What have they done?

Savarin was a Sci-Fi writer who made a solo Prog-Rock album, and was in Julian's Treatment.

Of Course, he wasn't allowed to use the Name Julian's Treatment anymore so the solo Album is actually the second Album by them.

I’ve read those Lemmus books and let me tell you, they are heinous! Hardly counts as a “trilogy,” as the third is just a bunch of labored Twilight Zone-knockoff short stories with a flimsy wraparound to try to tie them into the earlier books. I uncovered a period review where the reviewer refused to believe it was a real book, and not a National Lampoon-esque parody.

I've not read those, though I was tempted at one point. I've only read two of his early-90s technothrillers, where an elite NATO squadron of European aviators (plus the obligatory Yank) fly souped-up Tornados with super-AAMs against Russian hardware in extremely far-fetched scenarios, and not just because the whole Cold War background that these kinds of novels depended was fast on its way to the dustbin of history. Okay, the view point was slightly different from the usual genre fare, but mostly those novels were workman-like rehashing of conventions. Looking at his bibliography, Savarin seems to have done that most of his career, following trends and working on old ideas for most of his career.

By the way, I know that English is my second language, but am I really the only one who, having first heard about Waiters on the Dance, thought: "What, a sci-fi concept album about dancing waiters?"

I think Thijs van Leer was part of this...

Yes, and I think the Sylvia on this is the Sylvia from the Focus song.

I believe that's Jan Akkerman on the left.

I'm not sure who it is, but Jan Akkerman was part of this band. I could have posted another video, but that would have been a giveaway, because the name Jan Akkerman was in the description.

A former member of a European prog band wrote this tune for Japanese singer Yoko Katori:

Haha, I knew that has to be written by someone Dutch after a few seconds. Thought that was someone from Earth & Fire,
but Pim Koopman from Kayak wasn't that far away

It is a song from Diesel, which was the group with Pim Koopman.

Don't know this series. Is he a dentist? Then it might be Kenso's guitarist.

I think that Show is running for ages now. A well kown American prog Artist is a Producer (director) of the show

[moecurlythanu]

^ Well, that would be Generally Hospitable.

Sorry, I don't get that..

However that guy takes a great leap to reach Doomsday (with torches to see the infernal (Maybe 7 of them))

[moecurlythanu]

Yeah, it's Mr. X, producer or director or something of GH.

[Progbear]

The only prog artist I know that directs soap operas is Phideaux (Xavier).

[TheH]

Yes Phideaux of course

Haha, I hope Ton made some Money with that one...

It is basicly Kayak with a different singer and a different drummer.

Don't think it really made them money.
