Exactly why we still subscribe - despite its many faults (whole page this month devoted to how Mick Wall got wasted with Dave Lee Roth on women, Jack Daniels & cocaine) they do take prog seriously, have regular articles on the lesser known bands from the classic age & every now & again come up with an issue where I want to read every article (they gave the Pendies new album a big thumbs up too ).

How long a quarterly mag devoted to prog will last is a moot point, but we shall see - and yes, the first issue will contain all the usual suspects... it's the subsequent ones which will prove worthwhile (or otherwise) - still, free CD

Hopefully it will last some time... I know that CR's publisher (Future Publishing) has launched many mags over the years, only to see them bite the dust after a few issues. However, kudos to them for keeping on trying!

Let's hope their research improves. A short piece on Yes' debut album in the current edition credits the guitar work to Steve Howe.

Hey all, I'm The Reasoning's manager and we're in the first issue and on the cover cd so I might be slightly biased  Wink but we're all rather chuffed that Future are trying this out, and with the mighty Jerry Ewing at the helm, who knows?!? At last, proper music gets a decent bit of publicity, and there's a voice for contemporary bands as well, so that can only be a good thing!!! BUY IT!! LOLLOL 

Happy reading everyone!

I think it may be a bit too early for the mag to get to the US, if today was its official release date in the UK. I was at Barnes and Noble today, but of course I didn't see it. Anyway, both Borders and B&N generally stock Classic Rock and its offshoots, so I would wait a bit before ordering it from the publishers.

that wouldn't be because of the interview with and photos of a certain prog singer/guitarist by any chance?

I'm with Tony on this, use it or lose it.
We've bemoaned the lack of mainstream interest for decades, it's here, and it's not been easy, it's ultimately good for everyone, I'm sick of all the sn****ring micro articles in mainstream mags, this is one for us, and that can only be good. 

It's going to grow if there is sufficient interest, ok, I might have some biase, but it's good for everyone, it really is!  I was pretty impressed!

I got my copy yesterday, and have spent much of today (in between spending time with family) reading it.

I am hugely impressed. Thety seem to have struck a great balance between the bands we know and love and attempting to introduce readers who aren't quite as dedicated as users of this forum to lesser known bands. I think they have achieved this very well.

Great writing, fantastic interviews, honest reviews, and lots of modern prog intermingled with the classics. Long may it live.

Hopefully it will get here to the US soon... So far, no luck in finding it, though most Future Publishing mags are widely available in the stores. I suppose we'll just have to be patient for a little while yetSmile!
