Show Description for Saturday 09/27/2008
An eclectic and slightly dissonant collection of songs for this show, featuring some rare French, Japanese and Spanish prog for your enjoyment.  A classic from Steve Hillage with his Khan project, fine symphonic prog from Cairo and Birdsongs of the Mesozoic, and some Canterbury style prog from Caravan.  It's been a long time since I have featured that reknown English proggy songstress, so we will hear from Kate Bush today as well.  We will also go to Italy and hear from Arti+Mestieri.    Welcome to the world of Progressive Rock, in all it's shapes, forms and realizations!
