The latest Classic Rock Magazine has a free CD called "Prog spawn (brain melting new prog from both sides of the pond)".
About half the bands on it are listed on this site including Mystery, The Pineapple Thief, Mostly Autumn and No Man, so their definition of prog may be a bit imaginative.
The magazine has articles on Rush (again!) and Uriah Heep among others.

Their prog definition may be a bit imaginative because of the (roughly) half of the bands we have on the site that are included on the CD, or because of the other half that are not on the site?  I wonder how many not on the site were proposed and rejected, how many were never proposed, and how many were proposed but escaped evaluation and how many were accepted but just just haven't been added yet? I found the track list for Prog Spawn. It sounds like a horror movie: Behold the horror of Geddy Lee and Steve Howe's love-child! Sorry, couldn't resist. Travel To The Night - Mystery Summer's Lease - Big Big Train Tightly Wound - The Pineapple Thief Web - Odin Dragonfly True North - No-Man Apocalypstick - Panic Room Tearing At The Faerytale - Mostly Autumn Shadow - Touchstone Meadowland - The Treat Don't Turn A Blind Eye - Breathing Space Lost In Play - Manning Too Late... - Credo Hmm... sort of proggy music intended particularly for non-proggers, methinks (not for those into more experimental progressive music but more for mainstreamish listeners).
Their prog definition may be be imaginative, but their article topics aren't  (Rush.. again... to be expected in a classic rock magazine). |

I think if they put the next free prog rock CD with the Mail on Sunday that would be great.
Prog for the masses!

Heather Findlay for FHM? I guess you have to wait for that a little longer (after her baby has been born)
CRM must be very good friends with the members of Mostly Autumn, as they include Mostly Autumn AND Odin Dragonfly AND Breathing Space AND Panic Room on the CD!

What is the credo of the underpublicized?
"There's no such thing as bad publicity"

Never heard of any of those artists. Could be worth a listen. I enjoyed the prog stuff on the free CD from Mojo mag recently, and the Syd Barrett influence era CD from Uncut was great. -------------

It seems like they do a Prog special every summer. I'll look out for that one in the shops. Thanks. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/BobGreece/?chartstyle=basicrt10">
