Friday on UK 70s Prog Rock
On Good Friday, a special edition of The International Prog Rock Show: songs about redemption, crosses, and revelation. Most of the prog artists that will be featured on the show are also considered Christian Prog artists, though not all. Of course, I couldn't do an Easter Friday prog rock show without playing some Neal Morse, as he is the most well known christian artist.
So join me on Good Friday at UK 70s Prog Rock, and enjoy the Easter weekend.
In other news, the new Unwritten Pages is expected to be released later this year, and to give you a sneak peak here is a little teaser of the Fringe Kitchen CD.
Happy Easter everyone!

Interview with Eric Blackwood of Edison's Children
This week's guest on the International Prog Rock Rock is Eric Blackwood, one half of Edison's Children, the other half being bassist extraordinaire Pete Trewavas. How did this band form, how did Eric and Pete meet? Join me for three hours of great prog music with a great guest, and learn more about Eric and Pete's music, the genesis of there songs, the outtakes, and the future of this wonderful band.
Between the time Eric and I recorded this interview and now, the band has decided to release a single, A Million Miles Away, backed with 2 new songs and 3 remixes. Follow the link above to purchase either the album or the single... or both.
To download IPRS show 104, click here.
The playlist is as follows:
1. Dusk, by Edison's Children (In the Last Waking Moments, 2011)
2. Outerspaced, by Edison's Children (In the Last Waking Moments, 2011)
3. The "Other" Other Dimension, by Edison's Children (In the Last Waking Moments, 2011)
4. Fracture, by Edison's Children (In the Last Waking Moments, 2011)
5. A Million Miles Away, by Edison's Children (In the Last Waking Moments, 2011)
6. The Awakening, by Edison's Children (In the Last Waking Moments, 2011)
7. Spiraling, by Edison's Children (In the Last Waking Moments, 2011)
8. In the Last Waking Moments..., by Edison's Children (In the Last Waking Moments, 2011)
9. The Whirlwind (Live), by Transatlantic (More Is Never Enough, 2011)
The International Prog Rock Show will now air once a month, on the first Friday of each month, for the foreseeable future. The reasons for this are many, but a major one is that doing a radio show on a weekly basis doesn't allow me to write comprehensive reviews of the CDs I receive. So for the moment the show will be monthly, probably 4 hours instead of 3, and will have more new music and more interviews.
And who knows, I may be able to bring the show to a bi-weekly format sooner than you think.
Prog On!
