Episode 138: Sound Chaser 306

The Sound Chaser Progressive Rock Podcast is on the air. The show this time is all about the many languages of Prog. Most progressive rock is sung in English, for reasons you probably already know well. However, a fair amount is sung in other languages. Because of that, quite a bit of progressive music does not get the attention it perhaps deserves. So, I am rectifying this just a little by featuring songs in a variety of languages. It’s an international tour on Sound Chaser. I have In Memoriam features for musicians recently gone: Mark Volman, Rick Davies, and Nicky Ryan. The show features music from Magma, Yuka & Chronoship, Kraan, Ange, Tusmørke, Yesterdays, and many others. It's all here on Sound Chaser.
