Some new things from the folks at Neuma Records & Projekt Records morphs into a bunch of used goodies I found in a store in Ellicott City, MD. Someone was getting rid of their collection of prog and prog-metal, so I scarfed up a handful of Spock's Beard releases along with most of what comprises Phase Two.

Enjoy!

PTE closes out the month of September by celebrating National Piano Month with a taste of numerous musical genres featuring the instrument that Andrés Segovia described as, " a monster that screams when you touch its teeth" or as author Maria Cristina noted, “The piano keys are black and white but they sound like a million colors in your mind.”

That being said, I'm particularly fond of Thelonius Monk's observation, “The piano ain’t got no wrong notes.”

Enjoy!

Greetings!

Much new listening for us all this week! I'm particularly thrilled to open this week's program with new music from composer/reed player, Ken Field's latest Neuma Records release, "The Canopy". Ken is an old friend of Pushing The Envelope and it's alway a sonic pleasure when he puts out a new release.

In addition, lots of music from other folks who've you've heard on PTE previously, featuring new releases from Ken Wallraf, Trem77 & Fletina (in tandem w/ fellow sound artist, Peter Wullen).

Lastly, I broke out my copy of Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music" to close things out.

Enjoy!
