At this very moment, I am listening to one of my favorite podcasts from "The PM Show" (#159), and specifically, a track entitled "Luminescence", by Monarch Trail (2014). Recommended. A highly accomplished updating of the classic prog style.
Moving on to a track by Nad Sylvan, "To The Green Faerie" (2013). A very charming track, channeling the classic mid-70s Genesis sound. Nad's voice is a dead ringer for the early Phil Collins style (when he featured his softer, lighter voice....in other words, pre-"In The Air Tonight")
And now the podcast moves to a stately instrumental track by Camel entitled "Ice" (1979). Excellent synthesizer solo from Kit Watkins, and similarly excellent acoustic and electric guitar work from Andy Latimer, an English guitarist who, fortunately, is still among the living.
Also featured on this podcast:
1. A short track from Animals As Leaders, a first-rate contemporary heavy fusion group (2011).
2. "Neurotica", a mid-period Rush track (1991) from "Roll The Bones".
3. "Kayla", by Flying Colors (2012)
4. "On An Island" (2006) by Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour. Langourous and dreamy. Just a beautiful song.
.....and more.
The only dud, for me, is a long (18 minute) track from 1973 by a group named Eloy. The playing is amateurish and there's too much emphasis on the "new" possibilities provided by electronic sound modifying devices such as phasers, reverbs, etc. Horrible organ solo. Of historical interest only.
