Tonight’s listening…
My favourite soul releases from the past 4 years (first 3 all debut albums). All excellent but Jalen Ngonda’s in particular is well worth searching out if Motown is/was once your thing.
Apologies to prog rockers … remember, I am only ‘primarily’ prog 😀

My personal Top 10 live albums of 2025.
A good year with Jon Anderson sounding as youthful as ever after well over five decades of performing and Mike Portnoy returning to live touring with Dream Theater after an absence of 13 years.

A Neal Morse afternoon …
Was listening to an interview for the new NMB album and how the band came together in the studio with nothing written.
Neal was up at 3am every day, wrote a song from scratch which the band then rehearsed and recorded later that day.
Amazing fellow.
