Yep, another admirer here. After hearing them on the radio in the late 70's I went out and bought their newest single at the time (Beat The Clock). Still have it. And every once in a while I check...

About the name: Knight Area is a literal translation of the neighbourhood where the Klazinga brothers grew up: knight (=ridder) area (=buurt)
I am guessing that Concorde's objective was solely the Collins output, but someone told them it was a package deal. And I am pretty sure that the guys have excluded themselves for having to pay when...
Although I really like the re-recording of Journey, I never took the "recently rediscovered parts" serious. Sounds a bit too "we made a contract in the Seventies to bring the classic Yes line-up back...
I am currently holding off on ordering the vinyl (I do not need a second Live From Lyon, bonus track or not), although I am really interested in this release. The (insured & tracked) postage to NL...
Cheers for the story, Dave!
Alright Dave, spill the beans on Cinema, then :-)
Cheers,
Jos
Oooh noooo, Dave! Please don't ask (see what I did there?) The truth would take all the fun out of speculation :-) BTW. Love your version of Cinema w. Hackett!!
I see what you did there Henry ;-)
Or, you could travel to Dortmund, Germany, because it can be seen there eween September 2018 and Feb. 2019. https://www.pinkfloydexhibition.de/eng/home.html
I received confirmation today that my vinyl orders (heavyweight lp & picture disc) are shipped. It was only then that I saw I could download the digital files. Twice.
With you on this one. Hurry Up And Smell The Roses is a very good album.
My guess is they were trying some minor corrections, and after that they found out that it wasn't in line with the rest of the album. So they corrected the other bits until they reached the point of...
I quite like to listen to No Earthly Connection, Rock 'N Roll Prophet, Cost Of Living and, hell, even Rhapsodies has its moments ;-) 1984 is really good.
Strange, I didn't think Downes' solo was bad at all.
My two cents: If you like the first two KA albums, you should certainly give this one a listen. They have incorporated more of their early sound and didn't continue on the path they took on...
I actually do not think the bv's were live. My guess is they were triggered from Geoff's rig, just like in the Asia live gigs. I also believe that JW's bv's are clearly audible. Doesn't matter...
Been sorting through my collection of Wetton material to make a playlist for the 2-hour special on Sunday's SymfoZone. Starting with U.K.'s Rendezvous 6:02, because that's where I first heard The...
I would like to include Dutch proggers Earth & Fire to this list. Their 70's repertoire is chock full of Tron. Maybe Tomorrow Maybe Tonight, Memories, Song Of The Marching Children, Storm & Thunder,...
Amen to that!
Is there anyone else whose BD suddenly goes silent around the 1:39:21 mark? It is during the playback of the 2016 Dance Of The Dawn. The timer then is behaving erratically and the player goes back to...
Not sure if that's right. Didn't Yes have a multi-album deal with Atlantic?
I seem to recognize some FOOW licks around 2:32 minute mark and beyond.
That would be brilliant in the Album Series: Yes playing the entire ABWH album.
My thoughts exactly.
I am very curious about this release also. However, wasn't there some sort of understanding between Lundin and Stolt, that the former would create new studio music, while the latter went out to play...
When I first heard the album, I loved the way Time And A Word segued into Going For The One. I didn't know they cut TAAW out of the medley. Now, I wished they'd released the medley intact.
After listening a couple of times to this album, I keep thinking: 'Where are the hooks?', 'Where are the memorable melodies I can hum or sing along to?' It's a lot of Anderson to chew, isn't it? Like...
Especially Percival the Knight is a killer track. That one re-uses some motifs from Merlin. Very nice. I believe, I like this re-recording better than Journey.
I particularly like the fact that you can read F@%k as Frank as well as Fuck. And, please don't tell me that the symbols don't add up ;-) I don't care.
I know they need to 'PR things up' in order to sell tickets, but I'd wish they didn't use terms like 'holy trinity of Yes', 'this is how Yes music should sound' and 'current Yes being a kind of...
Maybe it's already mentioned somewhere in this thread, but I would not be surprised to see Roine Stolt doing bass duties.
Cool vid. Is that Godsticks' stick man Steve Roberts I see behind the kit?
The 2002 Rhino 5.1 Fragile that includes America, is on the new Panegyric Blu-ray, or has someone already stated that? ;) Someone also asked about the 'Siberian Khatru-ness' of All Fighters Past....
Hope is a classic, and like I said in an other thread on the subject: the orchestral Hope from the Sun Set compilation is sheer joy. 3:47 EST is also really good, and there are some good moments on...
It is doable to manually navigate through the various chapters when your menu isn't working. I have managed to listen to all the content on the Fragile BD on my affected Sony. It's a bit of a hassle,...
Maybe Collins/Gabriel et al. could start a The Musical Box tribute band and do their Lamb shows.
My feelings exactly at the time. I liked the B-Side sooooo much better than Side A. It got way more plays on the old turntable.
You know, the thing with Neal Morse? Every time I see an announcement like this, I think: "Here we go again, with yet another live release. Who needs such a thing?" Until I actually hear the first...
AFAIK On the OYE tour, Yes played the title track and occasionally From The Balcony.
Just listen to P-machinery (Polish original mix 12" from the T-EMPO Remix EP 1995) by Propaganda. Steve Howe's all over that one.
My first YesShow was in July, 1984 at the Ahoy in Rotterdam (NL). I was 19 and had found out about this band 3 years before. When I learned that they didn't exist any more at that time, I was...
And the Full Circle and 35th anniverary tours
This Thursday, July 2nd, it's 31 years ago that I, 18 years old, waited by the stage door of the Ahoy Hall in Rotterdam (NL). I had just witnessed my first Yes gig, when suddenly I heard someone...
A couple of years ago, Klaatu released the SunSet compilation, on which they put the original orchestral version of Hope. That was before they added all kinds of overdubs, and thus putting the...
Maybe he wasn't in the band for the whole tour, but I do recall seeing Camel with Richie perform in 1984 in Holland.
That would be Richie Close, who played with them on the Pressure Points vid/tour
We all remember The Grind Date by De La Soul, which samples Ritual...

Klaatu/Ted Jones. Most of them, anyway.
Priceless!
They are both on the same roster at Frontiers. So, I think there's the connection.
I always really, really liked the sound of Sanguine Hum, and am therefore looking forward to this.
Could not wanting to be present on all future photographic represenations come from Moraz himself and not from the band? Just asking for perspective's sake. Although I can't think of a reason why you...
I bet only the members of the Sell-a-lot's Lounge would ever have heard that album.
Loving it!
Made and produced some of the best 80's synth-pop out there. He also did a couple of Chris DeBurgh albums that also feature Steve Negus (Saga) on drums. The Thinkman track I always come back to is...
Read in some magazine that Sky guitarist John Williams is now a film score composer...
Cheers SuperTed, much appreciated.
For progfans state side: Laser's Edge also carries the CD (https://www.lasercd.com/cd/road-1).

Makes 'Perfect Sense' in my book: he wasn't around for the 1994 sessions.
I am not particularly fond of the pseudo-orchestral intro of Subway Walls. That is where most people get the Asia/Icon-comparison from, I think. What I do like about it though, is the inclusion of...
