I made this mix 7 years ago but never posted it to Mixcloud. But as I just posted a follow-up I thought I would make the original mix available exclusively to subscribers.
I've been a prog rock fan since the 70s but I rarely listen to anything that would be considered current prog rock. Part of that is due to my tastes changing over the years. I have less interest in long guitar solos and ridiculous lyrics. I still enjoy all my old favs but the new stuff just comes across as silly much of the time. I know that old 70s prog is filled with stupid lyrics but those get a pass because I've loved them for 40 years.
This mix was inspired by a playlist that I found on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4sZuhwUI9TvkyVCNMYreKQ?si=8b0767c868804671
This music, a collection of old and new tunes, satisfies my prog rock urge but avoids the pitfalls of terrible lyrics and questionable vocals.
Cheers and thanks for your support!

When I was listening to Fractal Panorama - Guitar Space Rock and reading about the mix you posted that about 7 years ago you did a mix called Space Rock and it was not posted on Mixcloud. So I used your link and went to listened to the mix. I was blown away how awesome these songs are and I have forgot about them. I searched my collection of music and I have allot of A produce albums which includes THE GOLDEN NEEDLE, also have all of Pink Floyds Albums. After this mix I am going start looking into my old albums to see what else I have forget. Thanks for Fractal Panorama - Guitar Space Rock and Space Rock mixes, I have been blown away.👀
I missed your comment until just now. I'm glad you were blown away by the mixes. These were both a lot of fun to put together because they were so outside the normal stuff I post. Hopefully, I won't go another 7 years between space rock mixes. Cheers!
