It’s been another massive year at Real Gone. Over the past twelve months, we’ve shared well over a hundred reviews, introduced people to a world of new bands, and even seen the return of a few old favourites with some of their best albums ever.

Our audience have been really supportive. Visitor numbers have been more than consistent with previous years, and the response to a few of the reviews has been overwhelming. It’s been a great reminder of why this website continues to exist.

We like to end each year with by sharing a selection of our favourite tunes, and this year, the Real Gone sampler is not only its usual mixed bag, but it’s held up by a couple of brilliant proggy epics.

With the usual apology to those who don’t use Spotify, as always, we hope you like what you hear, and we hope you’ve found new music to enjoy.
