Covering The World And Beyond....Join us at 10PM EDT for Program 1951, as we feature an exclusive interview with the great Kay Olsen of the Norwegian project that will release its debut on July 25th, 2025 to the world through The Laser's Edge record label in Agropelter and their release titled The Book Of Hours. Kay joins us to talk about his beginnings in the dominant Scandinavian progressive scene along with the incredible lineup that joins him in Jonas Reingold on fretless bass, Mattias Olsson on percussion/synth & atmospheres, Andreas Sjoen on drums, and mixing & mastering done by long time favorite on our program in Jacob Holm-Lupo. Kay tells us the story and the inspirations on a debut album that is soon to be one of the landmark albums of 2025. This release will be a MUST GET for 2025 bar none.

We'll premiere the new release from Swedish band Gosta Berlings Saga that moves into the top ten of this week's WEEKLYTOP20 titled Forever Now from the Pelagic Records label. Another release that people & reviewers alike state could be yet another candidate asThe Lost Satellite album of the year in the GlobalProgressive Rock Network's Top 100 Of 2025. 

Just following your weekly installment of The Stargazer's Handbook, your guide to all the heavenly astronomical sites to see this coming week, our THIRD SET kicks off with new music from the Cuneiform Records label in the Chicago based free jazz/improvisation project and their self-titled debut Heat On. This new late June '25 release features saxophonists Edward Wilkerson Jr. & Fred Jackson Jr. along with Nick Macri on bass and the band leader in the amazing Lily Finnegan on drums. Lily calls this debut release 'A Love Letter To Chicago'. This kicks off our set! The Philadelphia Progressive Rock Concert Update features new music from legendary Dutch progressive rock band Focus as they make their way through the region this coming week and then arriving at the Tropicana Casino here in Atlantic City, New Jersey on July 12th! We'll feature music from their most recent album from the Spirit Of Unicorn label that was voted the #39 album in The GlobalProgressive Rock Network's Top 100 Of 2024. We'll also celebrate the 25th anniversary of an album I still look at as one of my favorite albums of all time in the Texas based project The Underground Railroad and their year 2000 release and debut titled Through And Through. This album would later finish in the #2 spot in voting in the The GlobalProgressive Rock Network's Top 100 Of 2000 and a very special release that is a true desert island disc for yours truly. 

The gagliarchives 30th AnniversaryWe go into the vaults this week and travel back to 2005 in our 4th SET to feature the second part of Program 905 when then Boston based band Fluttr Effect played live on our studios following the performance of Marillion in our first hour. Fluttr Effect was on the cusp of releasing their full length album Marking Time just after the name change from their original name Fluttr. The in-studio performance featured Kara Trott on vocals, Troy Kidwell on guitar, Valerie Thompson on Cello, J. Marchionna on drums, and Vessella Stoyanova on Marimba. 

We'll also track music from French band Nil and their 2005 release Nil Novo Sub Sole that was later that year one of the top charting albums of the year, along with a flashback to when both Patrick Moraz & Bill Bruford performed live at the Laforet Museum in Tokyo, Japan on July 4th, 1985 that was bonus material from the 1985 & reissued in 2004 Moraz/Bruford release titled Music For Piano And Drums release. We'll kick off the program with the 50th anniversary from Gentle Giant in the 1975 U.S. release of Free Hand.

Our number one album for now the fifth straight week in the WEEKLYTOP20 this week in Japanese fusion band holding the top spot in the amazing Nankai Trio and their debut release on the A=Tonal label titled Antarctica.Rufus
