Once again, Billy Sherwood of Yes fame has assembled a group of some of the biggest names in progressive rock under the moniker of The Prog Collective. The contributors include John Wetton (Asia), Alan Parsons, Chris Squire (Yes), Rick Wakeman, Nik Turner (Hawkwind), Mel Collins (King Crimson), and surprisingly William Shatner (yes, Captain Kirk himself!). Unfortunately, unlike Sherwood’s last project – The Fusion Syndicate – Epilogue, the second release by The Prog Collective, falls a bit short.
