…and we’re back! The two hundred and fiftieth European Perspective – who would have thought I’d still be doing this after all this time? Certainly not me…
Thanks to everyone who has made enquiries about the show, and its return to the podsphere. It wouldn’t be half as much fun without you.
To mark this landmark I’ve asked a number of regular listeners and musicians in the progressive rock arena to list their ten favourite albums released since the year 2000. There’s a total of 250, and over the next shows I’ll be unveiling them piecemeal. The first selection is from Mike Morton, composer and lead singer with The Gift, a regular favourite on the show. Mike’s selections are fascinating, and really not what you’d think from a gent who by his own admission is a huge lover of Seventies’ progressive rock.
Also, of course, Martin Hutchinson is back with another set of Progradar’s Picks!
