Playlist - 28 November 2015

For the 200th edition of Seasons of Change, there's no birthday cake, just a good selection of music from the world of "progressive rock" since it's origins in the late 1960's with bands such as King Crimson and Procol Harum. There's also great music from past and present Australian bands and performers such as Ben Craven, Fraternity, Healing Force, Sebastian Hardie, Tamam Shud, Tully and Adelaide's own Unitopia. And with the Glendi Greek Festival on this weekend, there's also selections from Aphrodite's Child as well as the Greek god of keyboards, Vangelis.
