Playlist - 5 January 2019

For tonight's Summer edition of "Seasons Of Change", to paraphrase the title of a very early Pink Floyd song, we...

SET THE CONTROLS FOR: 1976
 ...encountering the usual diverse serving of prog rock and anything else that fits from Australia and overseas, or at least as much of the first 6 months as can fit into 2 hours. Amidst some classics and oddities, this includes classic Australian music from the band Sebastian Hardie and guitar wizard Lobby Loyde - both with musical epics stretching to near 20 minutes - as well as classic Kiwi music from Split Enz and the unwieldy (in size) symphonic-jazz-rock band Rainbow Theatre from Melbourne.

8pm
Sebastian Hardie    Windchase (February 1976) (The Windchase)
Genesis    Entangled (February 1976) (A Trick Of The Tail)
Camel    Another night (single edit) (March 1976) (Moonmadness)
Led Zeppelin    Achilles last stand (April 1976) (Presence)
Rush    Something for nothing (April 1976) (2112)
Rick Wakeman    The maker (April 1976) (No Earthly Connection)
9pm
Lobby Loyde & Southern Electric    Obsecration Parts A to D: A) Play My Guitar, B) Obligato, C) Continuation D) Legato (May 1976) (Obsecration)
The Alan Parsons Project    The Raven (May 1976) (Tales Of Mystery And Imagination)
Kansas    Mysteries and mayhem (May 1976, December 1975 in US) (Masque)
Split Enz    Matinee idyll (129) + Stranger than fiction (July 1976) (Second Thoughts)
Rainbow Theatre    Rebecca (1976) (Fantasy Of Horses)
Ben Rogers Instrumental Asylum    Seasons of change (2007) (Reverb Rehab)
