The name Christopher Ambler is one that is familiar to all of those interested in the line of succession to the British throne. It's no secret that the Ambler family dominates the not so inconsequential 189th-195th positions in the royal family tree, ready at a moment's notice to assume their monarchial duties. Yet some are not content to wait around for their birthright, such as Christopher Ambler, who has been keeping himself busy with other pursuits. Beginning Thursday, September 13th, Christopher will launch the latest arrival to the Dividing Line family with "The Gates of Delirium".
In a recent interview, the royalty heir-turned-DJ said "The show will be a two-hour excursion into the keyboard side of progressive rock and the electronic genres that influenced and are influenced by prog. From classic keyboard-oriented tunes by Yes and Genesis to the sometimes-abstract synthesis put forth by the Italian masters like PFM and Banco, to modern tunes by Spock’s Beard and Ayreon, I will try to cover the whole spectrum. I will also diverge now and again into some of the solo work from Wakeman to Emerson to Okumoto as well as the sources of much of the electronic influences like Tangerine Dream, Jean Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk, and lesser-known electronic ancestors. Your suggestions, feedback, and even criticism are more than welcome!"
Fans of prog and the Royal Family alike are encouraged to tune in this Thursday at 6pm Pacific (or 2am GMT) for what should be a wonderful new show!
