Back in the late '90s I stumbled across the album A GRANDER VISION by a band called Relayer. Of course as a big YES fan the band name caught my eye. The song titles and lengths made me pick it up unheard. And I really loved it. I went on to get a couple more albums by this band, and I must say I became quite a fan. I recently thought about them and broke the albums out for a few spins, and I have to say I still really enjoy them and I'm kind of surprised that they never got more exposure among the late '90s/early '00s prog crowd. In my opinion the singer and all musicians are excellent, the arrangements are dynamic and interesting, the melodies memorable and often beautiful. So I just thought I'd bring them up and see if there are any other fans around here. Also, any thoughts on why they never got more attention? I never heard of them playing a festival or signing with a label, although I could very well be mistaken on one or both of those counts.
