Inaugural (or In-aural) show 9/26/04

For the first show, I will be playing a cross-section of the themes for the show. The themes are again:

1 New music added to the Moon
2 Tweeners
3 Classics
4 Artist highlights
5 Specials
6 Heavy!
7 Requests
8 Fusion/jazz
9 Full-length CD's
10 All other (stuff I want to play)

Most likely, there will be no voice for this show, so I've added comments below. Listing is by artist, title, CD.

1) Echolyn
Meaning and the Moment
Echolyn

This will be the first artist spotlight, in a few weeks.

2) Happy Rhodes
Collective Heart
Building The Colossus

A favorite of mine..she sings ALL of the vocal parts.

3) Minimum Vital
Sarabande n0i and n0ii
Sarabandes

Had to get some Euro prog in here somewhere. Great stuff.

4) Sylvan
Given-Used-Forgotten
X-Rayed

Exciting Neo band...will be at Rosfest 2005 (order now!)

5) Jack Foster III
Feel It When I Sting
Evolution of Jazzraptor

Thought I'd put this in as a "request".

6) Dada
Ask The Dust
American Highway Flower

A true "tweener"!

7) Joe Jackson
Forty Years
Big World

Something to mellow to...lyrics make you think.

8) National Health Clocks & Clouds Missing Pieces

Actually only heard this song last month...what a tune.

9) Frank Gambale
The Great Explorers
The Great Explorers

One of the finest fusion CD's I have heard.

10) Discipline
Mickey Mouse Man
Progday '98

The boys rock out on a song not on their studio CD's, after a full set in 100 degree heat (and believe me it was HOT!).

11) Iron Maiden
Seventh Son of A Seventh Son
Seventh Son of A Seventh Son

This is what you should expect from the heavy shows. All of the trappings of prog - long tune, distinct sections, amazing musicianship, power ending. But not recognized as such. This song truly kicks serious ass.

12) Jethro Tull
Scenario/Audition/No Rehearsal
Nightcap

Off the "Chateau D'Isaster" tapes of the Passion Play recordings, this stands up (pardon the pun!) to any Tull. Similar to the versions (if not identical) to the 20th anniversary CD version.

13) Kenso
Alfama
Yume No Oka

A new addition to the Moon, and a Nearfest 2005 band. Looking forward to hearing this one. Thanks to Jim!

14) It Bites
Old Man And The Angel

Most of the It Bites is new to the Moon, but an old favorite. A tip of the glass to Keith for this one!

15) Bon (Lozaga)
So Far Away
Full Circle (Coming Home)

This song is smooth as a baby's bottom.

16) Deep Purple
Rat Bat Blue
Who Do You Think We Are

My tip of the cap to a "classic" band. Look for shows of this stuff only. Jon Lord goes to town here.

17) Flower Kings
Serious Dreamers
Rainmaker

A peaceful protest to the recent angst caused by you know who. Speaking of keyboardists, Mr. Bodin shines in this one.

and

FM
Black Noise

1) Phasors on Stun
2) One O'Clock Tomorrow
3) Hours
4) Journey
5) Dialing For Dharma
6) Slaughter In Robot Village
7) Aldeberan
8) Black Noise

Mixing prog, pop, and ambient elements, this CD is still one of my favorites.

Comments are always welcome....I hope you all can listen. Tell the neighbors, friends, casual acquant... even enemies...... if they can play "Let's Dance" to drive the Panamanian dictator out, you can play this too!

I'm glad for the Monday morning replay. As you'll be competing with Sunday night NFL action on ESPN in my timezone, I'll have to catch it Monday morning while I'm at work.

That will be good for thinking-up comments about your show. We all know how objective we can be first thing on Monday morning.

Sorry I'm going to miss this

I would prefer that the repeat on Monday is later as I'm at work and tomorrow I will be "out of office" at that time so I'll miss it This will be same for a few Europeans. Best repeat it say 12pm EDT.

Sorry Rick

Sorry Rick
but I'm sure over time there will be a time that will be the best...Jim is the man on that call and whatever it is for the replay is fine with me....I'm sure it will work out for most.

Make sure you do QJ et al. It was a brilliant show. Nice one Rickster. Keep that pace going and you're on to a REAL winner.
