Prog 162
This issue we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Kate Bush’s fifth studio record, Hounds Of Love. An almost perfect blend of progressive pop and progressive rock, the hugely successful singles on one side are counterpointed by the wonderful The Ninth Wave suite on the other. We tell the story of the album that made Kate a global phenomenon and look at the impact it had on musicians of today, while photographer Guido Harari draws back the curtain on the promotional photos he took of Kate at the time.
We pay tribute to Strawbs founder Dave Cousins, who sadly passed away last month, and we also look at how Mike Oldfield followed up the massive success of Tubular Bells with Hergest Ridge, which has a new anniversary reissue out. We also speak to Peter Giles about his time in King Crimson and more, discuss Steve Rothery and Thorsten Quaeschning’s new project Bioscope, and explore the new Canterbury sound being made by younger bands inspired by their 60s and 70s heroes.
As well as that, Nad Sylvan, Hats Off Gentlemen It’s Adequate, Gösta Berlings Saga, Auri, Nosound and Magic Pie bring us up to speed with their new releases, and there’s a Kate Bush art print and a great free sampler from UK prog rockers Jump, celebrating 35 years of making music
