The Fusion Reactor #198 - "Live" From Peru, Part 1

It was a little bit more difficult this week to put together a show. Since I'm in Peru, I thought I'd just record little excerpts from my thoughts on the trip interspersed with some songs. Here's what we have this week...

I may well be able to do a similar show next week. Hope you enjoyed this one and can tune in again next week!

The Fusion Reactor #197 - On The Way To Peru

I'm leaving on an airplane to Peru when this show originally broadcasts on ProgPositivity. I should be there already but on a 12-hour bus ride when it replays on Friday. The Aural Moon broadcasts are a few days later, and I'll be in Peru for them as well, so it's very likely that I won't even hear this show during any of its broadcasts. This is ironic because it's basically a bunch of fusion that I haven't listened to in a while! I guess I won't be hearing them this time either! No real theme to speak of, just fusion.

Return To Forever - Medieval Overture
Metheny, Pat - Facing West
Hunter, Charlie - Return Of The Candyman
Schleigho - Continent
Passport - Sambukada
Davis, Miles - Zimbabwe, part 2
Skolnick, Alex - Highway Star
Fleck, Béla & the Flecktones - Zona Mona
Chick Corea Elektric Band - Alan Corday
Mahavishnu Orchestra - Be Happy
Bruford, Bill - Triplicity
Brand X - Why Should I Lend You Mine (When You've Broken Yours Off Already...)
Williams, Tony (Lifetime) - Lonesome Wells (Gwendy Trio)

It's quite possible that there will not be a new show for a couple of weeks, as I don't expect to return to the States until June 29th.

The Fusion Reactor #196 - The New Breed of Fusion, Part 2

I got a bunch of suggestions about stuff to include in the "new fusion" show, so here's a part 2. Many of the suggestions are included for your enjoyment.
