Renowned novelist John Irving once remarked that the stereotype of the American writer, extravagant talents flaming out their skills and lives in a blast of illness and addiction, struck him as terribly misguided.

The whole “do an album of covers” concept is a popular approach these days.

This is an enjoyable read that saunters through the chronology and culture of progressive rock.

This is a pretty impressive set. It is progressive rock, with an emphasis on piano, but there is a lot of range here.

This two disc set wasn't an easy pick between the three Transatlantic DVD's on the market, but ultimately I chose this one because I could review it at MSJ as it hadn’t been covered yet.

Transatlantic covered all the albums and spread their material evenly throughout the night.

I like this set a lot. It lands mostly in the progressive rock meets fusion territory, but there are some other things going on here.

In the second half of their career, Marillion have distinguished themselves as an uniquely creative act able to maintain a high level of artistic excellence while managing to navigate their way through the tumultuous waters of The Music Business, circa late 20th-early 21st century.

Books written by music fans are very far and few between.
