A spinoff of its parent magazine, Classic Rock Presents Prog takes a look at progressive music and the artists who weave them together. Each issue takes a soul-searching foray into the hearts and minds of the heroes of rock, reviewing both new and old releases. Building upon the history of some of the most genre-defining pieces ever devised and those who followed who continue to refine, revolutionise and completely discard the formulas of those who came before. Reflecting on the proud genesis of this unexpected genre, Classic Rock Presents Prog is an able tutor for those in the dark about the evolution of progressive music, and a tonic for existing fans.

A massive 5CD head-trip through the outer reaches of psych rock from yesterday, today, and beyond! - Includes tracks by such well-known bands as Hawkwind, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Iron Butterfly, The Black Angels, The Warlocks, The Deviants, Allah-Las and more! The actual music in this box set is varied, yet gels together well, it's ambient psyche in places, a hint of mellow kraut rock, indie space rock, it's hard to put a description to the box as a whole….it's vibe from start to finish is hypnotic, edgy.

Former Blackmore keyboardist/singer Tony Carey takes a more direct, pop-oriented approach on his follow-up to the successful 1984 release SOME TOUGH CITY. Loaded with heartrending rock ballads, BLUE HIGHWAY shows a more vulnerable, yet still highly creative Carey. The album almost sounds like the blueprint that will later lead Boston’s favorite sons Aerosmith to worldwide success…

Man were one of the most promising rock bands to come out of Wales in the early '70s. Along with Brinsley Schwarz, they helped establish the core of the pub rock sound, but they played louder and also had a progressive component to their work that separated them from many of their rivals…

Climax Blues Band (originally known as The Climax Chicago Blues Band) is a British blues rock band.

'The First Ten Years' is a series of 10 double 12" and 10 CDs by Iron Maiden, released between February 24 and April 28, 1990, to commemorate Iron Maiden's first ten years of releasing singles. In addition to original b-side, each release in the series contains a bonus track, a part in the "Listen With Nicko" series, in which drummer Nicko McBrain talks about the songs on the discs, in his own humorous way.

Rhino has a history of doing things up right, but this time it's outdone itself. More than five hours of prog, from The Nice to Golden Earring, presented thoroughly and largely chronologically. Depending on your outlook, it's either heaven or hell. There's plenty here to occupy the idle, drug-riddled mind; some well known (Focus's "Hocus Pocus," ELP's "Knife Edge," Genesis) and some wonderfully obscure…
