Listener’s Choice this week, with an excellent, varied selection of music courtesy of Mr. Keith Fleeman. Many thanks for your choices, Ketih, this show was a real pleasure to make!

Keith’s brother Al released his lovely instrumental album The Water Is Wide Variations last year, and I’ve added a track into the show. You can buy Al’s record from his website – if you’re a fan of ambient and new-age styel music then you’ll love it.

It’s been a difficult week for The Dividing Line – more details in the show itself, and please visit the donations page to help us through getting it all sorted out.

No theme this week, just a collection of bangin’ prog toons – some old, some new, some requests, and some others which I just fancied playing!

The first Listener’s Choice of 2012 features a selection of fine progressive rock music by Simon Thompson, based up in the wilds of Scotland – thanks to Simon for choosing such an entertaining collection of fine tracks!

In addition, songs from new album releases that landed just a little too late to hit the 2011 shows, including a track from the excellent new DeeExpus album, King Of Number 33, and three from the latest Colossus project, Decameron.

Happy New Year!

As a counterpoint to the results of the listener’s poll from the last two shows, in this episode I present a selection from my own favourite albums of 2011. As well as many albums already represented in the Festive Fifty there are a few which didn’t feature in the poll, which probably says quite a lot about the perverse nature of my own musical tastes!

Here’s to a progtastic 2012, thank you all for listening during 2011, and I’ll be keeping you entertained with more quality British and European progressive music throughout the coming year.
