Background
The Prog Rock Machine is an independent progressive rock show and online station from Australia, put together by one presenter who goes by the name Rael, borrowed from a character on a Genesis album. By its own account it has been running for 15 years, nine of them online, and has made around 800 two-hour programmes.
Each weekly show follows a theme such as an artist, an album or an era, with spoken background between the tracks. The music reaches well beyond strict prog and runs from the early 1950s to the present. The host says the work is unpaid and done for the love of the music, and artists can send in tracks and a short bio to be considered. The shows are also carried by community stations around Australia, and Phoenix FM lists it in its programme line-up.
