The Sound Chaser Progressive Rock Podcast is on the air. The show this time is another of the annual birthday gift to myself shows. On these shows, I select some of my favorite pieces of progressive music. On this occasion, I have decided to narrow the range of choices a bit. Because we are now almost a quarter of the way through the 21st century, I thought it would be a good idea to play some of the highlight pieces from the 2000s so far. I have not arranged the pieces in any particular order, but just put together the show in otherwise the usual way. I hope you enjoy these selections as much as I do. Playlist1.
