Steven Wilson: Home Invasion: In Concert at the Royal Albert Hall
by Glenn Astarita
One component of progressive rock composer/vocalist/guitarist/ Steve Wilson's widespread appeal pertains to his rather boyish charm and heartfelt vocal delivery. A strong composer and supreme melody-maker, the artist seduces the audience with the notions of living and breathing the experiences and implications of a song's lyrics. And he helped pave the way for post progressive rock ...

Delta Saxophone Quartet: Bowie, Berlin & Beyond
by Glenn Astarita
This first-rate UK-based saxophone quartet has been in existence since 1984, and it is celebrated for its thought-provoking reimagining of well-known works from progressive rock icons such as King Crimson on Crimson!

John Lennon's Imagine: The Ultimate Collection & Imagine/Gimme Some Truth Films
