Just for the record, here is the playlist of last night's all-Australian edition of Seasons of Change - a program which featured some last minute inclusions including a first appearance from the heavy fusion trio Three Wise Monkeys (hailing from the Blue Mountains) whcih is present both here on PA and in the station music collection. I can't see how 3WM is classified here as "Crossover Prog" though, based on what I've heard so far...

David64T wrote: Yes, it's a great track isn't it. While preparing this program I was tossing up between AHM, Shine On and Echoes (my 3 favourite Floyd tracks) - the live version of "Shine On" was on last week's program so much as I love it I ruled that out; then, after I listened through AHM again to help me decide, I felt it deserved a place in the 200th program. Echoes will get airtime at some point in the future too but it's been played lots of times on SoC, AHM just once before now. Out of bed early to tune in?  Thanks, I'm really really impressed!

Unfortunately it doesn't get as much love as Shine On. Congrats on the 200th program

I had some work to do, and the music certainly helped

I was able to listen to Tangerine Dream and Cluster today, great choices

Thanks MD, I'm glad you liked them.

Ticket are an interesting NZ band that had their 1st album re-released a few years ago here in Australia on Aztec Records, I only got around to ordering it in recently (suggesting Aztec are good in keeping a backstock of their releases). The re-issue is a thing of beauty and replete with bonus tracks and really interesting info about the band and their life and times - it's a good listen though maybe not overtly/consistently "proggy" (the heavy guitar-based sound of last night's tracks is pretty typical). The band like so many others is long defunct of course.

Based on their Facebook page, Over Unity seem to be on ice at present which is a shame - the EP suggests they could have come up with some pretty interesting music if the band had kept going.
