IPRS 77 - Canada Day Special
Since today is July 1st, Canada Day, I decided to showcase canadian prog rock bands on the International Prog Rock Show which aired on UK 70s Prog Rock. Of course our greatest export and most recognisable prog rock band may be Rush, who are still on their Time Machine tour as I write. I even think they are better known than another canadian export of ours, the Cirque du Soleil. Another well known canadian prog band is Saga, who have now embarked on a summer tour in Europe. Michael Sadler, as most of you know, has returned to the fold, and Rob Moratti, who replaced him as lead singer for about two years, has just released his first solo CD.
Today's show is just a sampling of the great music created in Canada, from long gone bands like Maneige, to up-and-coming new bands like It, Mystery, and Half Past Four. I regularly play music by canadian bands, recently having done a special with music by Tempus Fugit, another up-and-coming band, so today I concentrated on bands I haven't played in a long while, or even haven't played at all, except for those bands who just released new CDs.
On a sad note, Alberto Bonomi from the italian jazz fusion band D.F.A., died tragically in a car accident near his home in Verona. Even though the band had called it quits due to personal reasons, this is sad news indeed. In honor of Alberto, you will hear one of his compositions taken from the last D.F.A. cd, 4th.

the laylist is as follows:
1. The Camera Eye, by Rush (Moving Pictures, Remastered Deluxe 2011)
2. September Solitudes, by The D Project (Shimmering Lights, 2006)
3. Biel, by Half Past Four (Rabbit in the Vestibule, 2008)
4. Les aventures de Saxinette et Clarophone, by Maneige (Les Porches, 1975)
5. Ghost, by Devin Townsend Project (Ghost, 2011)
6. Blackberry, by Devin Townsend (Ghost, 2011)
7. Intermission, by Saga (Heads or Tales, 1983)
8. Cat Walk, by Saga (Heads or Tales, 1983)
9. Life on the Line, by Rob Moratti (Victory, 2011)
10. Standing on the Top of the World, by Rob Moratti (Victory, 2011)
11. Nobody's Perfect, by Kaos Moon (After the Storm, 1994)

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.

IPRS 75 Ready for Download
Dear listeners, this week show #75 is now available for your listening pleasure. As you may have noticed, this week on the UK70s Prog Rock radio station, two IPRSs played back to back, for a grand total of 6 hours of music. That was due to problems in file transfers the week before, which is the reason why there was no radio show last week. The solution found by my friend Wayne, the owner of the radio station, was to play both this week, so you've got him to thank. Like the previous show, this one is full packed with new and future releases. Music by Yes, Sky Architect, and the Devin Townsend Project will be released later this month, so you'll get to hear these as previews of these new CDs. I enjoyed them immensely, and I hope you do too.
At first, I was surprised by fellow canadian Devin Townsend's Deconstruction CD. I admit that I was and am not usually a fan of hard metal prog, with what I call "death grunts", but after listening to the CD over and over (to really give it a chance and be objective) I realized that Deconstruction is closer in spirit to Frank Zappa's music. It is funny, and technically brilliant. It's still not totally my cup of tea, and his second release, Ghost, is more to my liking. Listen to them and tell me what you think.
As for Sky Architect and their wonderful new release, if everything goes well I will hopefully do an interview with them for next week's show.
One more thing before you download the radio show: this week the website got its 10,000th visitor for this past year!! It was someone from around London in the UK. If that person would like to leave his or her name and address by emailing me at progrockshow(at)hotmail.com, I might have something for them. I have a feeling we will get the 1000th download since January 2011 this week. I thank you all for coming by and listening to the show.
To download show 75 click here (Podcast no longer available). The play list is as follows:
1. Magic, by Travellers (A Journey Into the Sun Within, 2011)
2. Timebends, by Long Distance Calling (Long Distance Calling, 2011)
3. Middleville, by Long Distance Calling (Long Distance Calling, 2011)
4. Devitrification Parts I, II & III, by C-Sides (Devitrification, 2011)
5. We Can Fly (Radio Edit), by Yes (We Can Fly CDS, 2011)
6. Difference in the World, by Styx (Regeneration Volume 1, 2010)
7. Flying to the Sun, by Anima Mundi (The Way, 2010)
8. Outside the Gloom, by Mindgames (MMX, 2010)
