My New Blog

Saturday at 16:00 UK Time sees the glorious return of Lazland On Progzilla Radio, a show so fine it is rumoured that Ineos are thinking of jacking in that Manchester United nonsense and partnering here instead. Sir Jim, we would be pleased to take your money!

For your delectation and delight, we have Finisterre, Transatlantic, Overture, Dream Theater, Massimo Pieretti, Ologram, Radiant Moon, Black Sabbath, Genesis, Pink Floyd, The Flower Kings, Moon Halo, Ash Twin Project, Merry Hell, The Blackheart Orchestra.

Two hours of mighty fine music to enrich the soul, and if you are not dancing happily to the final three tracks from the last two artists played, then you are seriously in need of urgent medical assistance.

First new album review of the new week is a wonderful reworking of a fine release, Inner Prospekt and Dreaming Tony Banks 2025.

The podcast of today's Lazland On Progzilla Radio has been uploaded! You can catch it at https://progzilla.com/lazland-on-progzilla-radio-episode-31/

Two hours of "Women In rock" and the chance to win two fantastic prizes. A deluxe earbook of Imaginaerium Official and their stunning Siege. A digital download of Ana Patan and her Frida Kahlo, Viva La Vida, The Music to the Theatre Play.

There are two very easy questions. One, for Siege, "what British tribe was Boudica the Queen of?". Second, For Frida Kahlo, "in which award-winning set of novels was spice the mainstay of the galactic economy?". Simply send your answers to [email protected] by no later than midday UK time Friday 16th May 2025 - the draw will be broadcast on next Saturday's show.

I am hoping to publish a couple more reviews by the end of the week, but if I don't, well, tonight's new music review is of a rock music delight. Magic Pie return with Maestro.

Fulguromatic's album is excellent. A good mix of Canterbury, Zeuhl, and very personal touches. It's brilliant.
