The Atlantic is not even there anymore for global prog.

Talking bout progjazz: Kazumi Watanabe (japanese guitarist) did lots of marvellous progjazz albums, also with Bill Bruford & Jeff Berlin ("Spice of Life" & "Spice of Life too"). Check song no. 4 on the album "Mobo Club", it's pure King Crimson

[Rick and Roll]

And Peter Vettesse is on the second one...

[musics]

Right, as well as many others on all his albums, like Wayne Shorter, Kenny Kirkland, Larry Coryell, Mike Mainieri, Marcus Miller, Peter Erskine, and of course my Geneva keyboard buddy Patrick Moraz. Not to forget his band "Resonance Vox", a powerful, fresh and "unusual" formation

Gosh, nice to hear "Triumvirat" again, I saw the guys live in Hanburg, kinda 300 years ago. Check their album "Pompeii", a real masterwork (with weird Curt Cress on drums). Example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzMmz8T0SSA

Don't be alarmed! I cued the prior week's voiceover. This show will not be Xmas music lol!

Concerning Robert Plant: check his solo album "Shaken 'N' Stirred" (drums Richie Hayward, keyboards Jezz Woodroffe etc.), it's quite proggy and outrageously "strange".

Isao Tomita, THE synthesizer god (there's no better one...!) did great albums. Best of the best is "The Planets" (Gustav Holst's masterwork) - check these sounds, moods, atmospheres, mixings etc.

Nice hearing Kansas, but I miss "Magnum Opus", the most progressive masterwork of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dumOc5V_PcE, and "The Spider", a nice little proggy instrumental keyboard tune by Steve Walsh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVCNIWdJz_k

Brand X and Progrock? Check this tune, written by Morris Pert (R.I.P.), on the probably most unknown album "Masques", with fantastic Peter Robinson on keyboards (Quatermass & Phil Collins): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqHFxCURWH8

[Rick and Roll]

Interesting that you referenced Phil Collins when you mentioned Peter Robinson, since Masques is the only early studio Brand X without Phil playing drums. Deadly Nightshade has maybe my favorite guitar lead in it. I thought Masques was as known as the others.

Two songs: Overture and Innocent from the album "Chi Might" (pronounced she might) by Sina, an incredibly talented young drummer from Germany. Sina plays many different kinds of rock but those two songs are some of the best prog I've heard in a long time. I have the 48/24 FLAC download of the album if you can use it.

Sina has many cover videos on YouTube and plays for the band Gäs, which sounds like metal to me and is hopefully just a small part of a long and hugely successful career.

Max Webster did fantastic prog stuff - check "Sun Voices" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpNV5Jx1Mns, and "Moon Voices" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNOuTyKhqx4

Spectrum is a great way to start off a Sunday morning...or any other time in the world.
