We respond to the many of you who have asked who created the cover of Time Voyager and how it was made. We chose to use artificial intelligence for the artwork because it perfectly reflects the central themes of our album: space-time journeys that traverse past, future, and modern eras. The use of AI symbolizes our present, an age in which technology is transforming reality, just like the journeys explored in the album.
However it’s important to emphasize that the cover is not merely the product of an algorithm. The initial image was generated with AI, but it was subsequently enriched and modified through our human intervention, personalizing the details while maintaining our artistic vision.

Ken is correct, Kosmodome is great, their second album of psych prog jams, a noticeable improvement in musicianship and groove. Thanks for alerting me to the Needlelpoint, always have time for Norwegian Canterbury Prog, heh.

Kosmodome is excellent and the production is first class. 4.5/5 star.

Fantastic show as always. Greco Bastian's new album is one of my favorite ones this year. Cheers and all the best.

Thanks for putting this show together each every Friday. I have discovered so much since it began.

The new Kosmodome and Needlepoint are both good. Kosmodome is definitely not stoner rock, maybe pysch/prog. Odessa is worth checking out.

Hi, enjoy the info on the new stuff to listen to. If this is off topic, I apologize. I see no mention of the new Frost* album Life in The Wires. Amazing new Prog sir. Thanks for a good channel.

Time Voyager is great, as are all the Barock Project albums 🙂
