The best Thing i’ve heard all year...

IAN ANDERSON

“William ‘Captain Kirk’ Shatner doing spoken-word Christmas repertoire on his new album, Shatner Claus.

It features such artists as Henry Rollins, Todd Rundgren, Mel Collins, Rick Wakeman, Billy Gibbons, Iggy Pop, Judy Collins and… Ian Anderson. Delightfully cheesy but great fun. Very tongue-in-cheek.”

RIKARD SJÖBLOM (GUNGFLY)

“My pick is ET EX by Gösta Berlings Saga. Great keyboard playing with nice textures on synthesisers and glorious Fender Rhodes piano, with beautiful haunting melodies. It’s soft like a lullaby, then thunderous and majestic. Also the best use of a Mellotron I’ve

heard in ages!”

HUW EDWARDS (KOYO)

“For me, it’s Phase by Mildlife. It’s got all the warmth and synthesiser sparkle of Tame Impala but with more groove and funky jazz fusion-esque guitars as well. Check out the first track The

Magnificent Moon, and the music video. Lots of eye candy for the everyday prog nerd.”
