Magma - Triton Zünd Zëlëkt II
Genesis - Seconds Out
Now - Spheres
Not the most original group, but sort of like a neo-prog version of Yes which is pretty cool. I kinda like these guys.

A tribute to Keith Emerson & Greg Lake
To be fair, compared to the Keith Emerson tribute, this one rates as average and not more than that. Listening to this, after hearing the Keith Emerson tribute concert, is a bit of a disappointment.
Yes, it has some great names, like: Todd Rundgren, Brian Auger, Derek Sherinian, David Sancious, Larry Fast, Thijs van Leer, Patrick Moraz, Sonja Kristina, Steve Porcaro, Geoff Downes, Arthur Brown and Jordan Rudess.
Besides it has 2 sons of Keith Emerson, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (on the bonus-track).
It has Jon Davidson, Billy Sherwood and Jay Schellen (haven't they all been involved in trying to keep Yes alive (or on life-support)?)
And it has some names that don't ring any bells for me, like: Leslie Hunt, John Wesley and Martin Turner (wasn't he a member of Wishbone Ash?)
It is also rather short, less than 50 minutes.
Been on a Mats/Morgan binge today... magic!
