In our SECOND SET, we'll track the recently released live concert from German band Kraan that took place about 45 years ago this time at Club Aladin in Bremen, Germany appropriately titled The Aladin Tapes from the Bassball Records label that is just outside our WEEKLYTOP20 this week. We'll track an excellent new disc from the Rise Above Relics label that debuts at number six this week in the WEEKLYTOP20 for the week of 4/25/25 from musician and keyboardist Julian Jay Savarin titled Beyond The Outer Mirr. It was also 55 years ago this time the timeless 1970 album came out titled A Time Before This and the amazing 1971 follow up titled Waiters On The Dance. This new offering does NOT disappoint and will close out our SECOND SET. 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 a new live recording from fuzzed-out psychedelic
Danish band Causa Sui and their new concert recording from the iconic
Copenhagen venue Loppen titled Loppen 2024 from the El Paraiso Records
label. This blistering set and their stage 'home' so to speak for the
better part of 20 years where their intensity performing is uninterrupted.
The six song set features improv highli We have two excellent treats for you in our 4th Set Space Out as we feature a concert that took place two weeks ago in Kobenhavn, Denmark on April 12th as the Oresund Space Collective would bring the house down that night with a scorching and high energy hour and a half set at their beloved Stengade Theater. Oresund Space Collective are coming off a 2024 that saw the release of their Laser's Edge Group records release Orgone Unicorn which while we haven't aired The GlobalProgressive Rock Network Top 100 Of 2024 yet, this was a top twenty voted double record that also went on to spend five consecutive weeks in the number one spot in the WEEKLYTOP20. Don't miss this concert in our 4th Set Space Out! Also in our 4th Set Space Out we'll premiere new music from legendary space rockers Hawkwind and their 2025 Cherry Red Records release titled There Is No Space For Us that debuted at number twelve as well in this week's WEEKLYTOP20! Our
Fifth and final set sees us dig into the archives to ten years ago this
week when we were joined by long time guest and great all around friend
over the years to our program in the great Nicklas Barker, guitarist and
composer of the iconic Swedish progressive rock band, Anekdoten. Nicklas
joined us on Program
1418 to talk about their then chart topping new release that fans
waited 8 years for titled Until All The Ghosts Are Gone, an album
production and creation the members loved as they could take their time,
which as we all know would later be voted by our audience as the number
one album in The
GlobalProgressive Rock Network's Top
100 Of 2015.
This would mark the second time that the band would have a GPRN Hall Of
Fame album following our audience voting them number one in The
GlobalProgressive Rock Network's Top
100 Of 1996
with their late 1995 release titled Nucleus. Anekdoten is beloved band on
our program and of course by you our audience. They have been a brick to
the foundation to the gagliarchives since the mid 1990's. Also this week we'll celebrate the 40th anniversary of the 1985 release from Ozric Tentacles titled Tantric Obstacles from the Dovetail Records label along with the 50th anniversary of the Spanish band Triana and their 1975 release El Patio from the Movieplay Records label as we dig into the vaults with this acclaimed record. We'll also track releases from ten years ago this time that were quite the buzz in the 2015 release from Canadian progressive rock band FM and their release on the Cherry Red Records label titled Transformation that would later be voted later that year as the number sixty album overall out of some 3,700 related releases that year in the The GlobalProgressive Rock Network's Top 100 Of 2015 and we'll also track the popular EP that came out that year that is very popular to our program in general in what was Steve Hackett's Spectral Mornings release that featured different versions of the beloved track that has been closing our radio program since the late nineties by request in our FIRST SET. We'll close out with new music from what is number one for the seventh consecutive week in the WEEKLYTOP20 as we mentioned in what is now his eighth solo release overall from the Fiction Records label titled The Overview. This new release is a concept album about the Overview Effect. This is described as a cognitive shift caused by viewing the Earth from space. This concept was utilized as a starting point for the sound of the record, which was described by Wilson as being similar to acts such as Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, and Vangelis in "a modern context". Wilson has stated that the album is going to be considerably more progressive rock influenced than much of his recent work, stating that he felt the concept geared itself well to the genre. You
