PROG PRESENTS…

Stalwarts of the UK’s underground prog scene, Galahad have been ploughing their own musical furrow since the 80s, evolving, mutating and absorbing different influences yet still sounding as relevant and fresh as ever on their recent releases.

This digital sampler contains some familiar songs and a few deep cuts, plus various alternative versions and the odd demo, all of which neatly covers almost 40 years of Galahad music, in all its forms. Included here is material from the band’s very first recording from October 1985, all the way up to the most recent, and at times incredibly poignant, 2023 release, The Long Goodbye. Dive in and enjoy.

Q & A
Wind And Wuthering: The Story Of Kate Bush’s The Kick Inside
In March 1978, a young singer-songwriter called Kate Bush shot to the top of the UK singles charts with Wuthering Heights. Based on Emily Brontë’s gothic novel of the same name, it was the centrepiece of Bush’s debut album, The Kick Inside, and introduced her elegant songwriting and explosive baroque pop to the unsuspecting masses. With a little help from some early collaborators and a few famous fans, Prog charts her journey from teenage wonder to one of the most unique and influential artists of the modern age.
Behind The Veil
In 1980, to coincide with the release of Never For Ever, future Prog writer Kris Needs approached a young Kate Bush for an interview. She took some convincing, but eventually agreed to not just one, but three, all of which took place at various intervals during the height of her commercial success. In this personal account, Needs recalls some of the most in-depth discussions that took place during the artist’s formative decade

GUY MANNING The great and good of progressive music give us a glimpse into their prog worlds. As told to Grant Moon.
FEATURES
There Can Be Only One!
Never meet your heroes, or so the saying goes, but Opeth have had a blast working with Ian Anderson on their latest, The Last Will And Testament. Bandleader Mikael Åkerfeldt and guitarist Fredrik Åkesson discuss the band’s proggiest album to date, the return of the growl and why blood isn’t always thicker than water
I mean, what is classical nowadays?
Tony Banks reflects on his role as a 21st-century classical composer.
FAR HORIZONS AND PANORAMIC AMBITIONS
Dutch five-piece Lesoir have been steadily gathering momentum over the last 15 years, and they hope to build on that with their latest release, Push Back The Horizon. Vocalist/ instrumentalist Maartje Meessen and guitarist Ingo Dassen discuss the creation of their sixth album, working with Muse’s production team, and their dream of bringing their intricate music to new audiences.
We’ve Not Been Expecting You
The unpredictable Frost* are back with Life In The Wires, a bold double concept album that revisits the mood of Milliontown. Bandleader Jem Godfrey tells Prog why he rolled out the solos on a record he describes as the most fun since their dazzling debut.
Symphly The Best
In the 70s, Barclay James Harvest almost bankrupted themselves by performing with an orchestra, but, several decades on, they’re celebrating last year’s performance with the Slaithwaite Philharmonic, captured on their latest live record, Philharmonic! The Orchestral Concert. John Lees reminisces over the band’s ambitious early years and bassist Craig Fletcher fills Prog in on JLBJH’s upcoming “progtastic” double album.
Fourth Dimension
The stock of melodic Northumberland-based proggers Stuckfish has been rising since they formed six years ago. Their fourth studio album, Stuckfish IV, represents an important watershed in the band’s musical evolution. Co-founders Adrian Fisher and Phil Stuckey tell Prog about the diverse influences that have helped to shape it.
On The Wing
Birds, break-ups, big choruses and the Charlie Chaplin effect can all be found on In Murmuration, the ninth album from Finland’s Von Hertzen Brothers. But as they embrace their power pop influences, have the Finns cast off their prog wizard cloaks once and for all? Mikko von Hertzen talks about the Seattle influence, songwriting secrets and sax solos.
CONTROLLED AIRSPACE
He’s about to embark on Dream Theater’s 40th Anniversary Tour, but keyboard maestro Jordan Rudess has taken time out to discuss his soaring new solo album, Permission To Fly. He tells Prog about defying expectations, teaming up with his linguist daughter and working with That Joe Payne on the project
A Part & Yet Apart
Sheffield-based 80s proggers Haze have returned with a new studio album, The Water’s Edge – their third since their 2013 comeback record, The Last Battle. Prog catches up with threequarters of the band to discuss Haze’s DIY ethos, the curse of prog and playing to Cumbrian sheep farmers.
PHIL MANZANERA
Every month we get inside the mind of one of the biggest names in music. This issue it’s Phil Manzanera. Best known for his work in Roxy Music, the British-born guitarist’s fascinating life is captured in his recent memoir, Revolución To Roxy. Outside of Roxy, he’s released countless solo albums, created the ‘special occasion’ supergroup 801 and collaborated with his bandmates Andy Mackay and Brian Eno, as well as David Gilmour, John Wetton and Godley & Creme, to name but a few. He discusses his remarkable career so far and the upcoming box set 50 Years Of Music.
