The first in a new occasional series of podcasts from the creators of The European Perspective, and going out in the same weekly 'slot' on The Dividing Line!
'Castaways' is inspired by (some may say ripped off from) the long-running and popular show on BBC Radio 4, 'Desert Island Discs', in which guests are asked to select the pieces of music they would take with them if they had to live alone on a desert island. As you might expect I've 'progged up' the format somewhat, and will be asking my guests to choose ten albums they'd have with them on their sojourn, together with a selection of individual songs to comprise a 'mix tape' - basically, enough music to fill a European Perspective length show.
My first guest is Martin Morgan, the driving force behind Yak, and, indeed, the first ever guest on The European Perspective way back in November 2008. As well as choosing an excellent selection for the show, Martin also talk a little about the next Yak album, The Quest For The Stones, and joins me in making short work of quite a lot of Hob Nobs.
Yak's most recent album, The Journey Of The Yak, is available from the Yak website at http://www.yaksongs.com/ - all proceeds from the album go towards supporting the Tower Hill Stables Animal Sanctuary, run by Martin and his partner Fiona. If you like instrument symphonic progressive rock - and who doesn't? - then you could do much worse than buy it.
Hope you all enjoy the show - I'd be interested to hear everyone's views on the format!
Martin's album selections are in bold.

To borrow a phrase from that nice Mr. Portnoy of Dream Theater and Transatlantic fame, "nothing but f****** epics" on this week's European Perspective. Eleven pieces of music from some of the very best British and European progressive rock bands, each of which is over twenty minutes in length, and all released this decade - proving once and for all that the prog epic is not dead.
If I've missed out your favourite, then let me know - maybe this is a concept deserving of an Episode 2!

2010 is half-way through, and it's already been a bumper year for progressive rock. In this episode of The European Perspective Huw and I take a break-neck tour through the progressive sounds of the year so far, including - for the very first time on the show - some music originating outside Europe or the UK.
Included in the show, and hot off the press, are three tracks from Godsticks' debut album 'Spiral Vendetta'. Godsticks are a band from Wales, old friends of TEP, and very much worth supporting for their unique brand of quality music - their album is now available from the band website at http://www.godsticks.co.uk and is well-worth a purchase. You certainly won't regret it!

The third and final part of Progyears '75 this week - albums of the year from Steve Hackett and Hatfield and the North, together with sizeable slabs of Jethro Tull and Brian Eno, and a bit of a walk on the wild side with the likes of Henry Cow, Neu! and Amon Duul II.
I'm not going to be doing any more seventies Progyears for a while. I'll probably return to them after a break, but for the time being I've got some other, more recent years I'd like to do. Stay tuned for '2001 - A Europrog Odyssey', which will follow in due course

No, not a tribute to the lead single from Electrix Six's classic 2003 album 'Fire' - that's next week - but a miscellany of music from bands who performed at this weekend's High Voltage festival in Victoria Park in London. Expect a smattering of straight-down-the-line rock and metal as well as the usual progressive fayre!
Also, a 'debrief' from the excellent Black Bonzo gig at the Lumiere in Kilburn last Friday, with their special guest being the inestimable Mr. Declan Burke. A great night out!

The main feature in this week's European Perspective is an interview with Darran Charles and Steve Roberts from Godsticks, the Welsh band who made such a hit on the progressive scene with the release of their first full-length album, Spiral Vendetta, a few weeks back. It's always a pleasure to chat to the guys, and I hope you all enjoy the interview, which is accompanied as ever, with clips from the album. You can buy the CD from the band website at:

The first of two 'summer specials' to tide all you European Perspective addicts over the next couple of weeks while I'm away in Cornwall on holiday.
The Seventies saw the advent of the prog epic, and in this show we go for a trip down memory lane and have a listen to just fifteen of the very best.

This week's episode of The European Perspective is a sort of 'listening party' for the release of the new album by English proggers Tinyfish, entitled the Big Red Spark. Three years in the making this partly conceptual record cuts completely new ground for the band, and also for the genre in general, incorporating the Tinyfish brand of modern progressive rock with Robert Ramsay's innovative use of narrative elements in both song lyrics and spoken word, and is most certainly one of the key releases of the year.
I've been lucky enough to have the collaboration of all of the members of the band, and particularly Simon Godfrey and Robert Ramsay, who effectively co-present this show with me. First there's a review of the Tinyfish catalogue to date, with the tracks selected by the members of the band's internet forum, The Fishtank. Then we examine some of the influences though a compilation of songs selected by each band member as being either influential on them as musicians, or on the Big Red Spark album itself. Finally we present the new album in its entirety, with insights from Rob and Simon on its production and content. There's also a couple of surprises along the way!
The Big Red Spark is released on 13th September and can be pre-ordered here directly from the band's website.

Anyone looking for a cornucopia of yer typical prog music this week needs to beware! There's a bit of that with new albums from Three Monks and Flying Circus, but show is largely a product of what I've been listening to this last week or so, which is largely not progressive rock!
So you get loads of music which is progressive rather than 'prog' - Richard Thompson (one of my all-time musical heroes), the next portion of Those Men's Theman Simpulse, and some great instrumental stuff from the latest Colossus compliation, a tribute to Italian film music, called Cani Arrabbiati. I've also put some stuff in that is genuinely wonderful, but which you're unlikely to hear on any other progressive rock podcast. Listen in to find out all about it...
You'll laugh! You'll cry! You'll go out and spend all your money on more music!
