Controversial Prog Takes
GU LA best GU. (may be trolling though)
Haven’t heard it in years but I always thought it was dog shit. Really the worst of what prog had to offer.
Dave Seaman is a wonderful prog Dj
Max Graham aside, the best thing to come out of Canada prog wise is Jay Loopdokter
Controversial : one of my fave sets of the year is by Nick Warren to the point where I’m tempted to go and see him do an all nighter in Manchester in December.
Don’t follow Nick anymore, but I used to be a massive fan. Always respected that he didn’t go down the electro clash path with all the rest. Partied with him on two separate occasions. A total class act.
He went down the totally forgettable and bland route instead.
But that’s enough about Zackster.
Oi oi!
There are two types of men: those who prefer Warren and those who prefer Seaman….

Nick Warren’s two hour power prog sets between 97 and 03 were more fun than Digweed’s long journeys. Who cares if his mixing was pretty average. Saw him smash up Turnmills and the Cross so many times
Nick Andy Horseface and I once shared several mahoosive lines off the 1200s in Cielo in front of a heaving crowd. For the next 2 hours I proceeded to scream into Andy’s ear about why Josh Wink should mix the next GU. Oh, and Nick played Sparc. What a night.
Been meaning to bring this one up for a while: Lawler’s Nu Breed is the best in the series by a county mile.
Heaven Scent > Xpander
Pappa’s was excellent. That hippopotamus knocked out the best of the series to my mind. Lawler’s is second, ’though.
Wally I went to Cielo once and got talking to some lass who told me her mother had died the day before and she was only out to take her mind of things.
Kinda spoilt the atmosphere if I’m honest.
In a strange quirk of fate Cielo translates as heaven, which is where her mum hopefully was.
It really is a funny old game.
