Hi Moses!

Just a quick note to say that the last couple of shows sounded wonderful! Not sure what the secret ingredient was but they just flowed brilliantly - and, most of all, the music was amazing. Some of it I've heard before but there was a feast of great new stuff for me.

Can't thank you enough for The Fusion Reactor.

Cheers,

Stu of the Antipodes

Thanks Stu!

I really appreciate everyone's comments, they're very encouraging. So what's everyone looking for in the show? New (to them) stuff? Classic favorites? A mix of both?

Inquiring minds like mine want to know!

Hi Moses

Just wanted to join in and say thanks for podcasting the show. Although I'm a long-time Zappa fan I'm only just discovering that there's a whole world of prog and fusion out there and your show has been a great primer. Personally I'd like to hear anything that's regarded as an all-time classic in the genre(s) - I've been missing out on Starless all these years and probably a lot more besides!
