Let’s Fly 2018

Part of the original idea, the early pictures of the Tardis made of speakers, was that we would travel in time. With prog at least, we have a pretty limited window of time travel. All time periods have an almost exotic nature to them. This seems especially true for 2018. We just very recently lived through that year, but most of what we play here on this episode has not gotten a ton of play. Nevertheless, we have worked with the chat group to deliver a phenomenal swath of 2018 music. This is neither a best of, nor is it a random walk through 2018. Much of what we uncover has not been played on Soundscape. As stated in the episode, there is a ton more to play and we will need to continue the exercise, just in smaller doses. So in the coming episodes, at least until we plum the depths, we will offer some small smattering of 2018 but still seek out new themes to address. Speaking of which, next time around we will get a dose of Greek prog rock in our first Escape Velocity episode of 2020. Here is the setlist if you wish to peek. Happy 2018!
