The Fusion Reactor #174 - Spheres

I was juggling earlier today. I'm definitely not an expert juggler by any stretch, but I can get by with three spherical object fairly well. I'm not good at juggling anything oblong, and asking me to juggle four of something is like asking me to drop at least three of them within 5 seconds.

So today's theme is spheres. There are lots of them, and this was a fun show because the majority of the songs are longer and therefore inherently more prog. Right? Here's the playlist:

Cygnus X-1 Book II Hemispheres	Rush	18:08
Conjunction Of Upper Spheres	High Wheel	6:22
Biosphere	Coleman, Ornette	4:23
Harmonic Spheres	Wolters, Joop	2:11
Inside the Atmosphere	Atmosfear	9:20
Japanese Folk Song [Kojo No Tsuki]	Thelonious Monk	16:43
Eternal Spheres	Priam	9:20
Stratosfear	Tangerine Dream	10:39
Stratosphere	KBB	9:09
Sphere Of Innocence	Holdsworth, Allan	5:59
Reflections From The Spheres Beyond	Eloy	12:59
Atmosphere	Fripp, Robert	11:57
