NEW ACID DRAGON OUT NOW!

Issue #85 has interviews with AIRBRIDGE, KARMAMOI and NINE SKIES, a feature on HERETIC AND YES’s “Heaven and Earth”, “The Quest” and “Mirror to the Sky” and a look back at STACKRIDGE. There are 40 detailed reviews, including CENSUS OF HALLUCINATIONS, COMEDY OF ERRORS, ELEGANT SIMPLCITY, GALAHAD, JETHRO TULL, MOON GOOSE, RIVERSIDE, SEVEN IMPALE, THE FLOWER KINGS, THE RICK RAY BAND, TOMORROW (a blast from the past) and TRYO.

It starts with Thierry Sportouche’s engaging editorial:

“We are a non-profit organisation living from subscriptions…we publish studies and stories to enlighten our passion, to explain and explore: How did Prog begin? How did we pass from psychedelic to Metal Prog? What other music influenced Prog? Classical? Jazz? What music did it influence? And we interview a lot of people: musicians mainly but also label owners, concert organisers…”

Subscription is 16 euros/ £13/ $18? In Scotland that would be about 3 pints of beer for a year!

The production of AD has improved immeasurably over the years with cover art from LogoGraphica and excellent layout by CHRISTIAN STAEBLER.
