THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #337 (Unearthing Treasure) I’ve found many great independent artists during my 6 years at KPTZ. And I’ve come to realize that just because an artist isn’t a big name, or are on a big label, doesn’t mean they’re not producing top-quality music. I consider all the artists on this week’s show […]
THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #335 (Prog, As It Comes) Some editions of The Progressive Tracks Show just ‘make themselves’…music appears, and the result is a great listen! PLAYLIST: Crystal Beth – “Invocation” from Push Thru on 7dMedia (2019) Richard Pinhas & Tatsuya Yoshida – “Ignition” from Ascension on Magaibutsu Limited (2019) PAK – “Reflection Consumer” […]
Tatsuya Yoshida and Zeuhl masters, Koenjihyakkei, will soon present an updated version of their classic “Angherr Shisspa” album, complete with live tracks from a 2005 concert in Japan. “Angherr Shisspa Revisited” is scheduled for release later this month. Progzilla Radio has the honor of premiering one of these live tracks, “Rattims Friezz”, to the world […]
THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #327 (Burn Through These Constructs) This week we’ll not only continue our musical depiction of the state of the world, but we’ll also explore how we can get to some personal peace, despite it all. And remember, you can access podcasts of any previous Progressive Tracks Show at: http://www.progzilla.com/?s=progressive+tracks (there are over 160 […]
THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #326 (Progressive Infinite Regress) How do you depict the state of the world with music? 1. The DJ shuts up and lets the music do the talking. 2. The listeners make their own conclusions about what the music is saying to them (without being offended). 3. Everyone allows everyone else to […]
PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #323 (Get Out and LIVE a Little) Listening to music at home or with friends is certainly a relaxing pastime. But nothing compares to seeing artists at their best in a live setting. There are plenty of great artists on tour who are coming to Seattle (and book your musical entertainment for […]
PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #322 (Apollo 11 – Prog You To The Moon And Back) This week’s edition of The Progressive Tracks Show is a creation; an experience best enjoyed in solitude. The (mostly) instrumental songs and historical audio clips were carefully pieced together to evoke emotion; to portray the Apollo 11 mission through the emotional power […]
Mainstream music listeners consider classic progressive rock ‘diving deep’. But if you’re a Prog aficionado, you long for more than that. Much lies beneath the surface, if you just dive in a bit deeper. But isn’t that what you count on The Progressive Tracks Show for… to do the deep diving for you? Why, right […]
THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #319 (Still Exploring The Backlog) 2019 is proving to be a most prolific one for progressive rock artists… and a challenge. So much music… so little time. So we’ll keep exploring the backlog of music this week… and it’s all impressive! And remember, you can access podcasts of any previous Progressive […]
