    Episode 51: Jon and Vangelis Deep Dive, Part 1

    In this episode, we review the music of Jon Anderson and Vangelis (Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou) from the start of their partnership through the release of Friends Of Mr. Cairo. While their songs were each a short story sharing a page of life, some of Jon’s lyrics were perhaps better left in his private collection. But that never seemed to bother these two friends of Mr. Cairo. Coca say Tey Toka! Here’s a video of Jon Anderson on meeting Vangelis: https://youtu.be/OnTpgjvN5xc?si=f-tWLARRYl-9jmGn Catch our podcast, Prog Will Find a Way, on all the major streaming platforms: https://rss.com/podcasts/prog/

    Episode 50: Prog World Happenings, August 2025 Edition

    Welcome to our 50th episode! Lots of prog news, releases and reissues this month. Way more than we can cover in one episode, but we hit as many of the highlights as possible, including King Crimson and Peter Hammill. Jonathan forgets to mention the name of the upcoming Grateful Dead reissue with a Steven Wilson Atmos mix, which is Blues for Allah. In addition, Jay is in the midst of a book on Yes’ Tales From Topographic Oceans. We also answer the question, can you stream Dolby Atmos prog music? The answer is yes… and Yes! Here’s a link to the new American Prog magnum opus from Krakhouse, The Bastards of Prog: http://www.cuneiformrecords.com/bandshtml/krakhouse.html Catch our podcast, Prog Will Find a Way, on all the major streaming platforms: https://rss.com/podcasts/prog/
