I must confess a relief to see Hawklords 'Relativity' get a mention as it's been out a little while now, and I find I prefer them (and their consistency) over the mothership. Yes Brock was on 25 Years on, as was Calvert and a new member Harvey Bainbridge is who the reformed band was formed round, with a current main man Jerry Richards who most certainly was in the mothership
Forgotten Gods sounds like a worthy purchase

Great video as usual and I was that Fan who painted my own cover for the Jon Anderson and band geeks cd so thanks for the shout out it made my daughters day.

Fantastic episode as always, all the best in 2025.

I can't stand that Aphrodite's 666 album. Only thing worse than the album is a box set with even more versions of that crap.

I listened to 5 minutes of Jupiter's fungus and dropped 50 on discogs lol. Merry Christmas to me, and merry Christmas to you music conasours as well!

Old Man Prog it would've been perfect if you'd had copies of This Strange Engine when you asked so you know what's strange? 😂 But Pete's right, Lucy has had to get permission from EMI to press more copies of Clutching at Straws a couple times now so Pete's right on the money with that.

Pooh Sun by Masabumi Kikuchi!!!! What an album! I had to dish a serious amount of money for my copy some years ago… grab it if you can! … actually grab any Masabumi Kukuchi that crosses your path… it's worth it!

Ken. You are the only person I would listen to concerning a band using fungus in its name!

My favorite show. Bravo Mr Golden! Approximately 1/2 of my cd collection is a result of your excellent recommendations and store.

Another thanks to The Professor and Pete – not just for this episode but all the great episodes during this year. Likely exceeded the CD budget just on buys from watching these episodes. Some great listening. Thanks again with Merry Christmas to Pete and Happy Hanukkah to Ken. Much appreciated, gents.
