Welcome back to the Summer Edition download-only International Prog Rock Show. This week's show is quite special. But first, let me explain. Last March, on the 28th, we played the new Unitopia CD called Artificial. Because of an embargo we were unable to post the complete show to the download page, since the CD had not been released yet. Unfortunately, listeners of our show who download here because of the Time-Zone difference didn't get a chance to listen to Rick and I talk about the album and listen to some of those songs.
Well today I offer the special Missing 45 minutes of that March 28, show download here (Link no longer available). Listen and enjoy! Later this week I will post a review of the album, which is a must-have. So buy the CD and, for those lucky enough to be in Europe this October, go see them live!! Yes, starting on October 9th with the Summer's End festival, Unitopia will do a small tour of Europe, including the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. There may be other dates, so be sure to look at the Tour page on their website.
Enjoy the week... if we're lucky, next week we'll have a very special download show!

And fear not, dear listeners: for the next 8 weeks I will be posting special download-only radio shows, a kind of "Best of" of the International Prog Rock Show. There will also be a special radio show, download-only again, with reviews and songs from the High Voltage Festival in London in July. Three shows are already in the can, and I'm working on the other 5 as I write this (a NDV special, a High Voltage Special, a blooper special, and others). These shows will be made available for download every Sunday at 3PM Eastern Standard time.
Have a great summer, Rick and I surely will, and Prog-On people!!! I would like to thank all the artists that made this first year possible, those we interviewed and those who sent us the music that we play on the air... you know who you are and we thank you very, very much! A special thank you to Mickey Simmonds, the genius who wrote our theme music, and to Ken Jacquess, for being the first and for believing in this little show of ours. We'll see you all at live shows during the summer, I'm sure, and we'll be back live on the air August 29th.
Frank!
