Soundscape 320 Progbag

Compared to recent episodes, this is a lazy collection of music. As I am getting ready for the 1994 show, my attention has been on listening to music from that era, but with all of this research of the past, I am missing the newest material. As a result, this episode is all about catching up, mostly blindly. Still, we collected some great new material for you to listen to, and threw in some older stuff when possible.  On April 23rd we will peruse the music of 1994.  Artist Title Duration Album Year Marillion Map Of The World 4:54 Anoraknophobia   The Far Cry Crossing Pangea 12:31 Once There Was 2025 Let See Thin Story of My Life 5:24 Machine Called Life 2025 IQ Far from Here 12:40 Dominion 2025 The Swan Chorus It's Not the End of the World 7:22 You're Despicable 2025 Moe.

Jamprov!

If I had lots of extra time, I would run a show specifically based on Jam and Improvisation. In the live and spontaneous creation of music is where we can find the greatest adventures in sound. There are certainly moments in which the fruits of the labor come back without the treasure that they were seeking, but the times that our musician friends do find their way out into the chaotic cosmos and find the gold in the shadow, that is when you can really get turned on and tuned in, and perhaps if you are lucky dropped out. I have tried to provide some examples of amazing jams for those who don't seek out such journeys. I have included Jam Bands and Jazz Fusion, but there is so much more out there to explore- suffice to say, we will come back to this theme in the near future.   That said we have some upcoming shows to look out for: On the 9th we will have a more spontaneous show featuring some of the newest music that is coming out- as well as some old favorites, and then on the 23rd we will turn our attention to the year 1994 as part of our continued drive towards 2024.   Artist Title Duration Album Year The Grateful Dead Playing In The Band 19:54 Sunshine Daydream: Veneta, Or, August 27Th, 1972 2013 Panzerballett Iron Maiden Voyage 7:19 Panzerballett 2005 Liquid Tension Experiment Paradigm Shift 8:55 Liquid Tension Experiment 1998 Out Of Focus I'm Kissing Right 10:34 Palermo 1972 David Sancious I Could Fall In Love With You (Again) 6:19 9 Piano Improvisations 2000 Papadosio X Ram Dass Cutting Through the Drama 7:09 Improvisations with Ram Dass 2024 Medeski Martin & Wood Is There Anybody Here That Love My Jesus 4:24 Shack-Man 1996 Frank Zappa The Torture Never Stops 12:36 Zappa In New York (2) 1976 The Allman Brothers Band & Branford Marsalis Dreams 13:06 Alltel Pavilion At Walnut Creek, Raleigh, NC: 8/10/2003 [Live] [Disc 3] 2003 King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard The River 24:44:00 Live In Chicago '23 2023 Phish David Bowie 35:40:00 Live Phish 20: 12.29.94 - Providence Civic Center, Providence, Rhode Island 2003 Dave Matthews Band All Along The Watchtower [Live] 13:00 The Central Park Concert [Disc 3] 2003

Back in Time to 1984

Some time in the past I started counting up to the best of the year show. That meant going back across the decades, maybe to compare years. Well, 1984 in prog holds no comparison to last year whatsoever. Many will argue that there is much more prog to pull from than I pulled from here, that is likely true, but this was an endeavor to give you some of 1984 that I found the most meaning and joy in. That means that new wave rears up along with other genres, but I always tried to make the connection to prog rock. There were a few misses. For instance, I could have been more careful with the break in Roger Waters- it is hard to find a stopping point in the album as it all bleeds together. The best way is to listen to Pros and Cons is all the way through, with headphones, in a blacklit room. There is also that the Russ Ballard song I chose is not in fact from 1984- my mistake.    The next show will be help on March 26th and we will feature jam bands and improvisational prog.  Here is the 1984 setlist: Artist Title Duration Album Year Craft Aries 5:48 Craft 1984 Deep Purple Perfect Strangers 5:11 Perfect Strangers 1970 XTC Wake Up 4:29 The Big Express 1984 King Crimson Sleepless 5:04 Three of a Perfect Pair 1984 Laszlo Benko Mambo 2:30 Lexikon 2 1970 Osiris Who Remembers 4:44 Myths And Legends (Vinyl) 1984 The Fixx Less Cities, More Moving People 3:27 Phantoms 1984 Camel Cloak and Dagger Man 3:43 Stationary Traveller 1984 Russ Ballard Voices 5:30 Anthology 1986 Planet P Project Power 4:14 Pink World [Definitive Edition] 1985 Jefferson Starship Layin' It On The Line 4:07 Nuclear Furniture (Vinyl) 1984 Solaris M'ars poetica 6:21 The Martian Chronicles 1983 Gerard Orpheus 8:34 Gerard (Vinyl) 1984 Jerome Langlois LE BALLON I 7:24 THEMES, solo piano 2011 Anthony Phillips February 4:24 Private Parts and Pieces, Part V 'Twelve' 1985 Weird Al Yankovic King Of Suede 4:07 In 3-D 1984 Michael Shrieve Transfer Station Blue 11:41 Transfer Station Blue (With Kevin Shrieve & Klaus Schulze) 1984 Jean-Michel Jarre Blah-Blah Cafe 3:20 Zoolook 1984 Howard Jones Equality 4:18 Human's Lib 1984 Oingo Boingo Gratitude 5:11 So Lo 1988 Billy Squier (Another) 1984 4:45 Signs Of Life 1984 Iron Maiden Back in the Village 5:01 Powerslave 1984 Yngwie J.

Soundscape 3.17 Con-Fusion

Let me preface this episode by pointing out, I don't believe I am a fusion fan. What this means for you the listener is that you may not find my taste in fusion is similar to yours. Despite this obvious detractor from a tour of fusion and jazz prog, I believe we put together quite a nice set of fusiony goodness in this episode.  Next show will be 2/26 and we will be heading back to the music of 1984.  Artist Title Duration Album Year Frank Zappa Peaches In Regalia 3:29 Hot Rats 1969 Return To Forever Theme To The Mothership 8:38 Hymn Of The Seventh Galaxy 1973 Dewa Budjana Queen Kanya 6:53 Mahandini 2018 Arcana Into The Circle 9:18 Arc Of The Testimony 1997 ManDoki Soulmates Devil's Encyclopedia 5:44 A Memory Of Our Future 2024 Chicago Questions 67 And 68 4:38 Chicago Transit Authority 1969 Weather Report Birdland 5:53 Heavy Weather 1977 Antoine Fafard & Gavin Harrison Dark Wind 5:39 Perpetual Mutations 2024 Dixie Dregs Travel Tunes 4:23 What If 2024 Brand X Hate Zone 4:33 Moroccan 1977 The Bad Plus Tom Sawyer 4:59 Prog 2007 One Shot Ewaz Vader 10:29 Ewaz Vader 2006 The United Jazz & Rock Ensemble Stumbling Henry's Divorce March 7:09 Teamwork 2010 Hiromi Time Out 6:34 Time Control 2007 Steely Dan Show Biz Kids 5:07 Countdown To Ecstasy 1973 Tony Levin Espressoville 4:53 Bringing It Down to the Bass 2024 Guthrie Govan Wonderful Slippery Thing 3:17 Erotic Cakes 2006 Arco Iris Necksa 8:04 Los Elementales 1977 Pekka Pohjola Vapour Trails 4:38 Visitation 1979 Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood Tequila And Chocolate 6:22 Out Louder 2006 Jeff Beck Cause We've Ended As Lovers 5:34 Blow by Blow 1975 The Tony Williams Lifetime Mr. Spock 6:07 Believe It (Vinyl) 1975 Al Di Meola Midnight Tango 7:22 Elegant Gypsy 1977 Jean-Luc Ponty As 5:44 Mystical Adventures 1981 Andreas Vollenweider Night Fire Dance 4:43 Down To The Moon 1986 Gamalon 1969 3:09 Aerial View 1990 Kenso Ryu no Mai 6:46 An old warrior shook the Sun 2024 The Keith Tippett Group Black Horse 5:49 Dedicated To You, But You Weren't Listening 1971 Santana Samba Pa Ti 4:22 Abraxas [Original Master Recording] 1970 Pat Metheny Here, There And Everywhere 4:16 Moondial 2024

Soundscape 315 Back to 1974

We nod to our past, by decade, as part of our countdown to the music of 2024. It's an interesting way to view the music we love decade by decade. It's not a best-of-show but instead, an attempt to give you a small swath of the music that emerged in 1974. As part of creating a theme, I find pleasant surprises and long-forgotten music, and if I feel some connection- you get the music. So join us for this all-too-short trip back to the year 1974.   Next time, we will jaunt merrily into the world of jazz rock and fusion prog.  Artist Title Duration Album Year Walsh, Joe Pavane Of The Sleeping Beauty 1:53 So What 1974 Walsh, Joe Time Out 4:14 So What 1974 Deep Purple Stormbringer 4:02 Stormbringer 1974 David Bowie 1984 3:12 Diamond Dogs 1974 Triumvirat Triangle 6:52 Illusions on a Double Dimple 1974 Triumvirat Illusions 1:43 Illusions on a Double Dimple 1974 Triumvirat Dimplicity 5:38 Illusions on a Double Dimple 1974 Electric Light Orchestra Mister Kingdom 5:02 Flashback 2000 Kansas Death Of Mother Nature Suite 7:41 Kansas 1974 Uriah Heep Wonderworld 4:26 Wonderworld (2004 Remaster) 1974 Gentle Giant Aspirations 4:29 The Power and the Glory 1974 Premiata Forneria Marconi Via Lumiere 7:02 L'isola Di Niente 1974 Gong A P.H.P.'s Advice 1:47 You 1974 Gong Magick Mother Invocation 2:06 You 1974 Gong A Sprinkling Of Clouds 8:44 You 1974 Styx A Song for Suzanne 5:13 Man of Miracles 1974 Bad Company Rock Steady 3:41 Bad Co 1974 The Grateful Dead Unbroken Chain 6:38 From The Mars Hotel (Vinyl) 1974 Focus Birth 7:38 Hamburger Concerto 1974 Traffic Graveyard People 6:02 When The Eagle Flies 1974 Jazz Q Carodej (The Wizard) 16:16 Symbiosis 1974 Steely Dan Pretzel Logic 4:23 Pretzel Logic 1974 Camel Nimrodel-The Procession-The White Rider 9:05 Mirage 1974 Billy Cobham Spanish Moss, A Sound Portrait: Spanish Moss 3:55 Crosswinds 1974 Billy Cobham Spanish Moss, A Sound Portrait: Savannah the Serene 4:59 Crosswinds 1974 Billy Cobham Spanish Moss, A Sound Portrait: Storm 2:47 Crosswinds 1974 Billy Cobham Spanish Moss, A Sound Portrait: Flash Flood 5:01 Crosswinds 1974 Frank Zappa Stink Foot 6:27 Apostrophe 1974 Genesis In the Cage 8:06 The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway 1974 Blue Oyster Cult Flaming Telepaths 5:19 Secret Treaties 1974 Rush Working Man 7:06 Rush 1974 Yes Sound Chaser 9:23 Relayer (Steven Wilson Remix 2015) 1974 Supertramp Crime Of The Century 5:15 Crime Of The Century 1974 Bob Dylan Forever Young 4:50 Planet Waves (Vinyl) 1974
