Progmeister album of the year 2014
Well, it’s that time of year again. This year seems to have been a little bit thin on the ground with Prog releases and majored more on live shows than hard copy. However, as the saying goes “quality not quantity. So here is the Progmeister’s top five albums of the year. 1. NORTHLANDS / Tony …

Pink Floyd | The Endless River (vinyl)
Perhaps in many ways the most important album for many people in the world this year will be The Endless River, Pink Floyd’s swan song and final offering under such a ubiquitous marque.

Genesis revelations – Together & apart

The Meister’s Prog Chronicles
Rummaging in the attic recently i stumbled upon some old boxes that brought back many memories and emotions. Amongst the trinkets were some old concert programs, badges and ticket stubs from some of the most memorable gigs i attended over the years. It reaffirmed to me just how music chronicles your life and just …

Darryl Way | Children Of The Cosmos
Well, i have to admit to this album creeping up on me and almost dismissed it out of hand on first hearing it. Shame on me! In my own defense the reasons were many fold but i should know by now not to judge a book by it’s cover. Speaking of which, the cover of …
