Too much to think

Once again, we get to showcase some great work from around the world.

Most of the artists are from the last five years. The exception is a real treat for fans of Pink Floyd (and fans of great music, for that matter). We include in this show an excerpt from the concert Floyd guitarist David Gilmour put on last fall at London's Royal Albert Hall featuring some very interesting guests. This show features a classic Pink Floyd song with David Bowie handling the vocals and some brilliant guitar work from David Gilmour.

Also in the show:
From Los Angeles, Firebug. Great band and they're in Vancouver May 14/15 as part of New Music West.
Moon Stereo. You'll never guess where this band is from but you'll be happy you listened to them. Progressive/jazz feel.
Mute Math. Amazing blending of the melody of pop with the energy of rock.
Pocketful. 'Sit back and think' music from Sweden.
Porcupine Tree. Progressive Rock? Zeppelin meets Floyd? Outstanding material.
Sophya Baccini. Another example of outstanding writing/performance/production.
The Fab. Instrumental from Italy with some very interesting guitar work.
The Trews. Great 'top down' driving song.
Voodoo Johnson. Brit Rock. Coming to a colisseum near you!

Enjoy the show!

Cheers,
Michael
