Inner Prospekt – Unusual Movements

Last year’s Inner Prospekt release, Canvas Three, was an unexpected surprise. Its melding of the pastoral sounds of early Genesis with the drama of classic Italian prog had me coming back again and again. The mastermind and keyboardist behind the…

The Alan Parsons Project – Pyramid (Super Deluxe Box Set)

Pyramid was the third studio album by The Alan Parsons Project (APP), the progressive rock ensemble comprising the engineer/producer Alan Parsons and the songwriter, musician and manager Eric Woolfson. Originally released in May 1978, it followed the successful and eclectic…

Peter Gabriel & more at the Movies: The Prog Mill [Audio Feature]

Whilst Shaun Geraghty was busy at Buckingham Palace (no kidding!) he usurped his Prog Radio throne for one week with a Special based on Peter Gabriel music at the movies, including his film soundtracks ‘Birdy’ and ‘Passion’ and many film…

Anubis – The Unforgivable

Early in my days as a prog rock reviewer, Anubis’s sophomore album A Tower of Silence fell into my lap and I was instantly smitten. While it only got an 8/10 from me at the time, I found that it…

And So I Watch You From Afar – Megafauna

When it comes to post rock/math rock instrumental bands, none have more musical swagger than Northern Ireland’s And So I Watch You From Afar. They create the kind of music that makes you dig deep and find resolve in places…

Desert Twelve – The Last Dark Wood

I am a strong believer that it takes three full listens to an album to really have a valuable opinion of it. Some of my favourite albums of all time really didn’t land with me until that special third listen.…

The Radicant – We Ascend

Since the break up of Anathema, Vincent Cavanagh has shifted his focus to creating audio pieces to accompany installations for visual artists. This particular journey began in 2017, in the year that Anathema’s final recording The Optimist was released, when…

Mandoki Soulmates ‎– A Memory Of Our Future

In my review of 2019’s Living in the Gap + Hungarian Pictures album I mentioned Leslie Mándoki was one of those musicians who would occasionally crop up in conversation, but other than some YouTube concert footage, I knew little about…

Marco Glühmann – A Fragile Present

Following Sylvan’s tenth album, the excellent One To Zero, and a tour co-headlining with RPWL, the band have spent time working on other projects. First it was the turn of keyboardist Volker Sohl and guitarist Johnny Beck to release the…
