Join us this Saturday & Sunday night, Tuesday morning & Thursday morning this week for Program 1982. as we premiere new avant-progressive rock from northeast Ohio in the band Perfect and their January release titled Bodenote. In what is their now third album independently released, sees the Akron based project incorporate new elements of math rock & jazz fusion and sits just outside this week's WEEKLYTOP20. We'll also track new music from the �ventyr Records label that takes the top spot in the WEEKLYTOP20 as the new number one release from J�nk�ping, Sweden based band Hallas and their Panorama album. In just its second week, the response from our audience made it an undeniable top release just four years after their last release Isle Of Wisdom. This new progressive rock/progressive metal release sees the project take even bigger steps since their 2017 debut Excerpts From A Future Past. An already 'must get' for 2026 as it hits number one in just its second week!

Just following your weekly installment of The Stargazer's Handbook, your guide to all the astronomical events in the skies this coming week, we'll track the new release from Thinking Plague co-founder/guitarist/composer Mike Johnson and his new release on the Cuneiform Records label titled The Gardens Of Loss that hits the number seven spot in this week's WEEKLYTOP20. Mike Johnson draws deeply from the harmonically adventurous language of twentieth-century classical music, evident in the music�s ambiguous tonal centers and the disciplined intensity of his dense, intricately constructed compositions. Though self-taught like many rock musicians, Mike is exceptionally well-informed, and his synthesis of rock and classical traditions is both seamless and compelling. For the first time across his eight albums as leader of Thinking Plague, he has been able to place orchestral instrumentation at the very core of the project, using it not as ornamentation but as a foundational element of the work. We'll also flashback to forty years ago when Belgian masterminds Univers Zero would perform live at the 1986 Frankfurt Jazz Festival that would later be the 2009 release from Cuneiform Records titled Relaps. 

We'll also track new music in our 4th SET Space Out from the Discus Music label in the newest release from Orchestra Of The Upper Atmosphere and their Theta Seven release. In what is their seventh and final album, sees the project venture into the unmistakable sounds of Krautrock, textural improv, psychedelic, and even beautifully done free-jazz. Featuring the Discus Music fearless leader Martin Archer, he is also joined again on this with Radio Massacre International's Steve Dinsdale along with Jan Todd, Lorin Halsall and so many others. A PERFECT kick off of this week's 4th SET! Also in our 4th Set, we'll track the 25th anniversary of the collaborative release from Mark Hewins & the late great Elton Dean who sadly left us twenty years ago this week in the album titled Bar Torque from the Moonjune Records label. We'll also celebrate the fifty-fifth anniversary of the Soft Machine classic titled 4th from 1971.

Our 5th and final SET features new music that debuts at number nine in the WEEKLYTOP20 this week from the Moonjune Records label in the amazing Dewa Budjana & Czech Symphony Orchestra release titled PragueNayama. In his latest project, Dewa Budjana�s compositions celebrate the beauty inherent in difference, contrast, and opposites. The music unfolds with a distinctly meditative character, as recurring melodies invite reflection while unfolding within an ever-evolving tapestry of textures and a richly colored prism of shifting harmonies. 

We'll also celebrate the 50th anniversary of the performance that became my personal favorite release of 2011 in The Keyboard Circle and their February 1976 recording on VPRQ Radio in De Trucker Pijnacker, Holland. This utterly amazing and intimate concert, sees two of the three performers from the incredible Dutch band Scope in Rob Franken & Henk Zomer with Jan Huydts rounding out the fusion power trio! This album is truly a gem and an unforgettable document of music. We'll also flashback to 1976 in the self-titled debut release from the Champaign, Illinois based progressive rock band Starcastle along with the twentieth anniversary of another personal favorite in the Cuneiform Records recording artists based out of Asheville, North Carolina in Ahleuchatistas and their 2006 release What You Will that would later be voted by you, our audience as the #63 album in The GlobalProgressive Rock Network's Top 100 Of 2006. We'll also track what was number one five years ago this week, in Steven Wilson's Caroline Records release The Future Bites. We'll kick off this week's program with the 50th anniversary of Gong's Shamal release as well.

Again we'll close out with new music from what is our new number one album in the WEEKLYTOP20 from the �ventyr Records label and the Swedish based band Hallas and their new offering titled Panorama!
