In this week's edition of the Threshold Bookcast, we follow Jake Harvey as he visits the illustrious Mistress Aeira for a private consultation.

At the beginning of the episode, the former businessman reminisces some of the events that have lead him to the political arena, and ponders what…

     I'm the youngest of seven, in a musical family in which everyone was encouraged to learn to play an instrument by our father, a life-long reed player, & our mother, an only-child who never had the opportunity, but wished she had. Of course this meant nightly practice sessions in which each sibling futilely attempted to isolate him or herself in a portion of the house with the inevitable result being a dissonant cacophony of competition from drums or marimba,…

Hi There,

     I know most, if not all, of the artists reading this are well beyond much of the advice I've written below, but I thought as musicians you might appreciate & enjoy reading about the concepts I've tried to outline here & perhaps share them with younger players or maybe even find something applicable to your own joy of making music.  Do not be offended as this is intended neither to suggest that anyone in particular needs this advice, nor that…

As we join him in a conference room of the First Cruiser of the Federal Fleet, we find the experienced politician in deep…

The Birth of Oceans5 and The Mingulay Boatsong

When you think of Progressive music, the last thing you imagine is a 200 year old tune with traditional lyrics mixed into it. However this is what Folk Singer/Songwriter Andy John Bradford had in mind when he approached Progressive musician Colin Tenchfrom Bunchakeze with the idea. Together they…

The third chapter of « 2206 : Window Onto A New World, » revolves around Aeira, a high profile soothsayer, often derided as a celebrity astrologer by her detractors.

As the narrative begins, the prophetess is enjoying post dinner conversations with three of her closest friends.…

     Creating this list was difficult.  How would I narrow down the nearly 1,000 albums I own(a small collection compared to many) to a mere 1/10% of the whole to arrive at "The Ten Albums That Changed My Life"? Some titles came to mind immediately, but I have many favorite bands whose entire catalog I own & love dearly in one way or another;  so I decided I must limit each of these bands to only one selection.  Furthermore, I had to consider not only which albums I enjoy the…

When I announced to my Power of Prog friends(September 2012) that I was giving Twitter a try, many expressed apprehensions about it & some asked that I let them know how it worked out for me.  Well it has been over five months & I think I've developed a feel for it, so here I present what not to do.  If you'd like to learn more about Twitter use, etiquette, terms, & functions there are plenty of explanatory…

As strange as it may seem, our 1st album, Life or Dessert? is about to go out-of-print.



There seem to be a handful of copies at the warehouse and possibly at a few stores. But Amazon has been sold out for months and there are only a couple of copies left at CDBaby.



Being old-school, album oriented types, we like a physical copy, especially because of the artwork.…

     In the "old days" days when the 33 1/3 LP vinyl record had a maximum capacity of 30-50 minutes(longer albums generally meant less bass & lower fidelity), bands were restricted to including only their best material(although we all know there was often some filler, too, usually confined to side-B).  The practice was to at least start & end each side with a strong track or hit single.  In the case of single & double LPs this formula was generally…
