Thanks for a good afternoon's music ProgPaul! Opening with some classic Marillion took me back! Of course Galleon are my favourite Swedish prog-band after Ritual.

I enjoyed Presto Ballet's Haze from The Lost Art Of Time Travel too! (a potential link there with a certain Sheffield prog-band!)

The wife was delighted to hear her guitar-god Hackett being aired!
