Labgate - Progressive Rock Verifizierter Sender

Labgate - Progressive Rock is a themed channel from Labgate Radio in Canada, dedicated entirely to progressive rock. That is the adventurous branch of rock that took shape in the late sixties and seventies, with long compositions, unusual time signatures and influences from classical music, jazz and folk.

The playlist goes beyond the obvious names. Recent plays included "Knots" by Gentle Giant, a band famous for its intricate vocal counterpoint, and "Opening Move" by Gryphon, an English group that mixed medieval and Renaissance instruments with rock.

That makes this a station for listeners who already love prog and want to dig deeper, as well as for curious ears who want to hear how inventive rock can get. It streams in MP3 at 128 kbps, and Labgate has its own website with its other channels.
