Introducing PopYes

Written by tim_admin on .

In fact, we actually admit that we FB Image_1aare Pop fans at ProgYes. I don't believe there is a Progger out there who hasn't secretly got copies of at least some pop in their collection. They may say they only listen to King Crimson, but I reckon they've got a copy of some Simon and Garfunkel stashed away somewhere.

So, with this in mind, and to beef up our schedule a bit, we are introducing the daily ‘PopYes’ hour. This will feature some great high quality pop, mainly 70s and 80s, maybe early 90s. Quite often there is a vague Prog connection, often there is no such connection.

We feel this is excellent quality stuff which you’ll like. It’ll give you a break from the 15/8 rhythms, complex chords, key changes and concept albums! Also, every so often, you’ll hear a track from this list throughout the day.

Introducing the Prog New Age

What is the Prog New Age?

open mind blogThis is the first posting of a new blog devoted to ‘Prog New Age’ philosophy.Many aspects of this new philosophy will be discussed. Please join in with these debates.

This philosophy is based on various concepts including music, theology, nature and philosophy. The phrase "New Age" refers to the "Aquarian Age" which many believe is now beginning. The belief is,that we are leaving the age of Pisces (which has lasted over two thousand years) and we are currently shifting into the Aquarian Age.

This is a good time to start considering an alternative to the mainstream propaganda we have been indoctrinated and brainwashed with. We need to start questioning things.
