Seasons Of Change: Prog Radio, Adelaide, Australia

Meltdowner wrote: A Floyd special? I better wake up early tomorrow

Your first challenge for the day! I'll try to make it worth your while. Listening to Syd singing "Dark globe" I thought he sounded like Roger Waters singing circa The Wall - or maybe that's just me.

Meltdowner wrote: Really like the new album, by the way.

Me too - I haven't picked the specific music for tonight yet though... we'll see what happens.

Meltdowner wrote: Also I really liked to listen to King Crimson (even if it was from my least favourite album) and Anglagard last week.

Thanks MD! KC are like that I think - inevitable for one thing considering the "phases" the band went through...

Meltdowner wrote: The cheesy hour was awesome! I really liked those symphonic Floyd songs. Did they play 'Atom Heart Mother'? By the way, my first contact with their music was in an Australian Pink Floyd concert near me (probably the only local progressive concert ever ) and I saw they are from Adelaide as well.

Thanks MD - I'm glad you enjoyed it. The cheesy hour was fun to put together too, I'm sure there are quite a few other pieces I could have picked instead, prog is well endowed with all those "cheesy moments" we know and love. Rhapsody are of course so "cheesy" it seems unfair to pick them.

I don't know whether the Atom Heart Mother suite was performed in the actual ASO concerts but it's not on the CD set - suspect it wasn't performed as the choral content of AHM would have been a logistical challenge. Of the "ASO Plays Pink Floyd" CD set, CD1 is essentially an orchestral overture plus most of DSOTM, while CD2 is a grab bag of Floyd eras - a suite of Barret songs, Shine on, selections from Momentary Lapse and of course Another Brick Pt.2. AHM suite is actually one of my Floyd favourites, along with Echoes and Shine on.

Yes, the Australian Pink Floyd Show have done well for themselves!

G'day, if you're not off to see the Rolling Stones in Adelaide tonight, you can put your feet up and relax from a day at the Cheesefest in the Adelaide Parklands with another diverse, occasionally cheesy, edition of Seasons of Change this Saturday night (Australian time). It includes recent music from Brisbane band Caligula's Horse, a selection from the 2006 concept album by local group Gavin O’Loghlen & Cotter’s Bequest ("A Celtic history of South Australia") and the ASO playing Pink Floyd also from 2006. And it's happy birthday to singer Jon Anderson (Yes),  French jazz pianist Jacques Loussier and the multi-talented Gil Matthews (drummer with Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs, as well as house engineer/producer for Havoc Records; and more recently the guru behind the remastering and reissue of some classic Australian music from the 1970's).

I will probably listen to that one more often than any Deep Purple album I really liked to listen to Le Orme and Hibernal two weeks ago, outstanding music That song from Sebastian Hardie that was played last week is also quite good, I'll have to investigate his music. I missed today's first hour due to time zone changes, and the playlist seemed really good. It used to start at 11:30 and now at 10:30 and it will start at 9:30 next month.

Thanks so much! Yes, "daylight saving" started here in Adelaide last Sunday, so all our clocks went forward 1 hour. I know what you mean - I believe the clocks in the "northern" hemisphere will be moving back 1 hour when daylight saving finishes there...

Yes, Sebastian Hardie is a rare band on the Australian scene, the only band I know of that did that "European" style of prog rock back in the '70's so close in style to Yes, Focus, etc.

20+ minutes of the first hour tonight was The Orb featuring Dave Gilmour anyway so tha't's easy to catch up with!
