This video finished my review of Ozzy Osbourne's 2nd solo album, Diary of a Madman. Both of my episodes on this album were blocked on YouTube. So, I wanted to make it available here on Patreon.
Enjoy!
2024-03-17 19:36:43 +0000 UTC View PostBoth of my half-album episodes featuring music from Radiohead and their album The Bends has been blocked on YouTube. For ease, I've listed them both here in one post.
I hope you enjoy!
For the next EPL, I'm asking you to pick between five progressive rock albums that are all on the master list. I'm interested in all of these, and I need your help in prioritizing the one to listen to first!
This poll is active through Monday. Happy voting!

It's only 'logical' that we take a look at some iconic Star Trek themes in this series. Today, we're listening to the original series theme, the Next Generation theme, and the theme from the movie reboot from 2009. I hope you enjoy!

It's a little delayed, but I'm glad I waited until I had a good slot of time to dive head-first into this proggy masterpiece. I grooved on every single song in this 1976 album by Kansas. I hope you enjoy!

This was a wild album, y'all! Unbelievable amounts of musical color...great riffs...smart chord changes...I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was like hearing a King Crimson Jazz Fusion album.

I think this is my personal favorite of all the movements from Holst's The Planets. It's buoyant and lively bits are derived from the noble folk hymn theme at the heart of the movement. The compositional construction (as well as the orchestration) are impeccable, and the result is one of the more cherished 8 minutes of orchestral music in the entire repertoire.
Come along for an hour of d...

I enjoyed this album much more than I was anticipating...especially after reading about all of the 'drama' happening behind the scenes with financial and artistic differences in the band as well as a roster change...with Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman departing the band before the album was completed.
This is a fascinating look into the changing musical aesthetics of the band and society a...

As I was looking through the pending EPL list, I came to Yes and realized that we have five full albums in the queue for this band. So, help me pick the one to hear next!

Hi y'all,
I think we really started the year off well with this Fan Favorites episode. All four of these classic tracks were first time listens for me...and I loved them all. Actually, I found a common thread shared among these tracks as I listened. I hope you enjoy!

I'm pleased to present the recording of our second Doug on Demand session, held on Sunday January 28, 2024.
Sadly, Megan and I had a technical snafu with our Zoom accounts, which caused the first 30 minutes or so to be excluded from our recording. I'm sorry that this footage is lost, but there's no way for me to retrieve/recover it.
Mark your calendars...the next Doug on Demand will...

For our first Behind the Score of 2024, we're starting off with a bang with John Adams' Short Ride in a Fast Machine.
This piece for large orchestra is a bit of an anomaly with a duration under five minutes. It's an exciting ride full of rhythmic vitality. I hope you enjoy my deep dive into this piece!

It's our sixtieth episode in this series! Thanks so much for your continued support.
This time, we're listening to Steve Hackett's third solo album, Spectral Mornings. It convincingly won our poll, and I now understand why y'all love it so much. The music is varied and interesting and beautiful and smart and expertly played. It's a fun listen!

For our first EPL of the new year, we're listening to Haken's 2nd album. Visions is another concept album, and I thoroughly enjoyed my listen. This is now my fourth EPL for this band, and I'm realizing that they really don't have a weak album...I really like all their output. Enjoy!
