Compared to recent episodes, this is a lazy collection of music. As I am getting ready for the 1994 show, my attention has been on listening to music from that era, but with all of this research of the past, I am missing the newest material. As a result, this episode is all about catching up, mostly blindly. Still, we collected some great new material for you to listen to, and threw in some older stuff when possible.  On April 23rd we will peruse the music of 1994.  Artist Title Duration Album Year Marillion Map Of The World 4:54 Anoraknophobia   The Far Cry Crossing Pangea 12:31 Once There Was 2025 Let See Thin Story of My Life 5:24 Machine Called Life 2025 IQ Far from Here 12:40 Dominion 2025 The Swan Chorus It's Not the End of the World 7:22 You're Despicable 2025 Moe.

If I had lots of extra time, I would run a show specifically based on Jam and Improvisation. In the live and spontaneous creation of music is where we can find the greatest adventures in sound. There are certainly moments in which the fruits of the labor come back without the treasure that they were seeking, but the times that our musician friends do find their way out into the chaotic cosmos and find the gold in the shadow, that is when you can really get turned on and tuned in, and perhaps if you are lucky dropped out. I have tried to provide some examples of amazing jams for those who don't seek out such journeys. I have included Jam Bands and Jazz Fusion, but there is so much more out there to explore- suffice to say, we will come back to this theme in the near future.   That said we have some upcoming shows to look out for: On the 9th we will have a more spontaneous show featuring some of the newest music that is coming out- as well as some old favorites, and then on the 23rd we will turn our attention to the year 1994 as part of our continued drive towards 2024.   Artist Title Duration Album Year The Grateful Dead Playing In The Band 19:54 Sunshine Daydream: Veneta, Or, August 27Th, 1972 2013 Panzerballett Iron Maiden Voyage 7:19 Panzerballett 2005 Liquid Tension Experiment Paradigm Shift 8:55 Liquid Tension Experiment 1998 Out Of Focus I'm Kissing Right 10:34 Palermo 1972 David Sancious I Could Fall In Love With You (Again) 6:19 9 Piano Improvisations 2000 Papadosio X Ram Dass Cutting Through the Drama 7:09 Improvisations with Ram Dass 2024 Medeski Martin & Wood Is There Anybody Here That Love My Jesus 4:24 Shack-Man 1996 Frank Zappa The Torture Never Stops 12:36 Zappa In New York (2) 1976 The Allman Brothers Band & Branford Marsalis Dreams 13:06 Alltel Pavilion At Walnut Creek, Raleigh, NC: 8/10/2003 [Live] [Disc 3] 2003 King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard The River 24:44:00 Live In Chicago '23 2023 Phish David Bowie 35:40:00 Live Phish 20: 12.29.94 - Providence Civic Center, Providence, Rhode Island 2003 Dave Matthews Band All Along The Watchtower [Live] 13:00 The Central Park Concert [Disc 3] 2003

Some time in the past I started counting up to the best of the year show. That meant going back across the decades, maybe to compare years. Well, 1984 in prog holds no comparison to last year whatsoever. Many will argue that there is much more prog to pull from than I pulled from here, that is likely true, but this was an endeavor to give you some of 1984 that I found the most meaning and joy in. That means that new wave rears up along with other genres, but I always tried to make the connection to prog rock. There were a few misses. For instance, I could have been more careful with the break in Roger Waters- it is hard to find a stopping point in the album as it all bleeds together. The best way is to listen to Pros and Cons is all the way through, with headphones, in a blacklit room. There is also that the Russ Ballard song I chose is not in fact from 1984- my mistake.    The next show will be help on March 26th and we will feature jam bands and improvisational prog.  Here is the 1984 setlist: Artist Title Duration Album Year Craft Aries 5:48 Craft 1984 Deep Purple Perfect Strangers 5:11 Perfect Strangers 1970 XTC Wake Up 4:29 The Big Express 1984 King Crimson Sleepless 5:04 Three of a Perfect Pair 1984 Laszlo Benko Mambo 2:30 Lexikon 2 1970 Osiris Who Remembers 4:44 Myths And Legends (Vinyl) 1984 The Fixx Less Cities, More Moving People 3:27 Phantoms 1984 Camel Cloak and Dagger Man 3:43 Stationary Traveller 1984 Russ Ballard Voices 5:30 Anthology 1986 Planet P Project Power 4:14 Pink World [Definitive Edition] 1985 Jefferson Starship Layin' It On The Line 4:07 Nuclear Furniture (Vinyl) 1984 Solaris M'ars poetica 6:21 The Martian Chronicles 1983 Gerard Orpheus 8:34 Gerard (Vinyl) 1984 Jerome Langlois LE BALLON I 7:24 THEMES, solo piano 2011 Anthony Phillips February 4:24 Private Parts and Pieces, Part V 'Twelve' 1985 Weird Al Yankovic King Of Suede 4:07 In 3-D 1984 Michael Shrieve Transfer Station Blue 11:41 Transfer Station Blue (With Kevin Shrieve & Klaus Schulze) 1984 Jean-Michel Jarre Blah-Blah Cafe 3:20 Zoolook 1984 Howard Jones Equality 4:18 Human's Lib 1984 Oingo Boingo Gratitude 5:11 So Lo 1988 Billy Squier (Another) 1984 4:45 Signs Of Life 1984 Iron Maiden Back in the Village 5:01 Powerslave 1984 Yngwie J.

Let me preface this episode by pointing out, I don't believe I am a fusion fan. What this means for you the listener is that you may not find my taste in fusion is similar to yours. Despite this obvious detractor from a tour of fusion and jazz prog, I believe we put together quite a nice set of fusiony goodness in this episode.  Next show will be 2/26 and we will be heading back to the music of 1984.  Artist Title Duration Album Year Frank Zappa Peaches In Regalia 3:29 Hot Rats 1969 Return To Forever Theme To The Mothership 8:38 Hymn Of The Seventh Galaxy 1973 Dewa Budjana Queen Kanya 6:53 Mahandini 2018 Arcana Into The Circle 9:18 Arc Of The Testimony 1997 ManDoki Soulmates Devil's Encyclopedia 5:44 A Memory Of Our Future 2024 Chicago Questions 67 And 68 4:38 Chicago Transit Authority 1969 Weather Report Birdland 5:53 Heavy Weather 1977 Antoine Fafard & Gavin Harrison Dark Wind 5:39 Perpetual Mutations 2024 Dixie Dregs Travel Tunes 4:23 What If 2024 Brand X Hate Zone 4:33 Moroccan 1977 The Bad Plus Tom Sawyer 4:59 Prog 2007 One Shot Ewaz Vader 10:29 Ewaz Vader 2006 The United Jazz & Rock Ensemble Stumbling Henry's Divorce March 7:09 Teamwork 2010 Hiromi Time Out 6:34 Time Control 2007 Steely Dan Show Biz Kids 5:07 Countdown To Ecstasy 1973 Tony Levin Espressoville 4:53 Bringing It Down to the Bass 2024 Guthrie Govan Wonderful Slippery Thing 3:17 Erotic Cakes 2006 Arco Iris Necksa 8:04 Los Elementales 1977 Pekka Pohjola Vapour Trails 4:38 Visitation 1979 Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood Tequila And Chocolate 6:22 Out Louder 2006 Jeff Beck Cause We've Ended As Lovers 5:34 Blow by Blow 1975 The Tony Williams Lifetime Mr. Spock 6:07 Believe It (Vinyl) 1975 Al Di Meola Midnight Tango 7:22 Elegant Gypsy 1977 Jean-Luc Ponty As 5:44 Mystical Adventures 1981 Andreas Vollenweider Night Fire Dance 4:43 Down To The Moon 1986 Gamalon 1969 3:09 Aerial View 1990 Kenso Ryu no Mai 6:46 An old warrior shook the Sun 2024 The Keith Tippett Group Black Horse 5:49 Dedicated To You, But You Weren't Listening 1971 Santana Samba Pa Ti 4:22 Abraxas [Original Master Recording] 1970 Pat Metheny Here, There And Everywhere 4:16 Moondial 2024

We nod to our past, by decade, as part of our countdown to the music of 2024. It's an interesting way to view the music we love decade by decade. It's not a best-of-show but instead, an attempt to give you a small swath of the music that emerged in 1974. As part of creating a theme, I find pleasant surprises and long-forgotten music, and if I feel some connection- you get the music. So join us for this all-too-short trip back to the year 1974.   Next time, we will jaunt merrily into the world of jazz rock and fusion prog.  Artist Title Duration Album Year Walsh, Joe Pavane Of The Sleeping Beauty 1:53 So What 1974 Walsh, Joe Time Out 4:14 So What 1974 Deep Purple Stormbringer 4:02 Stormbringer 1974 David Bowie 1984 3:12 Diamond Dogs 1974 Triumvirat Triangle 6:52 Illusions on a Double Dimple 1974 Triumvirat Illusions 1:43 Illusions on a Double Dimple 1974 Triumvirat Dimplicity 5:38 Illusions on a Double Dimple 1974 Electric Light Orchestra Mister Kingdom 5:02 Flashback 2000 Kansas Death Of Mother Nature Suite 7:41 Kansas 1974 Uriah Heep Wonderworld 4:26 Wonderworld (2004 Remaster) 1974 Gentle Giant Aspirations 4:29 The Power and the Glory 1974 Premiata Forneria Marconi Via Lumiere 7:02 L'isola Di Niente 1974 Gong A P.H.P.'s Advice 1:47 You 1974 Gong Magick Mother Invocation 2:06 You 1974 Gong A Sprinkling Of Clouds 8:44 You 1974 Styx A Song for Suzanne 5:13 Man of Miracles 1974 Bad Company Rock Steady 3:41 Bad Co 1974 The Grateful Dead Unbroken Chain 6:38 From The Mars Hotel (Vinyl) 1974 Focus Birth 7:38 Hamburger Concerto 1974 Traffic Graveyard People 6:02 When The Eagle Flies 1974 Jazz Q Carodej (The Wizard) 16:16 Symbiosis 1974 Steely Dan Pretzel Logic 4:23 Pretzel Logic 1974 Camel Nimrodel-The Procession-The White Rider 9:05 Mirage 1974 Billy Cobham Spanish Moss, A Sound Portrait: Spanish Moss 3:55 Crosswinds 1974 Billy Cobham Spanish Moss, A Sound Portrait: Savannah the Serene 4:59 Crosswinds 1974 Billy Cobham Spanish Moss, A Sound Portrait: Storm 2:47 Crosswinds 1974 Billy Cobham Spanish Moss, A Sound Portrait: Flash Flood 5:01 Crosswinds 1974 Frank Zappa Stink Foot 6:27 Apostrophe 1974 Genesis In the Cage 8:06 The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway 1974 Blue Oyster Cult Flaming Telepaths 5:19 Secret Treaties 1974 Rush Working Man 7:06 Rush 1974 Yes Sound Chaser 9:23 Relayer (Steven Wilson Remix 2015) 1974 Supertramp Crime Of The Century 5:15 Crime Of The Century 1974 Bob Dylan Forever Young 4:50 Planet Waves (Vinyl) 1974

With the start of the new year, we wanted to harness some shamanic energy for the voyage forward. That's why we open the year with a 3 hour long drum ceremony. Drummers are the powerful backbone and structure for the music we enjoy. They can provide the subtle shifts needed to move us forward, or the power needed to get us through those challenging moments. The collection provided here is so far from exhaustive. We missed so many great drummers, and some we doubled up on just due to the amazing work that they have done in prog. Still a fine collection of musicians is presented here and we hope that you will enjoy what they have given to us. Next time around, we time travel to 1974.

Another Christmas episode from Soundscape with an attempt to present only new material (well at least previously not in a Soundscape Christmas episode). The music is a mostly mellow cache of holiday bits and pieces. Your DJ was exhausted and anxious but I stand by my choices.  Suzi and I would like to take a moment here and express our gratitude that you continue to explore our episodes. It is our heartfelt wish that we can continue to provide you with new and interesting episodes in the coming year. Some of the upcoming episodes will feature a focus on drums, a look back through the years, a celebration of the music and finds of 2024, and of course a return to Norway- with perhaps a sidequest to Switzerland. Either way you slice it, we are looking forward to the next year with you all and we wish you happy holidays and a new year of meaning making and peace.  Artist Title Duration Album Year Vimma Preludi - Preludium 2:26 Meri ja avaruus 2019 Vimma Tänne saakka ei paista aurinko - Sunlight cannot reach here 5:58 Meri ja avaruus 2019 Looking-Glass Lantern The Festive Season 4:31 A Victorian Christmas Compendium 2023 Jon Anderson The Holly And The Ivy 3:03 Three Ships 2007 Tiger Moth Tales Snowbound Snowman 8:23 The Wassail Song   The Moody Blues December Snow 5:07 December 2003 Bjørn Riis 06 Winter 10:19 Forever Comes to an End   Steven Wilson December Skies 3:32 December Skies (single) 2023 Big Big Train Proper Jack Froster 6:36 Welcome to the Planet 2022 Steve Morse Carol Of The Bells 2:41 A Prog Rock Christmas 2019 Umphrey's McGee Xmas At Wartime 3:31 It's You 2018 Neal Morse The Little Drummer Boy 6:52 A Proggy Christmas 2011 Keith Emerson It Came Upon a Midnight Clear 6:44 The Christmas Album 1988 Phish Winterqueen 4:03 Fuego [+digital booklet]   Premiata Forneria Marconi E' Festa 4:48 Storia Di Un Minuto 1972 Karfagen Yuletide 5:29 Magician's Theater 2014 California Guitar Trio Happy Xmas (War Is Over) 3:48 A Christmas Album 2004 Cosmograf A Festive Ghost 3:39 A Festive Ghost (Holiday Single) 2017 Iconoclasta Mestizaja (26-A-1) 7:09 Suite Mexicana Soliloquio 1987 Dream Theater The Holiday Spirit Carries On 5:10 The Holiday Spirit Carries On (CDS) 2020 Buckethead Cookies for Santa 3:25 Shadows Between the Sky 2010 Geoff Downes Linus & Lucy (Charlie Brown Christmas Theme) 2:57 A Prog Rock Christmas 2019 Kyle Hollingsworth Find the Joy 2:35 Find the Joy - Single 2021 Kornmo Ild 6:12 Vandring 2019 Argent Christmas For The Free 4:05 All Together Now   Umphrey's McGee Santa Oddity 4:12 Santa Oddity 2018 Bob Rivers O Come All Ye Grateful Dead-Heads 1:22 Bob Rivers & Twisted Radio - Twisted Christmas Boxed Set 2007 The Grateful Dead Run Rudolph Run 3:40 Dave's Picks Volume 22: Felt Forum, New York, Ny 12/7/71 2017 The Band Christmas Must Be Tonight 3:27 The Best Christmas Album Ever 2006 Big Big Train Brew and Burgh (Winter Version) 4:15 Brew and Burgh (Winter Version) 2024 Pallas Christmas In Atlantis 5:21 Christmas On the Edge Of Time 2019 Marillion The Christmas Song 3:15 A Collection Of Recycled Gifts 2014 Foghat All I Want For Christmas Is You (Bonus) 4:01 Zig-Zag Walk 1983 Pink Floyd Merry Xmas Song 2:03 A Tree Full Of Secrets (CD 05) 1999 Tiger Moth Tales Hygge 9:05 The Depths Of Winter 2017

Many of us live in a sense of conflict with others. It would be easy enough to pick a pack of songs that further sowed division, but I thought, why not instead focus on values. The goal then was to pick songs that expressed values of hope, kindness, empathy, compassion and understanding. We can surely agree that these are the lofty goals of our humanity rather than the daily division sewn into the fabric of our world right now. Hopefully this set of music will bring some sense of salve to the wounds you feel.

  In a previous episode, we were so taken by the presence of the piano, that I decided to devote an episode to just piano. I of course unearthed a treasure trove of piano music from the progsphere and my listening tastes. There was no way to include it all, so stay tuned to our Instagram page for songs from the cutting room floor.  There was also a desire to add AI as a podcast host, but that did not turn out as planned. I am still working on that setup, but I think it will be a lot of fun when we get there.  Artist Title Duration Album Year               Rolling Stones Loving Cup 4:16 Exile on Main St 1972               Fish Tumbledown 5:43 Raingods With Zippos 1999               Passport Homunculus 6:03 Cross-Collateral (Vinyl) 1975               Minimum Vital Hymne et Danse 8:38 Sarabandes 1990               Ben Folds Five The Sound Of The Life Of The Mind 4:09 The Sound Of The Life Of The Mind 2012               Traffic Glad 6:50 John Barleycorn Must Die [Bonus Tracks] 2001               Far Corner Not From Around Here 8:31 Endangered 2007               Yes South Side of the Sky 7:37 Fragile (2024 Box 2: Steven Wilson Remix) 1971               Emerson, Lake & Palmer Trilogy 8:46 Trilogy (MFSL) 1972               Electric Light Orchestra Grieg's Piano Concerto In A Minor 2:50 Flashback 2000               Supertramp Child Of Vision 7:13 Breakfast In America 1979               Jordan Rudess J.R.

It turns out that the music from Norway is so good that we made a part 2, and indeed part 3 is to come in some future episode. The exploration of this music has been so much fun and turned over so many new stones that there is still a plethora of progressive tuneage to mine for Part 3. Live listeners said that they really enjoyed Part 1 and Part 2 but you be the judge. Next time we meet here it will be for the first Soundscape Halloween episode in about 3 years. This means that the dig has been very successful and that you will likely hear some new music to get your bones rattling and your feet tapping, just ignore the chill up the spine- but that is next time. For now, here is the set list from this week's episode.  Artist Title Duration Album Year Høst Sirkus 7:38 Hardt Mot Hardt (Vinyl) 1976 Jono El Grande Bach's Beach 8:04 Melody Of A Muddled Mason 1976 Major Parkinson Twilight Cinema 5:38 Twilight Cinema 2014 Holon The Time Is Always Now 11:01 The Time Is Always Now 2016 Mikromidas Nostradamus 9:47 Brennende Drommer 2001 Metrognom Ten Peppermint Butterflies In A Ray Of Moonlight 13:44 Twangyluck 2006 Krokofant Watcher Of The Fries 7:36 Fifth (EP) 2021 Laughing Stock The Flood (ft.

In this week's episode part 1 of our exploration of Norwegian Prog. This was a very enjoyable exploration of progressive rock and other musics from Norway. I really had no idea how deep the rabbit hole was going to go, but once I realized how much enjoyment I was getting out of the exploration, I knew that I would need 2 episodes to do this all justice. Although there is some modern prog, the set seemed to lean more towards the psychedelic and the strange. That's pretty normal for us, but I imagine many people will say we missed a lot. Well, we did, because there is too much to explore here. I imagine the next episode will lean more towards the symphonic and neo-prog- but as I say, the journey continues.  Artist Title Duration Album Year Bazar Kjaere, Lille Deg 4:15 Drabantbyrock (Vinyl) 1974 D'AccorD Ibliss in Bliss 8:00 D'accorD III 2014 Elephant Plaza Paralyzed 7:04 Momentum 2016 Arabs in Aspic Morket 2 9:24 Syndenes Magi 2017 Prudence Tomorrow May Be Vanished 4:19 Tomorrow May Be Vanished 1972 Caligonaut Hushed 10:35 Magnified As Giants 2021 Fatal Fusion Tears I’ve Cried 8:42 The Ancient Tale 2013 Airbag The Greatest Show on Earth 6:53 The Greatest Show on Earth 2013 Electric Eye Last Call At The Infinity Pool 4:52 Horizons 2021 The Brimstone Solar Radiation Band The Spirit Of The Airborne Hogweed 9:03 Solstice 2005 Dream Night Of the Lonely Organist And His Mysterious Pals 5:29 Get Dreamy 1967 Amgala Temple Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarine 8:54 Invisible Airships 2018 Finn Arild Water 3:50 Testament 2010 Aunt Mary Nocturnal Voice 6:02 Janus 1973 Elephant9 You Are The Sunshine Of My Life 9:41 Silver Mountain 2015 Anders Buaas Bitter Winds 6:52 The Witches Of Finnmark 2017 Farmers Market Lodtschitze Mini Maritza (Ferry Cross The Mersey) 5:01 Surfin' USSR 2008 Eivind Aarset Still Changing 7:51 Sonic Codex 2007 Annot Rhul Leviathan Suite 13:45 Leviathan 2014 Elds Mark Spor 4:19 Elds Mark 2020 Deja-Vu Between The Leaves 5:44 Between The Leaves (Vinyl) 1976 Lars Fredrik Froislie Naturens katedral 16:18 Fire Fortellinger 2023

Here we are, finally back on track. Our newest episode of Soundscape features a great many prog-rock fairy tales. There were so many to choose from, and likely we did not even play most of the expected songs, or even come close to exhausting the theme. This means that part 2 will probably happen at some point. Nevertheless, we think you will enjoy the collection we have made for you here.  Artist Title Duration Album Year John Martyn Fairy Tale Lullaby 2:44 London Conversation (Vinyl) 1967 Rostro Del Sol Tales...

We wanted to identify what makes Generation X different from other generations. Many books that lay bare this question, but the one that informed most of my thoughts about Generation X was the book Generations by Jean M Twenge. Twenge did not make any real statements about the music of the generation. Instead, she identified differences mostly based on how we interacted with different technologies. For instance, Generation X is the last generation to grow up on analog music and the first to experience digital. We were the first generation to experience MTV which changed the face of music as we knew it. There are many more data points that Twenge pointed out that provide the parameters for Generation X. However the questions I wanted to answer were more related to the content we listened to. What music defined Generation X? When we started creating our music, what were the trends we created? What impact did Generation X have on our beloved prog rock? Some of the answers may be contained here in this episode, in short, the results of my findings in this all-too-brief exploration of generational music were: Regardless of the generational divide that seems to show up in culture wars, there is no escaping that the music we listened to growing up came from the previous generation.  Progressive rock itself is a Boomer genre of rock music. We grew up on Classic Rock, Punk, and 80s pop.  When Generation X did start speaking musically, we developed Grunge, and Hip-Hop. However, on the prog side, we had prog metal and post-rock. The earliest rock music from Generation X appears to have been Gun's and Roses (although some members just miss the identified cutoff). The earliest band to speak prog that was a Generation X fronted band, was either Majesty (later known as Dream Theater) or Echolyn.  The episode provided here is not even close to answering all of the questions, but the research and theme did make for some enjoyable listening. We hope you enjoy this all-too-brief dive into this question.

This week Soundscape moved to its new time and place. We now broadcast on Wednesday evenings every two weeks at 5-8 pm CST. This episode is not themed at all. It is a grab bag of new music (at least to us). We will return with our Generation X theme in 2 weeks on 6/19.

Wow, what a journey! Over the last few weeks, I perused and listened to bunches of albums. I was seeking a particular sound, a psychedelic sound. When I started I didn't know what I was getting myself into. I even had extreme stress in trying to curate what was right for this show. I wanted to both offer some ethereal journeys and yet still provide enough landing spaces that it wouldn't overwhelm the passenger. Amidst chuggernauts, cosmic tinged distortions, and typical psychedelic poetry, I found the path. If there are bumpy moments I apologize. Most flights have some level of turbulence. I just know that we seem to have landed safely. Enjoy the ride and look out for the next exciting adventure in the Soundscape.  Artist Title Time Album Year   Soundscape 3.0 Opener 1:38   2024 Nektar A Tab In The Ocean 16:12 A Tab In The Ocean 1972 Monkey3 Ignition 10:33 Welcome To The Machine 2024 My Brother The Wind The Mediator Between Head And Hands Must Be The Heart 5:33 I Was My Soul In The Stream Of Infinity 2011 Thee Oh Sees Sticky Hulks 6:44 Mutilator Defeated At Last 2015 Mammatus Expanding Majesty 15:14 Expanding Majesty 2023 Maserati Pyramid of the Moon (Live at Radio K, SXSW Music Conference, 3/19/2009) 7:16 Pyramid of the Sun – Anniversary Edition 2024 The Third Mind Groovin' Is Easy 7:56 The Third Mind 2 2023 Somali Yacht Club Pulsar 9:01 The Space 2022 Hoodoo Lord A Longing for Existence 11:52 Realm of Sleep 2024 The Dukes Of Stratosphear What In The World??... 5:00 Chips From The Chocolate Fireball 1987 Phish First Tube 8:10 2010/07/04 II Alpharetta, GA 2010 Hypnos 69 The Empty Hourglass 10:27 Legacy 2010 King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Satan Speeds Up 3:38 I'm In Your Mind Fuzz 2014 Sugar Candy Mountain Windows 3:08 666 2016 Perilymph Aventure 8:03 Progressions Imaginaires 2024 Widespread Panic Ain't Life Grand 4:42 Ain't Life Grand 1994 Crippled Black Phoenix Time Of Ye Life / Born For Nothing / Paranoid Arm Of Narcoleptic Empire 18:34 Night Raider 2009 Ignu It’s always 4:20 somewhere 4:18 Unity III 2023 First Band From Outer Space Impressionable Sounds Of The Subsonic 10:07 Impressionable Sounds Of The Subsonic 2006 Jerry Garcia Eep Hour 5:05 Garcia 1972 Violeta De Outono Tomorrow Never Knows 3:54 Violeta De Outono 1987  

As you may recall, in our last episode Suzi suggested we do something special to celebrate Cinco De Mayo. We chose to do this by playing a whole set of Mexican prog rock. For us, it was an enlightening journey and we found quite a few gems that we will keep in our listening queues. We hope that you will do the same.

Who knows why I would dare myself to develop a show based on dentistry in prog, but I did! Now lovely listeners I invite you to enjoy one of the stranger musical journeys we have done. Regardless of the strangeness, I think we created something here that is worth your perusal. Let us know what you think.  Artist Title Duration Album Year Composer Record Label ISRC Listeners Soundscape & CS Brown Soundscape 3.0 Opener 1:38 Soundscape 3 2024       66 Galahad Dentist Song 3:59 Sleepers 2003   Avalon UK   66 Procosmian Fannyfiddlers Dental Breakdown 7:43 Astonishing Tales Of Cod And Plankton 2021       58 Free Sweet Tooth 4:52 Tons of Sobs 1968       59 Simeon Soul Charger Tooth 2:11 Meet Me In The Afterlife 2011   Soulfood   53 And So I Watch You From Afar Clench Fists, Grit Teeth...

Soundscape is a podcast filled with progressive rock music. This program runs as one of the many podcasts on the progrock.com website. Soundscape selects music based on a theme that will connect all of the music. This podcast has returned after a 4-year hiatus. We hope you will join us for a fun and frivolous romp in the universe of progressive rock.

The system I use to broadcast Soundscape has never been the most reliable at doing its job. This episode took a while to put out because I was aware of the problems in the mix. During the live broadcast, the levels would change on every song. So I did not want to put it out as it was. I have done my best to equalize the volume across the episode. Hopefully, this will sate those thirst for a new show.  The mix itself is mostly a gathering of newer music, tempered with the usual spices of older stuff. I hope you enjoy it. There were some really stand-out moments I thought. Share and Enjoy!
