Album: New Light (Big Sun Records)

The ever-active session legend on his love for cheap guitars, Roland gear, and modding his pickups

Manchester quartet hit heavy and soft with radiant prog sound.

Returning with an album of man-and-guitar Dylan covers, the Eurythmics legend’s playing has never been laid so bare. He tells us about gigging folk clubs underage, the blues in his palette, and a memorable night on the tiles with Robert Zimmerman himself

Mike Zaite explains how a background in electronics and a front-row seat to the British Invasion of the 1960s led to the formation of Dr Z Amplification – and why the sonics always lead the schematics

The great and good of progressive music give us a glimpse into their prog worlds. As told to Grant Moon.
