With all the <waves hands> going on, I reckon it's time for a distraction. This is also driven by a comment from a follower who didn't realise music was such a big thing in my life. 🤘😆🤘 So here we go... a stroll through some of my favourite, highly recommended albums that most may not know about.

First up is the album that made me realise I'd transitioned from metal to prog guy. It's not my favourite of theirs, but it does contain one of my favourite songs of all time, Arriving Somewhere But Not Here. As always, you can follow along here, open.spotify.com/playlist/72d... #VinylWednesday

They're also really good buggers, who were happy to help me troll my good mate Ryan, who is also a big Riverside fan but sadly couldn't join me to see them.

Next up is one of my favourite modern bands, and an album that is a pretty representative introduction to their style. It could be the most challenging recommendation so far, but give it a chance. 🤘😂🤘 Recommended song to check out, Cockroach King. #VinylWednesday open.spotify.com/album/3RBULT...

I love John Mitchell's work, and this is the first of his solo stuff performed under the Lonely Robot moniker. This is some of the more accessible prog you'll hear from me. Recommended song to check out, Oubliette. #VinylWednesday open.spotify.com/playlist/72d...
