The band have toured internationally and in 2015 they won the Vanguard category of The Progressive Music Awards. publicservicebroadcasting.net     Robert Moses (December 18, 1888 – July 29, 1981) was an American public official who worked mainly in the New York metropolitan area. Known as the "master builder" of mid-20th century New York City, Long Island, Rockland County, and Westchester County, he is sometimes compared to Baron Haussmann of Second Empire Paris, and was one of the most polarizing figures in the history of urban development in the United States. His decisions favoring highways over public transit helped create the modern suburbs of Long Island and influenced a generation of engineers, architects, and urban planners.   This simultaneously bold and bland building housed the State of Illinois pavilion, featuring Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. The winkin' blinkin' Lincoln was a sensation. A Message From The Manager of Radio Free Disneyland it's a small world (presented by Pepsi Cola for UNICEF) was also staged in a modern building. Rolly Crump's Tower of the Four Winds presaged the the playful look the Disneyland alliteration would take on. Ford Motor Company's Magic Skyway got the "skinniest" relocation to Disneyland after the Fair. Walt Disney had fought Cast requests to build a new administration building at the Park, but gave in when it involved making a home for the Fair's dinosaurs to be seen from the Disneyland Railroad. General Electric's Carousel of Progress had the most successful relocation of all the Fair shows. Playing at Disneyland and then at Walt Disney World. WED Enterprises (Walt Disney Imagineering) brought three lessons learned at Disneyland to the Fair. Capacity, Capacity, and Capacity.

The magazine just reached 100 editions, so we thought it’s high time we asked Jerry to give us a golden hour of his top Kscope tracks, his memories of hearing them for the first time, their post-rock and psychedelic qualities, how they fit into the Universe that he’s created at Prog - and that time we were dancing to Danny Cavanagh’s twelve inchers… On this podcast: Anathema - Thin Air (from We're Here Because We're Here Because We're Here) https://kscopemusic.com/ana   Iamthemorning - Freak Show (from The Bell) https://kscopemusic.com/iatm   Steven Wilson – Routine (from Hand.

Grammy winner Tony Banks is the co-founder and keyboardist of Genesis, which helped define prog rock in the ‘70s with lead singer Peter Gabriel and emerged as a pop powerhouse in the ‘80s after drummer Phil Collins took over the lead vocalist role. Banks and Mike Rutherford were the only two musicians who were members of the band throughout Genesis’ entire history from the late 1960s through the early 2000s. He is a co-writer of Genesis classics, including “The Knife,” “The Musical Box,” “Supper’s Ready,” “Firth of Fifth,” “Follow You Follow Me,” “No Reply at All,” “That’s All,” “Invisible Touch,” “Throwing it All Away,” “Land of Confusion,” “Tonight Tonight Tonight,” “In Too Deep,” “No Son of Mine,” “I Can’t Dance,” and “Hold On My Heart.”     In addition to releasing five solo albums, Banks began scoring films in the late 1970s, including a British horror movie called The Shout, a science fiction film entitled Starship, and Quicksilver, staring Kevin Bacon. It was his work on the Faye Dunaway film The Wicked Lady that first exposed Banks to working with an orchestra, reigniting his long time love for classical music. In 2004 he released Seven: A Suite for Orchestra, which featured the London Philharmonic and marked the start of a series of classical albums. The most recent is simply titled Five.   As a member of Genesis, Banks has sold over 21 million albums in the US alone. He received a Prog God Award at the Progressive Music Awards in 2015, and was named among MusicRadar’s “greatest keyboard players of all time” in 2011. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongside Genesis bandmates Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Steve Hackett, and Mike Rutherford in 2010.

The usual suspects talk about the recent Progressive Music Awards and which winners they agree and disagree with (plus whether or not these events are even worth paying attention to), which vocalists out there don’t get the respect they deserve, and covers of prog songs that are entertaining (or at least interesting).  Within Temptation is in the crosshairs for Prog or Not Prog?, and the gang welcomes Galahad singer Stuart Nicholson to join in the discussions and talk about the band’s new EP: four variations of the Rammstein track “Mein Herz Brennt.

All Aboard! Get ready for a great ride this week as the Squatch and his co-host Steve Luttig bring you music from a fantastic UK band called Big Big Train! Winners of the Breakthrough Award at the 2013 Progressive Music Awards held in Kew Gardens in London (hope they were watching out for Giant Hogweeds!) these guys have been making some big noise in their home country, and are one of the best things the Squatch has unearthed in recent years. Aside from a number of great tunes from the band, there are also some interesting tidbits about Ant Phillips of Genesis fame, and Tom Keating, infamous art restorer and forger! Plus, a digression on the Mellotron! Don't miss it! As always, the Squatch would like to invite listeners to send questions, comments, and suggestions. (Please keep them polite!)
