We're all very excited about the new Jethro Tull album here at Prog, which is why Ian Anderson graces the front cover of the new issue, not least because new album Curious Ruminant brings with it a sound that harks back to those heady days of the mid-1970s when the band were at the very top of their game. It’s also an album of reflection, something it shares with 1975’s Minstrel In The Gallery. That album celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, so we took Ian on a trip down memory lane, and tell the story of that great album too!
We also pay tribute to former Soft Machine keyboardist Mike Ratledge; discuss 10cc, Godley & Creme and beyond with Kevin Godley; look at the work of the ever-wonderful and ever-unique Cardiacs; discuss the legacy of krautrock pioneers Can with Irmin Schmidt; and chart the continuing rise of UK prog rockers Ghost Of The Machine.
