Ultravox
They were the synthpop pioneers who worked with krautrock producer extraordinaire Conny Plank, had a massive hit with a catchy little tune called Vienna, and their singer Midge Ure almost ended up producing Rush. They might mean nothing to you, but we have to ask: How prog are Ultravox? Words: Chris Roberts
YOUR SHOUT!
They danced with tears in their eyes and reaped the wild wind but how prog were Ultravox? It’s over to you!

Jon Anderson
Eye Of The Survivor
Jon Anderson isn’t the only person who wishes 2020 had panned out a little differently, so he’s cranked up the time machine and jumped back to 1980 with the reissue of his second solo album. Released after his initial departure from Yes, Song Of Seven was the second step in a long and successful solo career that’s seen the singer-songwriter collaborating with Vangelis, Mike Oldfield and his old Yes bandmate, Rick Wakeman. Prog catches up with Anderson to revisit the making of Song Of Seven and found out how he survived one of prog’s most challenging decades
MOORGLADE RISING
Anderson’s first solo record, Olias Of Sunhillow, is to get the star treatment… and could its long-awaited sequel finally see light of day?

One Last Dance?
Ulver have been making strange music that defies categorisation since 1993. In this annus horribilis and three years after their synthpop influenced The Assassination Of Julius Caesar, Kristoffer Rygg’s experimental collective have returned with an album that explore fears and mankind’s fall from redemption. But could Flowers Of Evil be their swansong? Prog catches up with Rygg to find out

PROG CRITICS’ CHOICE 2020
So here we are once more! It’s that time of year to take stock and make the call for what’s progged our world. 2020 might not be a year many of us want to remember for obvious reasons, but the music still continued, and for that I think we’re all extremely thankful.
