GONGOVERCOME TROUBLED TIMES

Issue 165

Prog

New album birthed from a period of personal challenges and heavy deadlines.

The saying goes that chaos breeds creativity and the forthcoming album from veteran British prog outfit Gong is no exception. Bright Spirit, the band's 15th album — that's if you don't include the dozens of other LPs they've recorded in various spin-off lineups - will be out in early 2026 via Kscope. It would have been here sooner, had guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Kavus Torabi not endured a breakdown while they were making it.

Ghosts In The Half Light

Released 20 years ago, Porcupine Tree's Deadwing was the album that Lava Records hoped would turn over a profit. Although things didn't quite work out that way, the band's eighth studio record did raise their profile and launch them to American audiences. Steven Wilson, Gavin Harrison, Lava's Andy Karp and scriptwriter Mike Bennion reflect on the journey that took Porcupine Tree from playing to 30 people to filling 1,500-capacity venues and even scoring a ride in Neil Peart's Aston Martin.
