The New Issue Of Prog Is On Sale Now
The new issue of Prog dons its sunglasses, grabs a beer and prepares for a summer season of progtastic dazzlement, kicking off with the High Voltage Festival – and it’s guest edited by Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson!
Alongside our guide to this month’s High Voltage Festival, the newest addition in the prog festival calendar, we interview every prog band on the bill including:
Caravan, interviewed by snooker loopy Steve Davis!
Curved Air’s frontwoman Sonja Kristina, interviewed by Rise Above/Cathedral mainman Lee Dorrian.
Prog’s biggest ever roundtable as Jon Lees’ Barclay James Harvest, Anathema, Mostly Autumn and Amplifier collide at Prog Towers – and contribute to our renaissance-inspired cover masterpiece!
We also bring you:
Ian Anderson’s editor’s message, hotly-tipped new band and reissue review picks.
Chris Squire and Trevor Horn present the new Yes album Fly From Here.
Jan Akkerman discusses the major event of Minor Details.
Jon Anderson on how every day counts in Survival And Other Stories.
Dave Greenslade keys in with tales of Colosseum, Count Basie and new Roots.
New bands Cryptex, Moonwagon, Wobbler and the Ian Anderson-approved Dogma.
The Prog eye view of that reunion at Roger Waters’ O2 Wall show as well as Rush, Pendragon, Tangerine Dream, Von Hertzen Brothers and more on tour.
Plus our essential guide to prog festivals, tours and releases in the coming summery months. Yes, we said summer (puts away umbrella and wellies).
Did we say there’s a free nine-track CD, too? With an exclusive Big Big Train track? And a bumper 19-page review section featuring Yes, CCLR, Mostly Autumn, Carl Palmer, Andy Sears, Queensryche, Devin Townsend, John Wetton, Marillion, The Flower Kings and more?
We don’t half spoil you…
The new issue of Classic Rock Presents Prog – out now!
LOVE this mag but is is simply too expensive. Simple maths but it aint worth the entry fee.
Just got the AOR mag so pocket money won’t extend to this as well. They are rather expensive.
Would still prefer to see both AOR & Prog content back in the main CR mag.
Too expensive
There you go CR – listen to your fans – make the price affordable – or just include the stories in CR regular.
Ditto. Great product, but I don’t need a different mag for every subgenre.
Classic Rock Presents Prog and AOR are two great publications with decent knowledgeable editors but priced at £7.99 each is a bit of a push especially when only issued a week apart. Why not get the greedy publishers to stagger the issue dates a bit more to ease the stress on the pocket.
Next week we have the regular CR issue but unless it stops trying to turn itself into a Mojo/Uncut/Q type of magazine this will be the one to go.
Any way nice work as always Progsters.
I am writing from Singapore. I would buy at £7.99 anytime except that here it cost S$28 ie. almost £14. CR is more affordable but still stiff at S$15 per pop. So there you go.
Hi Guys, Here in Ireland we pay €11.22 per issue. Prog is exo, bit will not be forking out for AOR as well, time is coming when Classic Rock mag itself will be just a pamphlet.
And whats with the extremely short sets from Pallas and The Enid at HVF this year. Not good enough by a long shot!!
CR mag has just landed. Fairly disappointed to find the lead article to be another one on Led Zep and yet another on Aerosmith. Big Yawn.
Would have loved the Foreigner article to be the lead one instead, plus the Eden’s Curse from the AOR mag.
Would have loved the Dave Greenslade article from the Prog mag in there too.
CR mag definitely needs a revamp and a rethink.
Oi, what’s with the Queensryche track on the CD….. according to Mr Tate they are “absolutely not” progressive rock
AOR and PROG mags are definetely the best rock magazine EVER and they should also be distributed all over the world in every newsstand,I bet they will increase sale tremendously even in non english spoken territories
Maybe they should be edited in a single new entIty (AORPROG),I think this will help greatly their diffusion and affordability.
What I would like to see is more articles on new AOR bands and especially the next cover of AOR should be dedicated to the magnificent WORK OF ART !!!
I notice that there are to be 9 issues of Prog in a year. The price must come down! No need for the cardboard outer packaging for a start.
Prog is way too expensive. I can’t afford it and unless the prog material finds its way back into CR I won’t be buying that either.
Could you tell when next issue is out as it has the 13th July on it and thats the latest one i havve thanks
I have asked on every available board and site please tell us when the next issue is due? A pretty poor mistake to make in the editorial letter from Ian Anderson (dont think someone like him could make such an elementary mistake!0 Also if you are going to charge eight quid for a mag stop advertising the CD as being free! IT AINT!
