The latest in a very long line of excellent prog albums from Ukrainian artist Antony Kalugin.

Verdict โ€ฆ An important album, if only to act as a permanent reminder that Roger was musically as active as ever nearing the start of his ninth decade.

However, in terms of live releases I favour the far superior In The Flesh, recorded way back in 2000.

The recently released collaboration from Gavin Harrison and Mastodon guitarist Nick Johnston.

If you like Allan Holdsworth then chances are youโ€™ll appreciate this.

Happy 65th birthday to the irreplaceable Neal Morse.

I consider myself an atheist, agnostic at best, but have always found Nealโ€™s music (whether solo, with Transatlantic or the NMB) so beautifully uplifting.

Like many, Iโ€™ve lost count of the number of epics heโ€™s given us.

For me, Raven is the best album released in the past quarter century.

An interesting series of articles in this monthโ€™s @ProgMagazineUK but TBH (perhaps controversially for some, even most folk) Iโ€™ve never regarded Kate Bush as a prog rock artist (not that it really matters โ€ฆ whatโ€™s in a name?)

Innovative, theatrical, certainly arty; but prog?

My favourite album of the year (the one Iโ€™ve played most) remains Karmakanicโ€™s Transmutation.

However, the purest in me is finding it difficult to look beyond this for the prog album of the year.

Happy 50th birthday to this absolute monster of an album, for me (along with SBS that preceded it) Sabbathโ€™s best and certainly their heaviest.

5 โญ๏ธ from the thunderous Hole In The Sky through to the vitriolic The Writ (Ozzyโ€™s open letter to their then record label Vertigo).
