Progressive pop releases, week 39

This week's progressive pop releases highlight a blend of legacy acts and evolving voices. U2's collaboration with Dolly Parton on Carnaval de Luz, Rick Wakeman's Return to the Red Planet with The English Rock Ensemble, and Julia Holter's Materia, inspired by touring and earlier work, reflect a range of creative approaches. The reissue of Keys To Ascension: The Studio Recordings and the exploration of Marillion's final album alongside their solo work underscore ongoing artistic reflection. New projects like Arthur Brown and Dan Smith's Nature and the tribute to The Alan Parsons Project's debut further illustrate the genre's enduring influence.
