Growing up in the 70's I listened to a lot of prog rock...Genesis, Yes, King Crimson. I still listen to this music & have been on a big prog rock binge lately. I pulled this 3 year old mix out of the Low Light Mixes archive because I figured that Mixcloud & Facebook folks may not have heard it.
For this mix I stayed away from obvious choices like ELP, Genesis, Yes etc. Instead I used artists such as PFM, Egg, Gilgamesh, Le Orme, etc. With a well known artist like Pink Floyd, I picked cuts from less well known albums. This mix is definitely not a best of prog rock. It's just a collections of tunes that work well together.
Tracklist
Playing tracks by Pink Floyd, Gentle Giant, Gilgamesh, Camel, Triumvirat and more.

Fair play mate i really enjoyed that. Great to hear more obscure stuff by Floyd 'Obscured by Clouds' is such a good album. Camel, Caravan...loved the version of TNK, but seems churlish to single out any tracks in particular as the whole selection was brilliant and obviously compiled with a great deal of affection. Thank you for posting
Thanks for listening and thanks for your very kind words on the mix. I'm glad you enjoyed the set. Cheers!
Oh man....those opening notes of Rhayder never fail to make the hairs stand up on my neck...glorious
Great mix! brings back a lot of memories of my early teens, now I am showing my age.
Life was a lot less stressful in back then.
Thank You!

Good stuff. I got into Gentle Giant through my father-in-law's old LPs, and I'm always on the lookout for similar sounds.
So glad you enjoyed the music!
