[Yanks2014]

A welcome return. Listening right now to the streaming. Will be buying the MP3 version.

[progeezer]

Huzzah!

Auto-buy!

[emperorken]

Welcome back!

[bobert]

Bought the MP3 version and have to say that I really like it. I am looking forward to when 10T releases the back catalog by this band, who I will admit that while certainly hearing of them I had never owned anything from them before.
As I said this new one is very good.

[Garden Dreamer]

WOW, great news!! I'm glad to see Glenn on board, I thought I read a few years back that he wasn't in the band any longer and they were looking for a new vocalist.

He hasn't been for a ride through the Yes mill yet.

[Splicer]

Just listened to the stream and have downloaded the lossless version.

[Garden Dreamer]

Physical CD for me. I still don't know what all those other options mean (lossless, FLAC, MP3, WAV, blahblahblah).

[JKL2000]

Me too! I'm a 90 year old woman and I just want to use my money to purchase an Iluvatar Compact Disk.

Make that a high fidelity, stereo compact disc, sonny!! You young whippersnappers and your confounded digital downloads!

I could be wrong on this, so don’t take this as gospel, but I think I remember someone telling me that this material was recorded before Glenn left the band. When they played ProgDay last, they had a new vocalist, but apparently he is not on this album. There are at least some members of the band that are members of this forum, so maybe they can shine more of a light on what the situation is.

[Digital_Man]

^Yeah Steve I heard the same thing. I'm pretty sure based on what I heard(probably on here) that Glenn is on the latest album but no longer in the band. I see no reason why that information would be wrong.

[Prog_nosticator]

^^ Yes, true. The new singer is Jeff Sirody . He joined up in 2012. I must say it is rather difficult to get a singer interested in trying out music they had never heard and are not being offered a paycheck . But this guy loved the existing tunes after giving them a listen. We played just 4 shows with him and he seems to have been well received. There are some raw vids on youtube from those gigs.

If you are using PC/Mac browser, then you should see a "play" button icon to the left of each song title here:

However, we only stream Flash audio for security reasons. Unfortunately, that file type is not supported by IOS. It's the same issue that prevents them playing Flash video on YouTube.

Great news. This was in the works for so long I've forgotten about it. Hope to maybe be able to catch a show if they come up to the Pennsylvania area.

[rickawakeman]

The band is a little too prolific for my wallet.

Apple says:
Symantec recently highlighted Flash for having one of the worst security records in 2009. We also know first hand that Flash is the number one reason Macs crash. We have been working with Adobe to fix these problems, but they have persisted for several years now. We don’t want to reduce the reliability and security of our iPhones, iPods and iPads by adding Flash.

In addition, Flash has not performed well on mobile devices. We have routinely asked Adobe to show us Flash performing well on a mobile device, any mobile device, for a few years now. We have never seen it. Adobe publicly said that Flash would ship on a smartphone in early 2009, then the second half of 2009, then the first half of 2010, and now they say the second half of 2010. We think it will eventually ship, but we’re glad we didn’t hold our breath. Who knows how it will perform?

Fourth, there’s battery life.

To achieve long battery life when playing video, mobile devices must decode the video in hardware; decoding it in software uses too much power. Many of the chips used in modern mobile devices contain a decoder called H.264 – an industry standard that is used in every Blu-ray DVD player and has been adopted by Apple, Google (YouTube), Vimeo, Netflix and many other companies.

Although Flash has recently added support for H.264, the video on almost all Flash websites currently requires an older generation decoder that is not implemented in mobile chips and must be run in software. The difference is striking: on an iPhone, for example, H.264 videos play for up to 10 hours, while videos decoded in software play for less than 5 hours before the battery is fully drained.

When websites re-encode their videos using H.264, they can offer them without using Flash at all. They play perfectly in browsers like Apple’s Safari and Google’s Chrome without any plugins whatsoever, and look great on iPhones, iPods and iPads.

Too early to rate the new one yet, but A Story Two Days Wide was good and Children even better. Check them out.

I'd be careful if I were you, Sherry Noland is very defensive in regard to Flash

Truth is that flash is not supported by the mobile universe and is not secure because the need to execute code from a download. It can Trojaned in the receiving processor.
