Hello all knowledgeable ones !

I actually like this treatment of the song better. I listen to it quite a bit ! (I edited it to listen to, without the Ed Sullivan and the Beatlemania screams). Sounds like a cross between Things We...
Recently visited Tirana, Albania and found myself wondering if the country had ever produced any Prog that members here would know about ? If so, I'd like to check it out.
The chords in this song are "out there", and the musicians were top notch.
I have a whole new appreciation for Roger Pope,.. and James Newton Howard, well.. he's James Newton Howard !
Enjoy ...
Thought some of you might enjoy this release (free on Bandcamp). Done as a reaction video.. 'cause bizarrely, that where the Prog resides these days (YouTube-wise)
Enjoy !

I meant to respond to this also Scrotum Scissor.. I think this is right to some degree - on the...
Something I realized after the post.. I remember hearing him say his musical foundation was coming from the standpoint of orchestration, as opposed to a pop group, rock etc. He said so in an...
Hello PE'ers..
I have been thinking about this subject some, and wondered what people out there think. I always loved his production style and was very influenced by it. Some of the magic Prog...
Thank you Steve,... I enjoyed making this. Now I just need someone to sing it!
Okay,.. I have to break the trend. I would love to see a classic 70s YES show this way (all of the members, even the living ones.. holograms in their prime, with the original props etc). Especially...
I have always loved Renaissance, and have wanted to do something like this for a long time. I was able to grab Terry Sullivan's Kick, Snare and Tom Tom sound samples from a brief solo he performed in...
Thank you hFx That explains something I think I have noticed in the past with a couple of projects. I thought it must be software related (have ended up chopping tiny little bits here and there...
Hello,...
I am in the process of re-recording this song, and I would prefer to have live drums. I can do everything else (except for Annie's vocal obviously). I know a lot of drummers these...
Hey,.. that's really great !! Wonderful concept and it looks terrific ! (I like the blue a lot).
I've had this acoustic guitar composition for a while, and decided to orchestrate it with free VSTs I found. All of them can be found on www.vst4free.com
Sonatina: Flute (flute, alto flute,...
Thanks for the head's up insidious meme... that was cool. Partridge still seems to have a lot of energy despite his advancing years - hope i get to see the whole thing sometime !
Uggggghhhh !!!! I marked this to go back and watch it and they took it down! It was just a trailer.... what's the big deal? Anyone know where I can see it ? Thank you :)
Hello PE'rs... I recently bought a piece of gear (a Midi Router) from California. It needed repair... and I repaired it. What intrigued me afterwards were the Patch names recorded within the unit....
Honestly,... was there anything more late 60's cool than the opening to the TV series Mannix? Thanks for the memories Mr Connors (aka: Kreker J. Ohanian).
Bought my Bandcamp copy last night... really enjoying it. In addition to the great compositions, this is the best example of realistic sounding orchestration I've heard. There is depth, ..and a lot...
This
I have met quite a few Russians and loved them all (not to mention being crazy about Prokofiev and Rachmaninov). And not to get too political,... but it seems to me that the pendulum is...
Just listened to "Goes to Eleven"... it's been a long time since I enjoyed a piece in this way. In places it made me think of Jeff Beck's Diamond Dust off of Blow by Blow (composition and...
Real quick reply before bed.... man I just love that guitar Howe does in Release, Release after the breakdown where it's just drums. Such a country-fried, bold and rude tone in a WAYY rockin' tune....
Enjoyed your post ProgArtist... If you look on youtube there are others that see Nevermore as a transcendent piece of music as well (so I'm not crazy haha)... but it is funny how we find overlaps...
I miss everything/everyone really... Bruford more than most. I have to say though... seeing this young band someone posted from Norway is really lifting my spirits (Umpfel). This kid *is* a young...
One thing I've never known about the And Then There Were Three cover. Is that the band members on there... or just some Hipgnosis peeps? What are they doing? haha
This was freakin' hilarious! Thanks for this. Personally, I don't think even this delivery method would quell the unrest though (I will miss this thread when all has been delivered. It's been fun :)
A Song For All Seasons is my favorite Renaissance album,... and the title track is one of my 3 favorite songs (the other two are Nevermore by UK and Awaken by Yes). I personally always liked the...
Don't know much about Mose... except that I freaked out over the song "Ain't Got Nothin But the Blues" as done by Robben Ford. I am positive his work would be worth looking into. Any recommendations...
I wasn't aware of this,... but I think if she apologizes for those two albums then she sorta oughta apologize for the "Annie Haslam" album that followed. In spite of having some *names* involved...
Not at the show in Kent, Ohio. Just the main attraction
I wondered how that worked. That makes complete sense, because at one point Dunford released "The Other Woman" under the name of Renaissance... he would have had to own the brand to do that. Camp...
No, they didn't play it. I would have really liked that... you're lucky! :)
Are you saying that Jon Camp wants his old job back? This is news to me... how do you know this?
I don't know why I think this,... but I have suspected for some time that Jon Camp and Annie H....
I will likely write more... but wanted to get this posted. The song list that they played (in order):
Prologue
Carpet of the Sun
Grandine il Vento
Symphony of Light
Sounds of the Sea...
I've been a big fan for over 30 years... and this will be the first time I've seen them. I'll be missing John Tout and Michael Dunford tonight, though I know the current guys are all pros. I even...
Thanks for these insights guys!,... I think you've more or less sorted it out for me (appreciated). That should be enough info that I can come close enough to reproducing it. And mentioning Steven...
Seeking analysis of the snare sound on this Gerry Rafferty karaoke version. I want to use a sound like this in a song of mine and I was wondering what we've got here. I think I hear wood. Not tuned...
Answering from a different direction.... psychology. I don't feel I have the emotional reserves that I used to have (53 now). It seems unnatural to me now that I gave so much of my emotion to music...
I have been a hard core Renaissance fan since 1981. After all of these years I'll be going to see A. Haslam sing live for the first time,.. at the Kent Stage in Kent, Ohio not far from my home. My...
Blows me away,... so crazy good !
I'm the odd CTS fan I guess,... because I liked Safety in Numbers best and the vocals on it best also (I think the drummer sang that album). I like his voice better than Polumbo's (but then again I...
As it relates to controversies and taking sides where Yes is concerned... the fact that Rick Wakeman is consistently in Jon's camp gives Jon's side of things credibility in my eyes. I would trust...
I am completely late to this party (er, bloodbath judging from the comments). I have been listening to this release for the 1st time today and I am really liking it. Sheesh,... what's not to like...
Phil's reply to all of the naysayers (via Joni Mitchell)...

Ps: I haven't even told any of my road stories yet, but I'll menton this one. The lesbian that fronted the 80's band I was in had a significant advantage over me as to what material the band played,...
Earlier I mentioned misandry saying it was another subject entirely... but with the above comment you make it relevant. If someone made the female version of the quoted comment... you'd be crying...
So's misandry... but that's another subject entirely
I have enjoyed Enid's stories and would like to get around to contributing my own at some point...
For now I would just make an observation. I once saw a quote from Frank Zappa that said something...
I'm late to the party on this thread,... but my answer: No, it benefits from it !
Shrug,... can't really support this line of thinking. Taking all of the reverb off of the production would have made it punchier also,... but all of these oddball production values were key for...
Hey everybody,... thanks for responding. I recorded a sample of Chris's bass from that song and I wanted to label it correctly. Appreciated.
An envelope filter makes for a kind of "wah" sound...
I seem to recall that Chris Squire lists all of the different basses he plays on the various songs on Tormato in the liner notes. Can someone please tell me which bass he used on "Release, Release" ?...
Great album for sure,... definitely a game changer. It has always fascinated me that (imo) "Got to Get You Into My Life" was such an accurate preview of what Paul would be doing ten years later. This...
Yes,... I went back and checked. That's the right place. Upon closer listening I'm thinking it's probably a person,... it'd be interesting to know who did it.
I was thinking about this, and thought "hey,.. I guess I'll post and see if anyone knows". Back in the day a musician buddy and I speculated whether this was an actual voice,... or some synth...
This song might be my favorite piano performance by John Tout. The vocal really doesn't bother me anyway.... but if you can tune it out you will hear an amazing piece of music going on there. Song...
S. Hackett's - Spectral Mornings... ..oh wait, hold on a minute! :)
No one has loved E. Jobson over the years more than I, but honestly the title of this thread could very easily be a hilarious joke (come to think of it, April 1st is very near). That being said,......
I hold him in very high esteem. It was definitely a blow to me when he passed away. I think there are two reasons for this. First,... he wasn't a synth pioneer and most of the synth playing he did...
