Saturday Matinee: The Celluloid Road by The Tangent

Progressive Epics. Folky Meditations. Extended Jazz Improvisations. Some songs are just long, y'know? So when better to sit down and take it all in than on a Saturday with your beverage of choice in hand?

Today's Matinee: "The Celluloid Road" is the Prog Epic equivalent of a Crosby/Hope Road Picture and features a similar free-flowing, jaunty restlessness. Celebrating America through America's own self-expression in television and film mythologies, Andy Tillison and The Tangent turn in a smile-inducing number that manages subtle poignancy amidst the myriad pop culture references.
