I will be out next week, so here’s an archive that will last for two weeks!

Interviews with Oscar and Sepand from Days Between Stations, and David from Imogene / Fuzz Beloved. Some great insights by both bands, and well worth hearing! Also, new music from John Wesley “Thanksgiving Day.” Check http://www.john-wesley.com/Downloads.html to find out how you can support John Wesley - he is offering free downloads of his work! This show also featured the Japanese Nil Recurring bonus track, sorry no poster included with this podcast. Check out the Knight Area Different Man 1 & 2 mix done by listener Mark G - very cool! Two new demos by Jai are well worth checking out too.

New albums featured this week are: Coheed and Cambria “No World for Tomorrow,” Pagan’s Mind “God’s Equation,” Avenged Sevenfold with an eponymous 4th release, Katagory V “Hymns of Dissention,” and Thrice “The Alchemy Index Vols 1 & 2 - Fire & Water.”

Where to start? An excellent new band from Poland called Retrospective, new RPWL (live tracks and some Yogi Lang solo tracks) off their limited edition “9″ of which some copies are still available on their website (www.rpwl.de). SAGA just released their 18th Studio album “10,000 Days″ and it gloriously caps their 30 year run with Michael Sadler on vocals. Jai shared a new demo with us and it’s well worth checking out. Prog from Slovenia? Yes, it’s true - check out Moonlight Sky for proof!

Towards the end of the show is the most surreal progressive rock you will ever hear by Finland’s Kuha., it necessitated a special intro and live real-time translation in chat by Finnish listener Robin Llauren. Thanks Robin!

One last piece of business, I haven′t managed to find any prog from Kazakhstan, so if anybody knows some, please let me know!
