Yeah, I agree! Already pre-ordered it! "Prog fans" would rather support a young true talents with their money instead of keep wasting their money on zombies like modern "Yes".

Yeah, I agree! Already pre-ordered it! "Prog fans" would rather support a young true talents with their money instead of keep wasting their money on zombies like modern "Yes".
This might be the single most sober and the best thing I've heard uttered on this board.
Current "Yes" is nothing but disgrace to the legacy one of the best bands in the world.
Amen! Although I'd be ok with White instead of Bill.
Is it Yes or a walking dead with the name Yes on it forehead? And you and others try to persuade themsleves that that walking dead is really Yes?
Look at the videos above: who is that clown that try...
I don't understand how dare this band to keep using the glorious name of Yes. How do they try to full?
And I don't understand how self-respected people that call themselves "Yes fans" go and pay...
I recently re-read Bill Martin's book of Yes and consequently listened to it as part of my "re-listening Yes" campaign. :)
And I was surprised how not bad it sounds. I'd say at least half of the...
Union isn't that bad, IMHO,
As of FFH and H&E: no joke in your statement to me! :)
With all my respect, this statement is questionable and disrespectful to other artists "out there". Looks like being YES die-HEAD means loving anything labeled "Yes", even if it hardly sounds like...
Thanks for link to excellent concert!
Nice to see here a few ECM-related posts from a fellow ECM fan named Pierre that lives not so far away from me in Sherbrooke, Quebec :)
Color of Chloe is...
Pretty much my opinion about their debut.
However, I quite like Trilogy. Alas, it has has an annoying "funny" song, just like all other ELP LPs after their debut, that ruins overall impression. It's...
So, pre-order it directly from the nice prog label InsideOut for much cheaper and fuck greedy Amazon! BTW, have you noticed those jerks hiked free sheeping amount to $49????
$25 for pre-order in Amazon... A bit overprised in my opinion.
Whatever makes the old man happy and alive!
I don't really care: I honestly never been a huge fan of The Wall.
Whatever we all say, the reality is heros of our generation have been leaving us in mass. And we, old asses, are approaching the pont of no return too. :(
Hope Keith will go to heaven.
The same for me: probably their peak, and their only their album I haven't sold/donated to Goodwill.
Never really understood all the hype about Riverside: they mix of influences and direct...
The funny thing is the majority of prog "prog heroes" deny they belong to prog: Fripp, Ian Anderson, Hamill & Banton, Steven Wilson/PT, Opeth, Marillion (Hogarth-era), etc.
In some extreme cases...
"Weird" is a nice politically-correct definition of that "organization".
I can juts repeat what I always said: this is a humiliation for people of Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Led Zeppeing, etc.,...
I just bumped into the article below:
https://www.yahoo.com/music/do-the-grammys-have-a-rap-problem-185305460.html
The article itself is quite a thing that perfectly demonstrate why so many people...
Good luck with the tour, District and Dave!
When you get back, come to Boston! :)
Just 16 CDs? I'm really disappointed! Any Collector's Edition must consists of at least 50 CDs and 1,000 pages booklet!
I have exactly the same opinion about HCE and GFD (Wilson's absolute best, IMHO).
Outtakes from an official full lenght 70 minutes CD that you didn't like so much? And that 70 min disk already has...
This album deseres 5.1 treatment more than 80% of 5.1 releases available now (I'm talking about broad market, not just prog releases).
Kind of Blue
Bitches Brew
Jack Johnson
In A Silent Way
Nefertiti
It pretty much describes what I feel about being into prog. Not prog prog, but prog music overall.
Sometimes I want to listen to something straightforward, like Suzi Quattro :) or some blues-rock,...
You can't be wrong: how a year can pass without a three-disk epic from good old Neal?
And without a new Blu-ray from Steven Wilson? :)
Seriously: 2016 promised to be another great year of a lot...

My first reaction was "oh, please, another one "supergroup"! I must confess, I never cared too much about Kino, Flying Colors and Transatlantic (after their debut).
But a band with Luke Machin...
Wow. Tales and Drama. That's quite ambitious. And scary.... :O
It's all realtive, as that old chap Einstain said.
Imagine you are talking about Yes and Genesis in 1972-3. What would you say about their earlier stuff vs they their later stuff? ;)
I love it: it's full of great tunes!
It looks like the most hated band here is Dream Theater, and the most hated vocalist here is LaBrie.
Or Jon Anderson?
I never read so much crap about those two on any other forums, prog or not....
Bravo! Touche!
Exactly my feeling about The Incident.
Well, with all of those recent EPs that cost as much as offical full length CDs with outtakes or reissues of the same material, Steven is learning how to...
At least AWR name sounds fair.
Not to mention Anderson, Rabin, Wakeman sounds like much more solid and Yes-ish line up than that current circus that called themselves "Yes" with two clowns each of...
For me, there were a number of interesting albums in 2015:
Anekdoten - Until All The Ghosts Are Gone
Dave Kerzner - New World
Native Construct - Quiet World
Seven Steps to the Green Door -...
I bought only one of them, Nil Recurring, and I don't like it.
And NOT because of its length: I agree with all folks here who said 35-40 minutes is the right length, and I hate those modern 70+...
Well, we have kind of "prog mainstream" here, and whatever they do, they will be in top 10 or even top 5 no matter what. They know their audience and their play and record what this audience expect....
King Crimson - Larks Tongues in Aspic pt 1
King Crimson - Bolero-The Peacocks Tale
Mahavishnu Orchestra - Meeting of the Spirits
Alan Parsons Project - I Robot
Focus - Hocus Pocus
ELP - Tocatta...
Suzi Quattro - Your Mamma Won't Like Me :)
I used to like it when I was a kid, so when I bumped into it on CD I bought it. A few songs there are pretty good: melody, arrangement, perfomance, etc....
Yeah, it's like prog heads desperately wants the outside world to admit existence of the music their love :)
I personally don't give rat's shit about Grammy or Hall of Fame nominants. A single...
Yeah, the current "Yes" are indeed a trubute band, no more!
I just paid $65 for Anderson-Ponty Band gig in Berkley Performance Center in Boston. IT was the cheapest ticket available. Plus, I had to pay $40 for 3.5 hours parking. So, my total was $100.
$75...
Very well said.
If Tales or I Robot are not "prog", than I don't know what prog is.
IMHO, APP is "proggier" than a bunch of bands that are "pure prog" according to poplar opinion: Caravan,...
I also hope It'd happen some day! And Alan can remaster them by himself!
Mr. Obscured described the show very well!
Saw them last night in Berkley perfomance Center in Boston. Didn't expect too much, honestly, but they exceeded my expectatin. Very enjoyable show.
The...
The biggest disappointment for me is the fake "Yes" still exists and touring. And the "Yes fans" that still going to their gigs and then polluting prog forums with endless "Yes tour reviews" and hate...
The same to me. I'd just replace "actual Yes" in your post with "fake Yes" with Jon's parrot.
It doesn't happen very often now, but here are a few recent albums that really excited me and that I've still have been listening pretty often:
Headspace - I am Anonymous
Ulver - Ulver with Tromsų...
Good topic!
If you look at other threads here, you will see 16 ( wow!) disks set THRAK. Wow again! Is it just me that founds it a bit funny and ridiculous?
I honestly glad for all those great old...
Very well said, dude! Exactly my thought.
Honestly, if I was a member of a legendary band like Rolling Stones, LZ, PF, Yes, Genesis, Deep Purple or Rush, I'd had felt offended to be inducted along...
This is my favorite Rick's solo album, and I agree with the opinion above that it's better than even most classic Yes album (not all) and light years up from any non-classic period.
I heard it first...
$13 on Amazon, just for trying how this prog classic 5.1 sounds?
What are you cheap guys discussing about?
This is dirt cheap!
This is almost three time cheaper than latest Gilmore's set or any...
I concur, the same for me.
Dude, this is not about quality of music. This is about our age.
Have you been blown away during your first sex in the 70s?
Does sex reach the heights of your early...
Kayne Kardashian ones defiled a piece of King Crimson music we all like.
Are you dreaming about similar glory? :roll
Besides, do you think it is appropriate to mix a piece of art from superb...
Yes singer? I always thought his last name isn't "Davidson".
That later guy is professional parrot cover singer. Next time he will probably cover Michael Jackson or Jay-Z... :oops
This thread about a new jazz-rock "supergroup". I can't see any relationship between this subject and Jon Anderson.
Some people here (actually, quiet a lot) can't live without kicking Jon Anderson...
I recently listened to it after a long break, and wasn't impressed: it sounds quite primitive, straightforward and poppy. I remember I used to like it more. Am I getting older?
Granted, Caravan...
Great news! I was always curious why Octopus wasn't the first GG transferred to 5.1.
I highly recommend this book to all who is interested in jazz-rock/fusion:...
The majority of albums in the list are solid, a few of them are outstanding, some of them are nothing special, in my opinion. Besides, they didn't include some really outstanding albums there, like...
