So here’s to all you Pink Floyd fans that never got in to the whole bootleg collecting thing over the years! A pretty definitive box set to say the least. Yes even I was drooling a bit when I first heard about it and was gathering the intel on it. Being one of those obsessed…

Hey all, well I have this wee post about what I’m doing musically then it’s back to basics and doing reviews for you! Got caught up with all the recording and playing live etc which I will share with you now! Very chuffed with how things have turned out so far! So, for want…
OddsFiche Debut to Few But It Was a Grand Performance!
Hey All ! So my debut performance as OddsFiche at the Open Studio Art Cafe in Pickering, Ontario went over quite well ! Played to a small group of people, family and friends with a better than I though reception because well…. I wasn’t sure how my music would have gone over! There’s a few…
Künstler Scheiße….. Could It Be Any More? Yes, Yes It Could with Alex’s Hand
Album artwork often speaks volumes to the future and potential listener and this one is a perfect example of, “You MUST listen to this record!” Why? Just look at it! It’s so funky it smells of pure Zappa-esque cartooning meets Fritz the Cat animation style with a distant but subtle touch to hardcore English band…
Voor al Mijn Vrienden in Nederland bied ik u de Pink Floyd
Since we have been blessed with all of these great bands from the Netherlands I thought I would say thank you to them with this show review by one of my all time favourite bands, The Pink Floyd. So this is for my Dutch Family; Iris (Ier!), Frank, Eric, Peter and the other members of…
The REAL Slow Hand, Mr. David Gilmour & Co. Plays Toronto’s Air Canada Centre March 31st 2016
With a little stroke of luck from one of the sales reps at my mom’s work I was able to score seats at what was probably 20,000 people packing Toronto’s Air Canada Centre tonight. It’s amazing that David Gilmour could even hear himself play let alone sing over the the thousands of voices who sang…
Ladies and Gentlemen… Emerson, Lake & Palmer (live at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970)
Over the top? Pompous? Blatantly Full of themselves? Perhaps eventually but in 1970 they were hardcore Prog and damn good at it! I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with ELP because on one end you have the calm ballads of Greg Lake then the other hand is the firey madness of Keith Emerson’s keyboards and…
Steven Wilson, Toronto Spectacular @ Massey Hall March 1st 2016
Steven Wilson…Nothing short of AMAZING last night at Toronto’s Massey Hall with but one slight discouragement, the curfew on Toronto concerts at 11pm. GRRRR!!!! Yep it’s been I don’t know how many years since the city evoked such a ridiculous rule but it truncated Steven Wilson’s second set ever so slightly. That said, it was…
Tangerine Dream has Thermal Inversion to Your Kiew Mission at Newcastle’s City Hall in ’81
“Tangerine Dream“, the name is synonymous with space itself and generally the first name one thinks of when electronic music is mentioned aside from Kraftwerk. Formed in Berlin in 1967 at the height of the psychedelic movement by Edgar Froese(whom we lost in 2015) along with Chris Franke and Peter Baumann became “The Ones” two…
Mauerspechte mit Das Pink Floyd (’71 Live Show Review)
June 5th 1971, where were you? I wasn’t born yet for a couple of years and if you were around you may have not been at West Germany’s Berliner Sportpalast when The Pink Floyd to the stage that night. It was the first rock concert to be held there using Quadraphonic sound and The Floyd…
Serpents in Camouflage?, Quick! Call Citizen Cain to the Rescue!
One thing I really love about Prog rock besides the obvious, the music, is the album covers. The bright and imaginative designs always make listening to the record such a bigger and more exciting experience. A lot of people claim that the 70’s Prog albums had the best covers, well, here’s one from the 90’s!…
A Canadian Moment with Rush; Prog Dabblers to Mainstream Rock Migration
Canada’s greatest Prog Rock export from the seventies and probably the biggest well known Canadian rock band name going, not including that kid from Stratford who shall not be mentioned in this blog due to the overwhelming embarrassment he’s brought to himself AND this country. So yes I am talking about Rush, three guys from…
