    Similar to most prog rock fans discovering a new band, I wish I would have found this podcast sooner... I look forward to new material, but will be working backward in the meantime

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pete Trewavas, Eric Blackwood and Rich Armstrong on the new Edison's Children album
Q: So how was the songwriting process for this?
The process began with Pete's guitar ideas and a rough frame, then layered on synthesizers, ambient textures, and collaborative input from Rick and Eric to weave the material into a unified suite. The team emphasized keeping the narrative in sync with musical motifs as they developed, often revisiting earlier songs and reworking sections to fit the evolving story.
Yes singer Jon Davison on the band's latest album 'Aurora'
Q: What was the starting point for the writing on Aurora?
The process began with a turnaround approach, using material developed late in the Mirror to the Sky era and then pushing forward to form new material for the Aurora project.
Yes singer Jon Davison on the band's latest album 'Aurora'
Q: What is the songwriting process for the band in its current state?
We throw everything at it and refuse to follow rigid rules, allowing the music to lead us and break our own traditional boundaries to explore new paths.
Crown Lands members Cody and Kevin talk about their new album 'Apocalypse', opening for Kiss & more.
Q: When starting the writing for the new album, are you writing the story first or developing it as you go?
They explain that Apocalypse began with musical ideas and a broad storyline, then evolved as they layered sections and harmonies, with the narrative becoming more defined after the instrumental framework was in place.
Celebrating the 50th anniversary years of Rush's 2112
Q: How did the book come together around the time of Rush's reunion tour?
The author explains there was no initial plan for a reunion or tour, and the timing ended up aligning fortuitously with new Rush activity, which made the book feel especially timely.
