IPRS 76 available for Download

In an attempt to showcase new and unknown bands in the prog world, the last couple of radio shows have concentrated on latest releases. This latest show is no different. I was supposed to have an interview with members of Sky Architect, but scheduling problems arose (them being on tour), and time differences (I being in North America, them being in Europe, interview could only be conducted on weekends to be able to do them at convenient times for both of us). Anyway, I still hope to bring you an interview with this wonderful band in the near future. Another interview in the works is with american band Mars Hollow. Hopefully this will be done in the coming weeks and coincide with the release of their new CD.

This latest IPRS features diverse music, from Disconnect, Akt, Gungfly, japanese band Earthbound Papas, and much more. Styles go from Neo-Prog to Crossover Prog, from Tech/Extreme Metal Prog to Symphonic Prog, with some Psychedelic/Space Prog and Italian Prog thrown into the mix. I hope you enjoy the result. Send your comments in the COMMENTS section of this blog. And if you have any suggestions, send them along as well. You can listen to the radio show every Friday at 2 PM EST on UK70s Prog Rock.

As always (and I do repeat myself here quite often, but it bears remembering), if you like the music, please purchase the CDs by clicking on the links for the bands. Encouring artists by purchasing allows those some bands to produce and create more great music for us to enjoy!
