RIP.

    We discuss new and upcoming releases from King Crimson, Rick Wakeman, Mike Oldfield and more. And some new prog books are either just out or forthcoming, including an autobiography from Gentle Giant singer and music industry executive Derek Schulman. Finally, Jay walks us through the new book on Yes tour programs through the years from the Gottlieb Brothers.

  • Episode 55: Pink Floyd History and Releases — The Middle and Later Years, 1973-2014
    Oct 30 2025

    Join us for a journey through space and time with Pink Floyd! This episode covers the albums from Dark Side of the Moon through The Endless River, and everything in between. Except Live 8; we forgot to mention the Live 8 reunion. Also, please excuse some minor sound issues.

    Pink Floyd created many sounds and approaches that formed the backbone for a lot of the progressive music. The band also perfected the use of space and atmosphere in their music that defined electronic and space music for years to come. Enjoy the ride!

  • Episode 52: Jon and Vangelis Deep Dive, Part 2
    Sep 17 2025

    We’re back with the second part of our take on the music of Jon Anderson and Vangelis (Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou) — from Private Collection to Page of Life and beyond.

    While their songs were each a short story sharing a page of life, some of Jon’s lyrics were better left in his private collection. But that never seemed to bother these two friends of Mr. Cairo. Let us go out of the mist into tropical splendor!
