We celebrate the 80s prog revival with the help of Marillion, Pallas, Twelfth Night, Solstice, IQ, Pendragon and loads more on the cover of the latest issue of Prog Magazine, which is on sale now...

It's been 40 years since the 80s prog revival and yet the influence of that period of porgressive music history still hugely informs the progressive scene of today, with most of the bands still going strong. We explore the phenomenon of the 80s prog revival in the new issue. How it happened. Why it happened. And what happened next, from the people who were there.

Also this issue, did you ever see Greg Lake planking with David Bowie?  Well you can with our dip into the unseen Lake photo archives Francis Dunnery doesn't hold back discussing his career to date, Nektar pay tribute to late drummer Ron Howden and tell the story of 1973's classic Remember The Future album and we celebrate the return of Moon Safari.

Elsewhere Matt Berry, Cyan, Tarja, D'Virgilio Morse Jennings, Mariusz Duda, Earthside and more bring us up to speed on their latest releases and the Prog Writers choose their Albums Of The Year. What ddi they vote as Prog Album Of The Year?

Oh, there's also four great 80s prog revival era postcards too. And a great 21-track Sacred Bones Records free sampler featuring music from John Carpenter, Hilary Woods, Zola Jesus and more...
