The next release in Esoteric Recordings' series of compilations celebrating progressive rock music.

'Harken Forth – Sounds Of Progressive Rock 1976-1978' is a 4CD clamshell box set which gathers over five hours of music.

A genre sometimes maligned as stagnating by critics at a time when punk rock began to make an impression, the truth was somewhat different with many progressive rock acts reaching new heights of popularity and commercial success. This compilation reveals that, between 1976 and 1978, diverse and creative music continued to be produced by artists for an audience for whom the album was the important format and the iconic television series The Old Grey Whistle Test was essential viewing.

'Harken Forth – Sounds Of Progressive Rock 1976-1978' is a lovingly compiled collection of music from the period, featuring artists such as Kevin Ayers, Barclay James Harvest, Be Bop Deluxe, Camel, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Gentle Giant, Greenslade, Steve Hackett, Hawkwind, Steve Hillage, Kansas, Man, Nektar, PFM, Procol Harum, Renaissance, Soft Machine, Utopia, Van Der Graaf Generator, Yes and many more.
