  • Progradar Best Of 2016 – Gary Morley’s Top 10 With Statistics

    Progradar Best Of 2016 – Gary Morley’s Top 10 With Statistics

    I was supposed to have compiled a list of my top 10 ( I Think it was) albums of the year to be added to the sum worth of Progradar s scribbling? But I got sidetracked, applied work head and started an analysis what I’d bought and the statistics it presented me with. I blame…

  • Progradar Best Of 2016 – Leo Trimming’s Top 10

    Progradar Best Of 2016 – Leo Trimming’s Top 10

    Cosmograf – The Unreasonable Silence Simply stunning. Robin Armstrong has imagined a rich narrative of alien incursion (or paranoid breakdown?!) with sonic brilliance. The imaginative story is unnerving, whilst the music is captivating on a human level but cinematic in scope – ranging from crunching Purple riffs, through atmospheric acoustic passages to sweeping Floydian soundscapes.…

    Anderson/Stolt – Invention of Knowledge Expansive and spiritual in the vein of Tales From Topographic Oceans, this album–like all things Yes these days–has sharply divided the prog world’s opinions.

    Here’s my Top Ten, in no particular order. You can disagree with me as much as you want, but I’m still right. Bad Elephant Music releases are excluded. I don’t want to die.

    Progradar Best of 2016 – Emma Roebuck’s Top 10

    Emma’s 10 for the year November 2015 to November 2016. It’s difficult to select 10 out of a whole year of frankly remarkable music. This selection is based on what I have listened to outside my radio show and reviewing schedule. No doubt I will change it in 2 days or more but this is…
