Thank you so much, James Dougherty “JD” for featuring the Circuline during three of your “Closer to the Edge” radio shows in the month of July, promoting our new album “C.O.R.E”! July 4th show – “Transmission Error” July 11th show – “Blindside” July 18th show – “Temporal Thing”
JD’s “Prog Variety Show” plays the finest classic and modern Progressive Rock and related music from around the world! Progressive Rock (now called Prog to encompass the many sub-genres) evolved in the late 60’s/early 70’s from Psychedelic music to elevate rock to new levels of artistry. Prog bands, then and now, push rock’s technical and composition boundaries by going beyond the standard rock or popular verse-chorus song based structures. Also, the arrangements often incorporate elements drawn from classical, jazz and world music. Long, multi-dimensional pieces are more common while songs with lyrics are sometimes conceptual, abstract, or based in fantasy. Musically, unusual time signatures are frequent as is orchestration and many ‘movements’ within one song. Prog bands sometimes use “concept albums” to tell an epic story or tackle a grand overarching theme. Progressive Rock sub-genres include Jazz Rock/Fusion, Krautrock, Neo-Prog, Prog Folk, Progressive Electronic, Progressive Metal, Psychedelic/Space Rock and many others, plus Proto-Prog.
Earlier this year, Patrick Alexander played some Circuline music on his “Pat’s Picks Progressive Rock Hour” radio show, which also featured King Crimson and Tony Banks. Last night, Patrick played some more Circuline music on his show, which also featured Yes and Mike Oldfield.
