THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #418 (“Might Be Astounding”) This week’s show is astounding! Well, it might be astounding. According to Mike. At least there’s some great music. Isn’t that enough? PLAYLIST: Guru Guru – “Electric Junk” from Hinten on Ohr (1971) Jack O’ The Clock – “The Butcher” from Leaving California on Cuneiform Records (2021) The […]
THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #417 (“The Fusioneers”) Progressive rock has a history of more than 50 years… and so current artists have a great deal of art to build on, while making their own sounds. The result is a glorious fusion! PLAYLIST: Nucleus – “We’ll Talk About It Later” from We’ll Talk About It […]
THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #416 (“It’s The Money, Fool…) KPTZ 91.9 FM is now 10 years old! Unfortunately, the expenses never end, so we’re in the middle of raising funds… and I’m not much for begging. But I have a solution to reconcile those thing: I’ll be in charge of celebrating… and the TUNES will […]
THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #415 (“A DJ’s Reclamation”) Every once in a while, you have to reenergize yourself. To remember why you’re doing what you’re doing… reclaim… and recommit to it. That’s kinda where I’m at right now. Let’s see if I can do that this week, with the help of some great artists. PLAYLIST: […]
THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #414 (“Your Prog Guide”) Feeling lost, musically? Why don’t you let Mr. ProgTracks show you the way? It’ll probably be OK… he thinks he knows where he’s going. PLAYLIST: Dust Mice – “Sky King” from Earth III on Independent (2021) Shem – “Night” from II on Independent (2021)” Caravan – “Winter […]
THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #413 (“A Break From These Times”) Heading into the 9th year of the show, I’m doing my best to provide you a weekly break from WHATEVER you’re dealing with during these unusual times. And that’s probably the best way to describe this week’s show: A break for all of us…from these […]
THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #412 (“ProgTracks 8th Anniversary”) It’s the 8th Anniversary of the show! No big deal. 412 shows… still not been sacked. ;o) PLAYLIST: Julie Slick – “No I in Love You” from No I in Love You – Single on Independent (2021) Andy Edwards – “The Anxiety Daemon” from Daemon on […]
THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #411 (“Feed Your Prog Habit”) Nobody likes to be constrained by a certain ‘theme’ or style… so this week we’re just going with whatever Mike wants to play (dont’ worry). Join in and feed your Prog habit… it’ll transform you! PLAYLIST: Corrado Rustici – “Halo Drive” from Interfulgent on Blue Whispers […]
THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #410 (“Themeless… We Are Themeless…”) The themeless streak (or drought, if you’re a ‘glass half empty type) continues… Lots of great new music. Another classic Golden Tracks album turning 50. Surely, isn’t that enough? PLAYLIST: The Doors – “The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)” from L.A. Woman on Rhino/Elektra […]
THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #409 (“Passing Through… Passing On…”) Life’s short. We’re all just passing through before we pass on. Listen to all the music you can. That is all.
