    A new edition of our slice of prog music happenings for September 2025. We start with the sad news of the passing of founding member Rick Davies, who wrote some of the band’s famous songs. We discuss new and upcoming releases, including a couple of 50th anniversary reissues: Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here and the Grateful Dead’s Blues for Allah. There’s also a new release from the modern krautrock vanguards out of Oregon, Motrik (Earth). And we take a look at Jay’s Marillion one-day super sale haul.

    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!
