Well folks, I finally got all of the Italian prog together for the show. Mind you, do not consider this to be definitive, complete, spoken correctly, or historically acurate. I have only just discovered the wonderful world of Italian Prog myself and I did what I could to pile up a bunch of good stuff. This week you will also here new music from Bittertown, Moon Safari, Billy Sherwood, Pineapple Thief, Senza Nome, Lorenzo Monni, Jennifer Batten, Errorhead, and D.F.A. There is a lot of good stuff to be heard and you will want to listen again, share with friends, mail it to strangers, and petition your senator for a grant to expand the Soundscape library.
If you enjoy this show, why not rate it over at podcast alley:
Also if you would like to contact me, let me know how you are doing, etc. I can be reached at woody@thedividingline.com
Next week's theme: Eco-prog I will be looking to create a 2 hour set of prog rock songs that focus on the environment, global warming etc. So if you have any ideas, please let me know.

At the begining of every month Soundscape brings you a brief look at the history of prog. This time around we are checking out material from the summer of 71 and that features Peter Hammill, Atomic Rooster, and Gentle Giant. My appologies to Peter Hammill fans, the tracks that I attempted to play were distorted, so we will get back to Peter in October. Also in this show I chat about my experiences at Dragoncon (profound and otherwise) and we present a short set of Dragoncon oriented music.

Hello to my fellow mad scientists and progonauts, this week dandy download is now available for your listening pleasure. The theme for this week is progressive music with a physics theme. I was actually quite surtprised to discover such a large conglomeration of songs that fit this theme. Also look out for new music from Anathema, Lunatic Soul, David Byrne & Brian Eno, Big Elf, Galexia and more.
This weeks show was one of the heaviest I have done in a long while. There is very little chance to relax, so I suggest you place yourself in a theta wave length during your journey so that the intensity of the journey can easily be digested. Alternatively, get in your car and take a 4 hour trip to someplace and let the music dictate the drive. You will be there sooner than you would guess, and you will likely crave a ciggarette.

Through dangers untold, and hardships un-numbered, I fought my way to the Goblin city...
The begining of this show was frought with complications, but I think I got away with it due to the awesomeness that exudes from the musical selections this week. In a recent meeting with one of the professors from Saybrook, Dr. Steven Pritzker, mentioned a new term that he was coining called the 'False Aha Moment'. The Aha moment, is that booming idea that comes loud and clear through us when we have a depth of clarity and a feeling that we have solved a problem or broken through a block, often shouting scientific hooha's from the bath such as "Eureka! I've just invented the bath plug!". The 'False Aha' would be when you felt equally excited and enlightened, but when turning your idea back out to others had the experience that suggested, you were not the genius you thought you were. This usually results in a patronizing pat on the back, and a sarcastic nice try comment.
The begining of this episode is one such moment. A creative spark, lit up a brush fire of litany, artsy fartsy sort of soliloquy thing. It may have even been a great idea, but I tried to cram so much into the moments leading up to the first song that I imagine I sound as if I am practicing to be an auctioneer at the local wordsmithing ball. So please indulge my verbosity, and enjoy this little excerpt of chaotic life thrown against the windows of time.
This week we get a blast from some fantastic new artists, The Source, and The Black Noodle Project, plus return to the early 80s and the birth of the neo-progressive movement. Also, at the end of the show we have a tribute to our beloved Richard Wright, keyboardist for Pink Floyd, who joined the heavenly jam session earlier this week. We will all miss Rick, but his music lives within us.

Do not fool yourself into thinking that there is a lot of yes in this episode. No Roger has illustrated an amazing proliferation of album covers. While not every one of them is progressive, many are. What follows then is a very eclectic set of music that will probably leave you wondering how it is that our musical tardis brought us here, You are likely to be puzzled and repulsed, but you may just find a gemstone amomgst the silt and if so we have done our job. As Suzi put it, "We go where the theme takes us". Indeed we went, we left the planet a few times leaving some of the chatters grabbing hold of the handrails and hanging on for dear life. At one point, I am sorry to say, we lost one of our passengers. Walter no longer to take the turbulence, fell out the door when the ship itself spiraled sideways into a folk rock black hole. The gravity outside of the vehicle was simply to much to keep brother Walter on board. We will make a rescue attempt when next we journey. However, to the brave remainders, I raise my glass to you Slainte Mhath! We will definitely be returning to Roger in the near future; We only scratched the surface.
Next week, Suzi and I will be out celebrating our 9th year of marital bliss. So I will throw the floor open to you guys. If you tell me before Saturday evening, which archive you would like to see in the list next week, I will happily throw it up on the board for your listening pleasure.
The week after we return, we will journey again to 1971, a year with lots of progravity and supranormal musical activity to investigate. Also Suzi will deliver our 3rd musical spelunking moment (which she is holding secret to even me at this time--I am sure the suspense will bring you along).
