Paul,

 

I heard a rumour that Yes were going to ask her to replace Rick Wakeman but she was too busy touring so had to pull the pin.....

 

Such a pity!

@progladyte only have 24 albums but 11 of those have between 1 - 17 albums of the artist, plus only a meagre 7 other artists not listed, not extensive but agood mix in a small collection of almost 500 odd CD's and 400 odd albums, gave my stepson about 500 albums to add to his collection, some listened to once or not played in years

@progladyte listened to the Sylvan album one to zero, a zero from me, you know when it's right for you, and not this time, will keep listening

 

They are very highly rated wen so give each album a proper amount of time to sink in. First spins often don't work for me as well but repeated plays helps it all unfold.

BTW, following on from the post about Janos Varga Project, if anyone is keen to score any of the bands CDs, they can be found at Synphonic.com - Ask Greg Walker - nice guy with plenty of good stock.


I was listening to Al Di Meola when I saw the post 

Now I’m streaming Janos Varga

White Moth Black Butterfly (WMBB) is the 'experimental' creation of UK singer / songwriter Daniel Tompkins (TesseracT, Skyharbor, In Colour) and Keshav Dhar (Skyharbor)

 

With influences stemming from the likes of Massive Attack, Enigma, and Sigur Ros this cross continent studio based project emanates huge cinematic soundscapes, classical and electronic music nested with powerful vocals.

 

White Moth Black Butterfly features a team of songwriters & producers based worldwide, all at the height of their own scenes. Collaborating with Tompkins are New-Delhi based Skyharbor songwriter and producer Keshav Dhar; US based producer and string arranger Randy Slaugh who has previously worked with the likes of Devin Townsend, Architects & Periphery, drummer Mac Christensen and the line up is completed by UK singer & lyricist Jordan Bethany (Turner)

 

Latest album is called "The Cost Of Dreaming"

OK, I ask, is Lazy by Deep Purple prog? Space Trucking for that matter too?

I think so.

I think Lazy is more blues based than prog. Space Truckin - proggy yes

Two of my favourite albums have been remastered at Abbey Road studios, Queensryche’s Empire and Operation Mindcrime, released on 22/06/21. I just preordered them, hoping the remaster will better the originals which are pretty good anyway.

I think so.

They were one of the first bands designated as ‘progressive rock’, along with the early VERTIGO bands and the likes ofManfred Manns’ Earth Band, May Blitz, Juicy Lucy etc. so, discernible blues influences, but from ‘ progressive ‘ came ‘ prog ‘.
