The Fusion Reactor #219 - I'm Thankful For Prog

Quick note... the clothing drive and homeless outreach were a great success. It was definitely an eye-opening experience, which made me start Thanksgiving a week early. So speaking of which, I thought I'd put together a show of some (yeah only some) of my favorite prog and fusion artists.

The Fusion Reactor #218 - Clothing Drive

The title is pretty funny because on Saturday of this week we are doing an outreach to the homeless folks in Pittsburgh. We've been collecting clothing for the last few weeks.

But yes, this is from Ted's suggestion, and even includes his song 'request.'

The Fusion Reactor #217 - The Classical Reactor

Yes, there were plenty of directions I could have gone with this. But what we end up with is a bunch of original prog pieces and one "improvised excerpt" done - or at least named - in a classical style. There's quite a bit of fusiony stuff in there as well, you can rest assured.

You'll be treated to my fake British accent introducing the following:

Childrens' Concerto	Moraz and Bruford	5:05
War Suite Concerto	Mattsson	14:02
Improvised Excerpt From Bela Bartok's Concerto For Orchestra, 2nd Movement	Jordan, Stanley	9:53

Symphony No. 2: First Movement	Egg	20:41

The Fusion Reactor #216 - Reactorful of Secrets

I can't tell you the theme this week. But you can probably figure it out for yourself with a little bit of sleuth work.

Rock Balls/Destination Unknown	Platypus	7:41
Secret Touch	Rush	6:35
The Secret Life of Walter Riddle	French TV	8:13
Destination Unknown	Shadow Gallery	7:01
