    The Sound Chaser Progressive Rock Podcast is on the air. The show this time features pieces of music that an artist or band has recorded twice. This excludes live versions, with one exception of a song which was first released in a live version before getting a studio recording. All the rest are dual studio versions by artists using the same name to record both versions. It’s an enlightening course through the ways that musicians rethink the music that they make. I also have an In Memoriam feature for singer Máire Brennan. All that, plus news of tours and releases on Sound Chaser. Playlist1.

    The Sound Chaser Progressive Rock Podcast is on the air. The show this time is #3 in my series of progressive rock by artists not normally associated with progressive rock. We will see how in one way or another the influence of the progressive style for composition and performance has had a far-reaching influence, despite all the hatred from the music critics. So, sit back and take in sounds that are just a little bit different, both from the usual course of progressive rock and from the usual music these artists offer. In addition, I have an In Memoriam feature for keyboardist Christopher North. All that, plus news of tours and releases on Sound Chaser. Playlist1.
