If I'm kicking back smoking my pipe and reading I prefer listening to instrumental music.

The very first CD I ever purchased was "Octopus" from Gentle Giant and I can still remember the day when the music jumped from the speaker without first hearing that familiar crackle of the needle as...

When I'm looking for a classic Genesis album this seems to be the first one I pull out.

It's not a bad album - just not a Genesis album. But I guess there are many who might suggest there were no real Genesis albums after "Wind And Wuthering". I on the other hand like their entire...

There were also a pair of odd ducks from keyboardist Chuck Minuto recorded under the moniker Celluloid, they were "Mercury" and "Neptune". They were essentially Mellotron driven albums, dark and...

Another vote for Terraced Garden's two albums.

I've followed the band throughout their career and many incarnations, but from my own personal opinion I enjoyed their instrumental early period more so than the later period with vocals. Never...

Excellent album from the project band CYRIL "Gone Through Years" which is based on H.G. Wells "The Time Machine". Seems more like the remake of the film. The band is made up of members of Toxic...

Although Fish era Marillion is my favorite incarnation of the band I'd have to say that "She's Got Her Hooks In You" with Hogarth ranks right up there with 'Most Rockin' Prog Tunes'

I'm pretty lucky because my wife enjoys all manner of prog, so our tastes are quite compatible. But lately she's taken a real shine to the albums Cyril - "Gone Through Years" and Toxic Smile- "7"...

I recently pulled out my dusty copy of The Twelve Dreams Of Doctor Sardonicus from Spirit and almost forgot just how good that album was.
So many elements of psychedelic prog were used on that...

Nothing stunted my growth more as a keyboard player than the fact that the first keyboard instrument I learned to play was the accordion. My left hand was so accustom to simply pushing little buttons...

I can't believe there are 12 pages of ripping on the singers from some of the most respected prog bands - past and present.
I always knew the prog community was relatively small in comparison to...

Cyril - Gone Through Years

Beside the Classic 7 which have been mentioned several times before I also enjoyed the ray Thomas solo album From The Mighty Oaks and Mike Pinder first solo album The Promise.

When-ever I read about the 'resurgence' of prog from the heyday of the 70s' I feel as though I've been living in a bubble. Because prog has continued to be a viable genre of music for me throughout...

For one thing it looks like my favorite label of the year is Progressive Promotions Records. I've received a lot of great CDs from them in the past few years.
But my personal favorites for 2013 are:...

Unlike many here I actually enjoy spoken word albums and found Shatner's album to be very entertaining. But then again I also like Ken Nordine's "Word Jazz" and the spoken word new age albums of...
