"To me it's like breathing," he says. "I wake up in the morning, go into the studio and I can breathe. I've got about six or seven albums lined up for the next 10 years. I just have to get them...

This exactly. We are lucky that the Strawbs still want to play and record! If only for a few other favorite bands of mine.

I think the magic of Yes music was chemistry between Jon, Steve, Chris and to some extent Rick. Chris is gone. Jon and Steve don't write together anymore and Rick seems happy to do what he does. ...

I have only heard small bits of this album and that was organ or synths. Is there any piano? I like Wakemans piano playing but not his synths so much.

I just downloaded the new Album "Brave New World". It is very, very good. I would highly recommend giving it a listen on Bandcamp. I am rarely excited these days by new "Prog" albums. I have...

Loved the first album. I have pre-ordered the second. "Brave New World" is being released on my birthday so that's kinda cool.

Interesting interview. I really like the song John wrote. I wish the Moodies could come back for another album. Unlikely I suppose.

Purchased "Chasing Light" on Bandcamp and I am really loving it. As noted above so many Prog bands can't seem to do great vocals. You guys do! I love the melodies. I'm really looking forward to ...

Listening to Chasing Light on Bandcamp right now. Wow! I love it. Best thing I have heard in a long time.

I like it. Quite a bit in fact. Could have been a Yes song with vocals.

I really like this album. The music is very melodic and very pleasant to listen to. I'm going to check out the previous album as well.

Oh I really like this. The songs sound like they know where they are going rather than flailing about. I'm definitely going to get this. To my ears it sounds so much of the seventies and I mean...

I love these guys and wish them the best for their tour. I would really like something new, an EP or something yet I know it won't happen. This is I'm sure their final hurrah. I look forward to...

I am enjoying this album a lot. Pendragon for me has been a mixed lot. Yes it has often been derivative and occasionally very annoying vocals and lately the albums have been too heavy for my taste....

My Juliette was a very good song. I wish Justin would get together with John Lodge and do another "Blue Jays" album. I think together they still have it.

My favorite Science Fiction author Alastair Reynolds posted a link to bandcamp of this band and their new album "Nostalgia For Infinity". Alastair's site is http://approachingpavonis.blogspot.com/ ,...

Yes, why all the negativity? If you don't want to go, don't go. I just wish I could see them here in the States.

I suppose thats true. Although I have found a few. "The Birds" by Elbow still sends shivers up my spine, and "Super Symmetry" by Arcade Fire is as enjoyable to me
as my favorites from the...

That is kind of my reaction. I've never really warmed up to Neo-Prog or even what is just called Prog now-a-days. Maybe I just liked Yes and Genesis back in the day. A few others Camel, Pink...

Sadly I see where Joe Payne died January 24th of this year.

I always thought "Open The Door" would have been the backbone of a great Supertramp album. In fact I enjoy it as much of any of Supertramps releases. I really wish he would do another album.

Joe Payne's vocals on 'Capture Light' are remarkable. I see Oliver Wakeman adds his very tasteful keyboards. I'm going to check out the John Holden recordings further. I quite like what I have...

Ah, looks like mainly demos and live tracks. Most of the demos were later recorded by the band and either made it to an album or included on "The best and the rest of", although it looks like one...

Just dug out my Bebop Deluxe. Turns out I had a box set "Futurist Manifesto" that contains all five studio albums on four discs with generous bonus tracks and a fifth CD of unreleased material. ...

^^
Nice tune. I'm glad you brought up Bebop Deluxe. I've been meaning to dig out the 4 CDS that I have and have a re-listen. I've also been meaning to look
into Bill Nelson and the music he made...

Don't tell us what to do or think. If you think they are incapable of writing something equal to their output of their youth, you are simply an ageist. It's not wether they can, it's more whether...

LOL! That was my exact reaction. I love these guys and I know it won't happen but it would be cool if each of them could bring new material and record a swan song album. You would think Gabriel...

Mojo - March 2020 has an article of the making of "Lamb Lies Down on Broadway". They briefly mention Summer 2020 will see the release of a new, rebooted bells and whistles edition of the Lamb. But...

Thanks for post Steve983. I'm really loving this song.

Speaking of favorites. Can you tell me aside from the two you mentioned what other albums Rick has that are worth pursuing? I love Rick but sometimes find his albums too cloying or sometimes...

I didn't really get into the 3Mustaphas too much. But Collin has two other excellent albums. His latest "At Wild End" and "In the Meantime". Of the two "At Wild End" is my favorite. He even...

Probably my most unexpected and pleasant surprise was Collin Bass's "An Outcast of the Islands". Collin is the bass player for Camel. I have an emotional response to Collins songs particularly...

Thanks SunRunner2, I'll check it out. I wonder why they didn't do more. Seems like a good match for both of them.

I think the only album I have from these two is "The friends of Mr. Cairo" which I liked a lot. It's possible that I picked up another of their releases and just found it not to my taste and forgot...

I am sorry to see them disband. I really liked their first two albums but was not that fond of "Vier". Hope to hear more from them in their new incarnations.

Thanks for posting this. What a nice surprise. I'm ashamed to say that I have not heard of this band. I'm definitely going to check them out.

I agree 100%. Most prog groups have horrible vocals. Or if not horrible then boring or irritating.

Another by Al Stewart. Gives me the chills.

I am just listening to their latest album "Foreign Land" and I am very impressed. It almost sounds as if it was recorded back in the early seventies. The vocals are very engaging and the music...

I'm loving this release. To me it is better than anything on "Heaven and Earth". Not classic Yes but very, very good. I really like Steve Howe's playing.

Done.

Received "1000 Hands" in the mail about two weeks ago and put it aside as I was going on vacation. Today I picked it up and put it in my CD player. I will say that it is much better than I had...

For some reason "Road of Bones" slipped by me. I remember at the time listening to one song that didn't grab me and I guess I simply went on. Today I listened to more of it on Youtube and I really...

Mind Blowing. Sacred. Sends chills up and down my spine.

for soundtracks coming out. Any opinions on the songs. I don't think I have...
