For me, seasonal albums don’t get any better than this excellent collaboration with Steve Hackett. Includes the marvellous Run With The Fox.

Some good news with the announcement that the NMB will release their 5th album early in 2026. Their first four have all been top notch IMHO.
No line-up changes so Mike Portnoy remains on drums despite his DT commitments.

Attending the first night at the O2 was a quite unforgettable experience topped off by hearing Octavarium played live, a true prog epic.
The second Dream Theater release in my 2025 top ten.

The latest from Spock’s Beard.
Reviews say it’s a return to form, although I personally didn’t ever notice much of a dip.
Some great playing by keyboardist Ryo Okumoto all over this one.
Well worth a listen.

A record that completely blew me away the first time I heard it (the day after its release, as I was late out of work on the Friday so had to wait until the Saturday morning to purchase it in Woolworths, Yate near Bristol).
£2.99 if I remember correctly.
