Episode 935 - The Psychedelic Special (Remastered + Bonus Tracks)

Another oldie but goodie that I thought could use a little remaster: The Psychedelic Special! A special feature on a very fascinating time in the history of music. More specifically, the Psychedelic period in the mid-to-late 1960s. This was a very creative and fertile time in which established bands such as the Beatles, the Who, the Moody Blues, and Cream figured prominently. It also saw the arrival of important nascent talents such as Pink Floyd and the young Jeff Lynne, Roy Wood, David Bowie, Steve Howe, and Chris Squire, to name but a few. We’ll hear from all of these and more on the Prog-Watch Psychedelic 60s Special! So come along for a fun ride…it’ll be groovy, baby!(The bonus tracks:Pictures of Matchstick Men by Status QuoFire by The Crazy World of Arthur BrownHurdy Gurdy Man by Donovan)

Episode 934 - Explorations, Vol. 3 - Progressive Folk

Episode 932 - Epix, Vol. 11

This week's Prog-Watch is another edition of Epix! But this time around I've done something a little different. The songs are all still 10 plus minutes in length, but this time there is more emphasis on the contemporary. Only one track comes from the 70s...the rest are from this century, with one from 2001, one from 2018, and two from this year. Tune in to hear great progressive sounds from Yes, The Watch, Ben Craven, All Traps on Earth, and Athak!

Episode 931 - Variety

A plethora of fantastic stuff has come across my digital desktop lately, so this week's Prog-Watch is a straight-up variety program full of awesome, mostly contemporary progressive rock! I've got great music from Combinator, Evership, Grombira, The Bedlam Furnaces, Numen, Robert Berry's 3.2, The Samurai of Prog, Lucifer Was, Head Spin, Porcupine Tree, and Glass Island!

Episode 930 - Shaking the Yes Family Tree (Remastered + Bonus Track)

I sometimes listen to old shows to see how I've progressed. In listening to this first edition in my “Shaking the Tree” series, I really liked the content, but feel the sound quality leaves a little to be desired. So I decided to remaster it, and in many cases used tracks from remastered versions of the albums. Since I had time, I also included a bonus track at the end. Sonically, the program is far superior to the program (although there was only so much I could do with the voice track). Anyway, without further ado, I present Shaking the Yes Family Tree (Remastered + Bonus Track), with music from The Buggles, Trevor Rabin, Refugee, Asia, Flash, Esquire, Levin-Torn-White, Badger, Bruford, and Chris Squire!
