Hornier Than We Were Before

Hello fellow music lovers!..... We are back!! It feels exciting to be broadcasting again. I have missed sharing music and researching great music. There are of course some key differences to our previous iteration of Soundscape. The most obvious is that the show is shorter and will only show up every other week (schedule allowing). This shorter time means we will focus on the theme for the entire show instead of having sections as we did before. What that means in terms of content is that we will not likely have as much new music, but that's ok because there are plenty of outlets for that stuff. You need only to turn your dials to progrock.com to get your new prog fix on with a wonderful array of prog rock radio podcasts. We will of course still incorporate new songs and bands as they impact the theme.

 

This episode is appropriately titled in that the theme this week is horns in prog. There were a few moments that brought the podcast back but the running theme of those moments was based on the use of horns in the music I was listening to. It was somewhat uncertain what the show would look like but I think we got a lot of good stuff in the mix. While we did not get all of the requests, I will make a short list of those available at the bottom so that you guys can check them out as well. Where a song was more well-known or expected, I opted for lesser-known material.
