Sound Chaser Progressive Rock Podcast

The Sound Chaser Progressive Rock Podcast is on the air. The show this time is #3 in my series of progressive rock by artists not normally associated with progressive rock. We will see how in one way or another the influence of the progressive style for composition and performance has had a far-reaching influence, despite all the hatred from the music critics. So, sit back and take in sounds that are just a little bit different, both from the usual course of progressive rock and from the usual music these artists offer. In addition, I have an In Memoriam feature for keyboardist Christopher North. All that, plus news of tours and releases on Sound Chaser. Playlist1. Doc Severinsen & The Now Generation Brass - The Court of the Crimson King, from Doc Severinsen's ClosetIN MEMORIAM CHRISTOPHER NORTH2.

The Sound Chaser Progressive Rock Podcast is on the air. The show this time is my annual birthday gift to myself shows, wherein I select some of my favorite listening in the prog rock and related genres.

The Sound Chaser Progressive Rock Podcast is on the air. . This time I am exercising my professorial privilege to get just a bit educational. Much of progressive rock, especially in the early days, was based on classical music, including rock and jazz-rock versions of classical pieces. I dedicated show 24 all the way back in 2014 to spotlighting the prog-rock versions of classical music. In this show, I am turning the idea around. I will be playing the actual pieces of classical music that became the inspirations for progressive rock transcriptions. I will be discussing the prog rock versions with the help of excerpts from many favorite prog rock acts. With this audio essay, it is time truly to get in touch with the Classics on Sound Chaser. Featured composers include Holst, Mussorgsky, Smetana, Hermann, Jarre, Glass, Adams, Debussy, Beethoven, Wagner, Hovhannes, Janáček, Prokofiev, Rodrigo, Ligeti, Khatchaturian, Handel, Mozart, Tárrega, Saint-Saëns, Satie, Ravel. PodOmatic limits the number of characters fo

The Sound Chaser Progressive Rock Podcast is on the air. The show this time is the 12th anniversary show. The show has been broadcasting biweekly since January, 2014. To honor this 12th anniversary achievement, I have dedicated this show to the 12-string guitar. Every piece of music on this show, with the exception of one song that is part of a suite, features the 12-string, mostly acoustic, but a couple of electric as well.

The show this time is devoted mostly to that ill-defined category “related music.” In particular, I am taking a long, nostalgic retrospection of the music I was listening to or interested in before I discovered progressive rock or while I was discovering progressive rock. These are songs playing on the radio, performed on TV, and otherwise in the general atmosphere of life in Southern California around a half century ago. The music comes from 1966 to 1978, and prog listeners consider many of these songs to closely tied to progressive rock. I also have an In Memoriam feature for two musicians recently departed. Let’s take a trip back on Sound Chaser.  Playlist1. Kansas - Point of Know ReturnIN MEMORIAM2. Passport [Klaus Doldinger] - Nexus3. Al Di Meola [Anthony Jackson] - Flight over RioEND IN MEMORIAM4.

The Sound Chaser Progressive Rock Podcast is on the air. The show this time is all about the many languages of Prog. Most progressive rock is sung in English, for reasons you probably already know well. However, a fair amount is sung in other languages. Because of that, quite a bit of progressive music does not get the attention it perhaps deserves. So, I am rectifying this just a little by featuring songs in a variety of languages. It’s an international tour on Sound Chaser. I have In Memoriam features for musicians recently gone: Mark Volman, Rick Davies, and Nicky Ryan. The show features music from Magma, Yuka & Chronoship, Kraan, Ange, Tusmørke, Yesterdays, and many others. It's all here on Sound Chaser. PlaylistIcelandic1.
