Summary

Since Sonicbond Publishing launched at the end of 2018, iwe have published books that span most genres in popular music, from easy listening to psychedelia and from pop to metal. However, it is in the world of progressive rock that we have found our most comfortable home. This book features eleven chapters from books on some of the greats of the genre, including from our On Track series Yes, Genesis, Caravan, ELP, Gentle Giant, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree and Steve Hackett solo. Our Decades series offers up chapters on Marillion in the 1980s and Van Der Graaf Generator in the 1970s and our Year In series has a chapter on Aphrodite’s Child’s seminal 666. This is just the tip of the iceberg, though, and for the up-to-date list, check out the complete stocklist at the back of this book.

    George Chakiris famously played the angry gang leader Bernardo in the film version of West Side Story (1961), for which he won an Oscar for best supporting actor. My West Side Story is an insider's look at how this theatrical and cinematic landmark evolved from a conversation in Jerome Robbins's Manhattan apartment between him, Arthur Laurents, and Leonard Bernstein to ten Oscars, three Golden Globes, two Tony Awards, and a Grammy. While also a memoir of Chakiris's long and distinguished career, the emphasis is on West Side Story. Here are profiles of the film's stars and directors, from Natalie Wood and "lovely" Richard Beymer, to the mercurial Jerome Robbins and "passionate" Rita Moreno, with whom Chakiris remains friends. "I know exactly where my gratitude belongs," Chakiris writes, "and I still marvel at how, unbeknownst to me at the time, the joyful path of my life was paved one night in 1949 when Jerome Robbins sat Leonard Bernstein and Arthur Laurents down in his apartment and announced, 'I have an idea.'

    Australia is a land of remarkable geological history, shaped over millions of years by natural forces. Its distinctive landscapes, vast deserts, tropical rainforests, and rugged mountain ranges offer a glimpse into the ancient past of the continent. The story of Australia's land begins long before human habitation, when it was part of the supercontinent Gondwana. 
Approximately 300 million years ago, Gondwana began to break apart, and Australia, once connected to Antarctica, began its slow drift northward. Over millions of years, Australia became isolated, allowing unique plants and animals to evolve in this distant, isolated environment. This geological isolation contributed to the development of Australia’s unique biodiversity, with species found nowhere else on Earth. The landscape was sculpted by forces such as tectonic shifts, volcanic activity, and erosion, leading to the creation of natural wonders like the Great Barrier Reef, the outback, and the Blue Mountains. 
When the first humans arrived on the continent, around 65,000 years ago, Australia’s land was already a place of immense natural beauty and complexity. The Aboriginal peoples, the continent’s first inhabitants, established deep and enduring connections to the land. For Indigenous Australians, the land is not just a physical space but a living, spiritual entity that is central to their cultural identity. This profound connection is expressed through stories, rituals, and a deep understanding of the natural world.
