I'm sad to say that Nic Potter, former bassist for Van Der Graaf Generator and Rare Bird, has passed away at the age of 61. I'll be playing a track from H to He on the next show in his memory.

It's The Eleventh Hour Radio Show: sixty minutes of boundary-pushing music with something for everyone. From its roots in the symphonic rock experiments of the Beatles and The Moody Blues, progressive rock has continued to evolve and branch through the years into a number of sub-genres and styles including Art-Rock, Symphonic Prog, Progressive Metal, Space Rock, Neo-progressive, Zeuhl, and Math-Rock. The Eleventh Hour is a journey through the years that encompasses everything from the pastoral sounds of Genesis in the early 1970�s to the virtuosic, metallic style of modern groups like Dream Theater and Andromeda.
