This is a newly remastered version of the Jon Anderson Change We Must album.

This instrumental album is quite strong. One might quibble with the progressive rock heading, but if it fits anywhere else it would be under fusion.

Music this strange shouldn’t be this compelling.

This compilation album from Blodwyn Pig is interesting.

Is this album progressive rock? Probably not. It’s definitely progressive music, though.

I can see some people arguing about this landing under progressive rock.

The mix of sounds on this CD is pretty impressive.

The concept here is intriguing. The songs here all started as Chords of Truth songs, falling into the folk heading.

The mix of sounds here is intriguing.

This is a dramatic and ambitions album. In terms of entertainment value, it’s perhaps a bit lacking.

The album L'Étérnité Immédiate II was an extremely limited release.

I don’t know for sure where this group fits musically.

I can imagine people quibbling with my classifying this as progressive rock. Clearly the “rock” part isn’t here.

Pontus H.W. Gunve's new live EP challenges, invigorates, and inspires.

This is cool stuff. It’s always left-of-center, but it’s amazing how mainstream these guys can often make that.

This is arguably the strangest album the Hawkwind catalogue.

This is a cool set. It is clearly not for everyone, though.

What an amazing set this is. It’s a collection of covers all delivered in an organic, soulful approach.

To describe this in one word would be to say “weird.” That doesn’t really encompass all of it here.

This collection is a lot of literally “homebrewed” pieces by Steve Howe.

This is Steve Howe’s first fully acoustic studio album.

This is a pretty intriguing set.

Although this album is strictly instrumental, it’s one of the most “Yes-like” of Steve Howe’s solo catalog.

What an odd name for a band.

This is a purely instrumental album with a pretty wide range of sounds.

I’m going to land this one under progressive rock, but I could see people having a problem with that.

In a lot of ways this makes me think of Dream Theater. Of course, when you’ve got heavy, progressive music with James LaBrie singing, that makes sense.

This album is quite cool. First off, it’s a limited edition, colored vinyl record.

I can definitely see some people disagreeing with this landing in progressive rock. For my money, though, it fits.

Every once in awhile, I discover a great new band, but recently, I’ve discovered several bands that have been around for a decade or more that leave me mystified as to how I missed them all this time.  

I really like everything here. The power and majesty of these songs is great.

To a large degree you know what you will get with a Nox Arcana album.

This is quite an interesting album. It’s space rock, but there is a lot of punk rock edge to it.

Mike Pinder is best known as the original keyboardist for the Moody Blues.

This is a new issue of old independent release from Paul Roland.

Steve Hillage is best known for his work with Gong and his solo work.

Saga is such a cool band. And, with Michael Sadler back, it’s the original voice.

The last couple albums from William Shatner have landed in my “best of” lists for those two years.

These guys always create great fusion.

This four track EP is pretty cool.

The latest installment in the series by Space Mirrors, this continues their exploration of the writings of H.P. Lovecraft.

This is quite a unique and effective set.

I know this guy is considered jazz.

I’ve certainly heard of this group over the years, but I don’t think I’ve actually heard them before.

I really love this instrumental album.

I’m not the biggest fan of modern nu-metal.

The term "Iron Man" will usually bring to mind either a red-and-gold armored superhero or maybe Black Sabbath’s seminal heavy metal tune.

This double disc set (on colored vinyl) is a reissue of the Stampede album by Krokus. 

This is quite an effective metal album.

This double disc set is an unusual one.

These guys are a metal band from Georgia who sound more like a European epic metal band.

This is a pretty awesome metal album.

I know the title says this is a “metal” tribute, but I question whether the person who gave it that title knows what “heavy metal” is.

Other than drums, this is a one man show.

There is a real world music vibe to much of this album.

This hip hop album is fairly diverse.

This is a pretty good set. The mix of sounds is interesting and musically it’s always good.

This is world music. At times one might call it progressive world music because it has a lot of proggy elements.

Skylar Elise can certainly sing. One would think that no matter her age.

This live recording from Jeff Healey dates all the way back to December 1988.

Sometimes less is more. I tend to think that’s the case here.

This EP is quite good. It’s not without problems, though.

This is great. It feels quite retro in a lot of ways, but there are modern elements here, too.

Fans of old school R&B and soul will love this. It’s really quite retro in texture. There’s nothing here that doesn’t work quite well.

This is a good album. It’s got some cool songs.

We’ve all heard the stories of cancelled gigs.

This four track EP is quite intriguing.

I really like this EP a lot. It’s got an intriguing set of sounds.

I was so anxious for this album's release that I actually downloaded a copy (legally, of course!) before waiting for it to appear in my local record store. 

I like this album a lot.

This is both a Christmas song and children’s song.

This EP is described as a tribute to Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters and each song has links to that (most of the time through spoken samples at the very least).

This four track EP is pretty impressive.

How many bands have forty five years between studio recordings?

Status Quo is one of those legendary bands that are more or less a cult group.

I like this album a lot. Parts of it land pretty close to modern progressive rock like Radiohead.

This five track EP is quite cool.

Benefit albums can be difficult to review because you get a bunch of artists who are generous enough to submit their art for charity. 

What a cool album this is.

I wish there was more here than just these four songs.

This is quite a cool EP.

I can still remember when the Perfect Strangers album was released.

I have to admit, I never heard of this band before.

This is arguably Dream Theater’s best live video released thus far.

First off, I have to admit that I was one American who had probably never heard anything from Europe other than “Final Countdown.”

The title here is appropriate because watching this documentary it’s obvious these guys work hard.

What an awesome product this is!

I don’t know how to try to recommend this to fans of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead.
