Fairy Tales and Folklore

Here we are, finally back on track. Our newest episode of Soundscape features a great many prog-rock fairy tales. There were so many to choose from, and likely we did not even play most of the expected songs, or even come close to exhausting the theme. This means that part 2 will probably happen at some point. Nevertheless, we think you will enjoy the collection we have made for you here.
