Show #102
First off, as most of you may know, the radio show now airs twice a week on UK70sProgRock internet radio station, once on Fridays at 2 PM EST (7 PM GMT), and repeats on Saturdays at 7 PM EST (Midnight GMT). This allows listeners from North America to listen to the radio show at a reasonnable hour, since on Fridays most of you (hopefully) are at work.
This week on the International Prog Rock Show I presented some new releases from 2012, and some 2011 releases that were late in coming to my attention, or that were released late in the year. The new RPWL, "Beyond Man and Time", is an album every fan will love, and an album that will create new fans for this great German band. I will soon post a review of the CD, but here is a taster. The new Delusion Squared, "II", follows the immensely succesful self-titled debut, and doesn't stray much from it. Great melodies and playing, I will also post a review soon. As for the others, listen to the radio show and I am sure you will love every piece of music here.
The playlist was:
1. We Are What We Are, by RPWL (Beyond Man and Time, 2012)
2. The Fisherman, by RPWL (Beyond Man and Time, 2012)
3. Double Vision, by Delusion Squared (Delusion Squared II, 2012)
4. Revelation, by Delusion Squared (Delusion Squared II, 2012)
5. Suite de la Tormenta, by Q (Abducciรณn, 2011)
6. Leviathan, by Michael Bernier (Leviathan, 2011)
7. Circus Elephant, by Michael Bernier (Leviathan, 2011)
8. G.D.D., by Michael Bernier (Leviathan, 2011)
9. The Southern Cross, by Colin Masson (The Southern Cross, 2011)
10. Me and My Downfall, by DeeExpus (King of Number 33, 2011)
11. Memo, by DeeExpus (King of Number 33, 2011)
12. Dusk, by Edison's Children (In the Last Waking Moments, 2011)
13. Waking Up, by Cross (Wake Up Call, 2012)
14. Infinite Fire, by Flying Colors (Flying Colors, 2012)

No New Show this Week
Hello everyone! There was no new show this week due to scheduling conflicts between my real world job and my radio show (which is, ironically, also in the real world, but you know what I mean!!).
I've done a couple of interviews for the radio show and I think you will all be pleased. First off is one I did with The Psychedelic Ensemble which will air soon. As you may or may not know, The Psychedelic Ensemble is a one man band from the US who chooses to remain anonymous. We talked about his influences, his carreer, and all three of his CDs under the TPE moniker, including his latest "The Dream of the Magic Jongleur". The second interview I recorded was done this past week with Eric Blackwood, one half of Edison's Children (the other being Pete Trewavas). This interview will also air shortly.
In the meantime I will post a list of upcoming CDs, I will update the Festival page, and, hopefully, will finish up some CD reviews (I have just received the wonderful new RPWL and the new Paul Cusick).
So, stay tuned, I will be back.
PS: To those who won CDs - they were posted this Friday, so let me know when you receive them.
