Ok friends, my computer is back and running as fast as lightning, thanks to my computer guru! The only problem is that the show I was working on at the end of January has to be re-done. No big deal. Look for it soon on a Mix Cloud near you! Thank you for your patience!!!

Jon Anderson remembers "And You and I," which became Yes' fourth consecutive Top 50 single after its release this week in 1972.

Due to technical difficulties that are apparently beyond my control, the next trance-mission of Uncommon Light will be delayed for an undetermined length of time. I'll update when I can. Thanks Mercury Retrograde!

Here it is folks! Holiday music that's a little out of the ordinary. Enjoy, and Happy Holidays!

The Holiday trance-mission of Uncommon Light. Music by Crash Test Dummies, Bruce Cockburn, Vince Guaraldi Trio, Kate Bush, and...rubberbands...that's right, Christmas music played on rubberbands. Happy Solstice, Happy Holidays!

Synth&Sequences is online since August 2010 and is completely dedicated to Electronic Music (EM) identified as Berlin, England and Netherlands School and even progressive New Age. Here you will find interviews and reviews of ambient, atmospheric, prog, sequenced and symphonic EM. You want your music…

Great review from The Philadelphia Inquirer!

Giving over a portion of your set to a synchronized percussion piece performed with virtuosic precision by a trio of drummers is the sort of thing that drives King Crimson's detractors to hurl accusations of indulgence.

I just have to record the voice tracks then place them in the mix and the next trance-mission of Uncommon Light will be complete and ready for upload. Barring any unforeseen problems, it should be available in a couple of hours!

Working on an ambient trance-mission of Uncommon Light Online which should be online within the next day or so...inspired in part by my early morning summer commutes along the back roads of Boone County, MO. I'll start work on a prog rock trance-mission shortly after I post the ambient. Stay tuned!

Interesting!

It may only end up being a one off, but the BBC seems to have persuaded Genesis members to perform together for the first time since Peter Gabriel parted ways with Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, T...

More info about the upcoming Genesis documentary from Tony Banks' page.

Genesis and the BBC have been working together over the last few months on GENESIS: TOGETHER AND APART

A feature length documentary on one of the most successful bands in rock history. From its first beginnings as a band of songwriters in the late 1960s to its final incarnation as a rock giant in the 1990s – via full-blown theatrical progressive rock in the mid-1970s and the subtler jazzy pop of the early 1980s – Genesis could perplex and enrage the die-hards, whilst exciting and exhilarating the newer disciples.

Made with the full co-operation of Genesis, the film reunites all original members of the band together – Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett, Mike Rutherford – for the first time since 1975.

The film recounts an extraordinary musical story, exploring the band’s songwriting as well as emotional highs and lows, alongside previously unseen archive material and rare performance footage across their entire career.

Transmission date to be confirmed.

A bit more of a delay in the uploading of the first show. I won't be able to get to it til later today. Been running Jenn's car around town to get it inspected, repaired and re-inspected.

05/26/2014

Well, the first show is "in the can"! However, uploading it to Mixcloud is an issue. The internet is rather busy at this hour and a storm rolling through is creating problems with a good connection. I'll try again later this evening...STAY TUNED
