along the way, we also talk about some 80s music and prog double albums. And it wouldn’t be an episode without mentioning Yes.
