    Hackett is perfectly capable of spotting talent all by himself. I am pretty sure he is on top of all the talent out there in progland :-).

    True, and I imagine he spent time with him on multiple cruises.

    I see it mentions that Anderson is currently playing with the Anderson/Ponty Band, but doesn't mention ARW.

    Also, after seeing the Igor entry, I thought about how I'd heard people mention some improprieties allegedly perpetrated by him, but I never knew any details. So I Googled it and found this crack VH-1 journalism, old news to all of you I'm sure:

    What was the outcome of this, and what the hell was he thinking, or taking? Crazy.

    That he was a rock star, and that made him so sexy he could get away with anything. Even being a Wild And Crazy Guy. (It also sounds like he might have been absolutely hammered.) Same as Harvey Weinstein or Roger Ailes being The Biggest Of Big Shots, which also made them so sexy they could get away with anything.

    Not that any of that is or ever was true.

    His behaviour was disgraceful and the band were right to get rid.

    Interesting that the old article thinks there's something abnormal about not hearing of sexual assaults by members of progressive rock bands.

    This is sort of like a Flower Kings line-up, with three of them having been in that band. Brislin I thought was very good during his brief time in Yes.

    Wait, What part are we talking about, Igor, Harvey or Ailes? I thought the book was pretty much closed on all three.

    Ugh, thanks for that. Another snarky "music journalist" from the days of asshole journalism making shit remarks about prog. Whatever.

    I always thought they fired Igor right then and there. Did they? If so, who did they replace him with for the rest of the tour?

    Actually, the article says "Until now, though, no one has ever heard of an sexual assault from a member of a progressive rock band." So, no, they don't think it's normal to hear about assaults from prog musicians.

    It's a shame about Igor -- I thought his chops were decent on "The Ladder" -- but yeah, that behavior was offensive to the extreme.

    Baribrotzer meant that the idea that "they were so sexy" was untrue.

    That's what I meant- maybe it got lost in translation. Snark/disbelief about prog musicians not going around and sexually assaulting people. Not an article which has aged very well, I think.

    This suggests he saw out the tour after his arrest, but there were only 8 dates left at that point. Then he was gone. Brislin came in later that year.

    It just occurs to me that what I meant wasn't obvious, and could be taken as exactly the opposite of what I intended.

    What I meant was none of them were "so sexy they could get away with anything", whether through being a rock star, or being powerful. The women certainly didn't think so, although Ailes and Weinstein may have bought and/or intimidated them into silence. For that matter, considering the time in which Igor did it, his big mistake may have been choosing wildly inappropriate women to be obnoxious to: security guards who weren't star-struck fans, whose job involved not putting up with crap from men, and who might have been in a better position to report him than most.

    Yes, he obviously knows all about everything and vice-versa when it comes to progland. If anyone does, he would be the one. He and perhaps Wakeman.

    That's a damned shame. I don't think it can be understated what Bodin brings to Flower Kings records. His composition (especially when it comes to variations on themes) and arrangement skills are a large part of what you're hearing.

    Well, I know on the early albums, Roine had complete songs (arrangements and all) for the band to play over. He said a lot of the original sequencer stuff that he used to fill in parts would actually remain on the finished album. I think he gave Bodin writing credits where Bodin actually wrote something. However, from talking to band members it does sound like Bodin's use of sounds would often change the character of songs that Roine put together, so he certainly had a big impact. But from what Roine and other have said, the songs and arrangements were basically complete when the other members added their parts. From Unfold on though, I think things were done more cooperatively.

    Whatever the process was, it certainly helped create some of my favorite music ever recorded.

    Jan Schellen and Dylan Howe for that matter, I'm surprised at you Henry that you missed those two - since you are the YES curator!

    Heaven & Earth is missing too. Has it been wiped from YES history? Or did YES history end in 2013 when that page was last updated...?

    It's interesting how every thread here eventually turns into a Yes thread.
