Peter Hammill – In A Foreign Town / Out of Water 2023

Peter Hammill is in my opinion, one of the giants of music, highly influential throughout nearly all genres with a huge catalogue, be it solo, with Van der Graaf Generator or in collaboration with other artists. These two albums, originally…

Devin Townsend – Infinity: 25^th Anniversary Edition

I struggle to believe that it’s been 25 years since Devin Townsend released this landmark album that greatly showcased his musical genius. I remember getting it as soon as it was released back in 1998, as I loved his previous…

The Move – Shazam (Remastered Vinyl Edition)

I think we’re all guilty of procrastinating on checking out certain books, TV shows, films and – yes – music that we know we’d probably like if we gave it half a chance, but simply haven’t because we either don’t…

Nektar – Remember the Future [50^th Anniversary Box Set]

I’ve had a pretty spotty history with Nektar. My first brush with the group was with their sophomore album A Tab in the Ocean, which is their highest rated on ProgArchives. I was especially charmed with the first side, the…

High Tide – The Complete Liberty Recordings

When I get my classic prog fix, I don’t tend to venture as far back as the ’60s, simply because it was a nebulous time for the genre and progressive music hadn’t evolved into all of its trappings that I…

John Wetton – An Extraordinary Life (8CD Boxset)

For me, having begun to explore progressive music from around 1975, John Wetton is one of a much-loved group of artists who I have listened to and followed for close to 50 years now. In my case, it started with…

Greg Lake – Magical

I became a fan of progressive rock in 2008… wait, I’ve said that before haven’t I? When I was reviewing Keith Emerson’s mammoth 20CD Variations set, I wondered what made Emerson so special when his long-time bandmate Greg Lake died…

Keith Emerson – Variations (20CD Boxset)

I became a fan of progressive rock in 2008, with my introduction to Dream Theater, which seemed to have everything I was looking for in a musical group: long songs, odd time signatures, virtuoso playing and great songwriting. I listened…

Stackridge – Mr. Mick

The final outing from Stackridge – in the ’70s, at least – feels very much like the black sheep of the family, the ugly duckling that’s destined to become a beautiful swan. It’s by no means the worst of Stackridge’s…

Marc Almond – Tenement Symphony (6CD/DVD Limited Edition Box Set)

The first time I encountered solo Marc Almond was the song My Hand Over My Heart on the 1991 Pride compilation Get Out. I was completely enthralled by such a perfect ’90s pop tune and would play it for anyone…
