2009 element of the project started with reviews of Big Big...

It's been a bit of a busy week in Lazland, so only one new album review added today, but it is a good one. Bjørn Riis, Everything to Everyone, added to Album Reviews 2022 page. Hopefully I will be...

I enjoy most of the output, and Pete’s comments about the decline in readership and increase in “watchership” are amply borne out by the struggles that a lot of websites and printed press have these...

Yep. Still a great voice and, imo, a decent looker as well!

My wife, it is fair to say, “puts up” with my music, and accompanied me to shows once or twice a year (we don’t go to many any longer as we care for her elderly mother and can’t leave her alone). My...

Further historic album reviews from 2010 added to Album Reviews by Year Page. Reviews of Odyssice, Kaipa, Lebowski, Jon Anderson, Mostly Autumn, Argos, Paatos, Matt Stevens, and All Over Everywhere....

First selection of historic 2010 album reviews added to Album Reviews By Year page. Reviews of David Minasian, Haken, Gazpacho, Spock’s Beard, Lunatic Soul, Peter Gabriel, Asia, The Reasoning, Mars...

Whoops! Freudian slip, or what? :D

Website updated today with reviews of albums by Ou, Von Hertzen Brothers, and Held By Trees, all on Album Reviews 2022 page.

As the day progresses, I will finish off historical album reviews from...

In the UK, per Companies House data, Howe, Bruford, White, and Wakeman are directors of Yes Music Ltd (CRN 00701157). Anderson’s name does not appear.

Howe, Bruford, and White are directors of...

I am on holiday this week, so a busy one ahead.

Uploaded tonight.

Book Review page updated with All In It Together by Alwyn Turner.

Video of the Week - Bill Bruford.

Historic 2011 album...

I loved Blue Powder Monkey and Take A Look from that album, so it was nowhere near the worst album ever released to these ears.

Ale of the Week updated and some sports musings in the Beer & News Pages.

Album reviews updated with Comedy of Errors from 2013, and Airs, Hogarth & Barbieri, 3rd Degree, Steve Hackett, The...

This is the first I have heard of this, but I do agree it sounds very plausible, and it would be interesting to see if there are any other pieces of evidence to support it.

I really liked the video, for sure, and this will be a definite purchase on release.

Reviews of new albums by Pure Reason Revolution and Talisk (a Scottish modern folk band) added to Album Reviews of 2022.

Plus a couple of historic reviews of Transatlantic & Frequency Drift added...

Jed, iTunes have him as T, so a capital as opposed to the small form. They have five of his albums available to download as a digital purchase. If you Google the album titles, which are fairly...

Thank you! Yes, he is a seriously talented and interesting artist.

In addition to the exclusive interview with t, I have also uploaded a review of Return To The Earth's new album to Album Reviews of 2022, and video of the week this time features the late, great Alan...

I usually update my new content in the "What's New" section of the forum, but I think this deserves a wider audience.

I have uploaded to my website an exclusive interview with t (Thomas Thielen)...

Nice little piece. The pair of them are gloriously eccentric.

A fitting finale to a wonderful series. I love this band, I think the world of all of its members, and they come across as I have always remembered them, that is open, honest, and English (in the...

So incredibly sad. What a legend. Thank you Alan for some damned fine musical memories, and love and best wishes to his family.

New review of Kaipa, Urskog, added to Album Reviews of 2022.

This is absolutely right. The last time I saw Pendragon in Wales some 12 years ago now, it was at a 500 capacity venue, and IQ have only played The Met in Bury and The Venue in London for a while...

It is an absolutely fantastic album and I love it and the exceptional stories behind it, as wonderfully described by moecurlythanyou above. As part of a continued shameless campaign on my part,...

If you had Pendy alongside IQ, you might just fill it, but not on their own anymore, sadly.

New reviews of Somali Yacht Club and Alex Carpani added to New Albums of 2022 page.

Review of Lighthouse Sparrows debut album, Aerials, added to Album Reviews of 2022 page.

Video of the Week updated - live Procol Harum (Salty Dog & Old English Dream)

New reviews of Frost*,...

A huge shame but rather expected, I am afraid.

First part of album reviews of 2011 added to Album Reviews By Year Page. There are quite a few more to follow.

Fantastic! Enjoy!

Ah, a chap after my own heart! When in doubt, always head to the bar first :ipa

Hope you enjoy the rest.

I listened to Carpani’s version of Starless earlier and jolly good it is too.

Absolutely right on both counts. The Cardiff show last autumn we went to was simply stunning, and he really captured the imagination and admiration of my 20 year old son, which is fantastic.

And nothing else?:huh

It is a lump of three small rocks south of Sicily in the Mediterranean. Gozo, the second island is still very lovely. Parts of the main island remain beautiful, but it is shockingly overdeveloped.

You would love Horizon from Private Collection, seriously. The first side also contains some beautiful pieces of music. I first fell in love with I Hear You Now from Short Stories. It was a huge hit...

A huge loss to music. His collaboration with Jon was especially important to all serious music lovers.

Our world is poorer, but heaven is richer.

Jed, it is a bit of a long story, so I will try to explain as succinctly as I can.

My paternal grandmother was Maltese. My grandfather married her in 1936. He was from Sunderland in NE England....

It is going really well, thank you. I can view traffic from the provider and it is increasing week by week. I am not actually that obsessive by the traffic. The whole point of the site is for me to...

Updated with new album reviews of Ghost Toast and Pattern Seeking Animals. Simply go to Album Review 2022 Page and click on the links.

New Gigs Section added to Beer & News Page and News of Fusion...

I think it was just vastly over produced in that ubiquitous ‘80’s way. I still think there are some really good tracks on that album. Midnight Sun, The Smile Has Left Your Eyes, The Last To Know. All...

Absolutely agree. They are best as a collective.

Well, let us hope so! I have started the change tonight, and added a number of reviews from 2012. That was a very prolific year for me, so this is only the first part. I have basically run out of...

Okay, Sunday morning with a slight hangover after a heavyish night, but here goes.

When I set up the website, what I wanted to do was to transplant my historical reviews from Prog Archives (I...

That is a really good question, and the answer is pretty complicated. Given that it was gone midnight when I saw this post, and I really want to give you a considered response, I will post tomorrow.

Shameless self-promo is a mighty fine beast, imo. This sounds like something I would really enjoy, so will give it a spin over the course of the weekend.

Please do take a look at Red Rain Ukraine, a video I have posted on the Ukraine section of Beer & News Page on the website. It is absolutely astonishing and deserves a very wide audience. If you are...

I am not sure that I could justify £35 for a book about a band I love unless there was anything strikingly new in there, but I have bookmarked the site, because there is some interesting stuff there.

Let’s hope that he has a mild dose like the majority of us with this new variant. A friend of mine went on his first cruise since lockdown the other week to the Mediterranean, and he had a dose when...

I have thoroughly enjoyed your reports from the cruise.

I was going to add top albums of 2013, but time defeated me tonight. However, before I upload that in the next couple of days, there is the Ale of the Week on the Beer & News Page. On the same page,...

That is a really nice interview. Howe comes across as an exceptionally nice bloke on this. No nastiness, loads of respect, and simply very pleasant.

New albums by Magnum, Winter In Eden, and Electric Mud added to Album Reviews 2022 page.

There is a download option on iTunes. Looking forward to listening to this over the weekend.

Yes, that Battle of Epping Forest is really interesting, and the first time I have heard, let alone seen, any of it live. I must be honest, I wasn’t even aware they performed it on stage until seeing...

New albums reviews uploaded tonight. Moon Halo (a distinct highlight of 2022 thus far) and Knight Area. Simply go to Album Reviews 2022 Page.

New video of the week on the front page of the site....

Top Ten Albums of 2014 added to Top Ten Albums By Year page, a damned fine year actually.

Photo of Beltain Festival added to News Page.

I am hoping to have an exciting and interesting exclusive...
