This is the two CD edition of Steve Hackett’s Out of the Tunnel’s Mouth.

What can be said about Steve Hackett that hasn't already been said?

With a career spanning some 40 years, Steve Hackett has continued to blaze a trail across the prog firmament of which most other musicians can only dream.

Featuring a guest list that includes Jon Anderson, this is a great piece of modern progressive rock with plenty of nods to the old school variety.

Beto Hale lives in Mexico. It should be no surprise then, that some of the songs here are in Spanish.

If you've never experienced Hammers of Misfortune before, 17th Street is the perfect opportunity to discover why this California band is considered one of America's hidden music treasures.

Best known as the drummer for Porcupine Tree, Gavin Harrison has produced a strong disc here.

This is a unique album. In many ways it doesn’t really feel like a Hawkwind album. 

Hawkwind’s debut album is really much different from the rest of their catalog. For one thing it’s more psychedelic and much of it shares a lot of ground with Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd. 

Given the subtitle on this, you’d expect it to be a chronological compilation with detailed liner notes. Well, if you want that you need to get Epoch Eclipse. 

This is kind of a cool set. While Hawkwind fans might well have these songs on various albums they already own, they will probably find a few things here they don’t have – at least not these exact versions. 

I know a lot of people aren’t crazy about this disc. For my money it’s well worth having. 

Hawkwind had done a live album not that many years earlier with Palace Springs, so this seemed a little soon to put out one. 

This is a strong Hawkwind disc, but it has a few problems with consistency.

This album was originally released as the third disc of the 1999 Party set. 

This compilation is really only so important. On the one hand, were it not for “It’s So Easy,” every track on the set would have been released on album previously. 

This Hawkwind disc has a bit of a different sound than some of their other albums had.

Those looking for an introduction to the Huw Lloyd Langton period of Hawkwind in the first part of the 1980s might find this a perfect first purchase.

The latest Hawkwind release is a double disc set.

I guess this was released under “Hawkwind Light Orchestra” rather than “Hawkwind” because the lineup isn’t precisely the same as Hawkwind these days.

David Hayes is a musician from Chicago and this is his debut disc.

This second disc from Hayes is great.

In a lot of ways, decoding this album is as simple as decoding the three letters of the name and album title.

This is a review of the Japanese import version of Heaven & Earth which features a lot of musicians that Stuart Smith assembled for this great band.

Heaven & Earth are finally back with a solid line-up and a great follow up to their last release.

Featuring a couple members of Djam Karet, one might expect this disc to sound like that outfit.

Mike Henderson and Chuck Oken are both members of Djam Karet, so one might expect this to sound like that band.

This mostly instrumental album is released on Djam Karet’s new label. In fact, Gayle Ellett from Djam Karet guests on the disc, along with quite a few more notable names.

This latest disc from Herd of Instinct is diverse and strong.

Perhaps this disc isn’t the best fit for progressive rock.

The disc I received has some interesting packaging.

The track is a pulsing swirl of ambient sound.

I'm rather new to the music of G. W. (aka Gary) Hill, so when it came down to reviewing his work I was a bit reluctant because of a lack of knowing what the concepts of the content are all about, and just how to grasp and embrace them without that element going into it.

In the late 80’s and early 90’s I worked as a DJ at a small radio station.

Here’s an intriguing disc of instrumental music.

You know, I always tend to lump fusion into progressive rock. Why?

Originally released in 1993, this is getting a reissue here.

Originally released in 1996, I’m putting this under progressive rock because Holdsworth has been in prog bands (most notably UK) and because we often land fusion under that heading.

A live album, this is some killer fusion. Since fusion includes both jazz and rock and since Allan Holdsworth has been in several prog outfits, I consider this progressive rock.

The Hyperion Circle is not really a band, but actually one guy, Orlando Blanco. He’s created a CD here that’s very heavy on the keyboards.
