Who is he? I never heard of him before. What genre?

Laura he is an American Jazz guitarist. But this is not your fathers Jazz.
This album is like Alan Parsons Project without the vocals.

I would never have thought that Bill. Now that you mention it, I can hear the similarity.

Mr. Decal I can't wait to hear what you think of the John Mayall LP you have on order. I've had the CD
ever since it was released and I will probably buy it myself. I had the the chance to buy an old Decca LP
of it but the condition was poor and that I passed it up.

I'm a lucky man this holiday season

My wife took my kids to our local used vinyl shop and each of them picked me up a Christmas gift . . . She thought it would be interesting to see what they selected without any help .... and I think they did quite well

My 11 year old son bought without hesitation:

Ten Years After – Hear Me Calling Decca – 6.28364 DT, 2 LP, Compilation, Germany, 1976

My fiddle playing son gave me this:

Pat Metheny Group – Travels ECM Records 1-23791 US 1983

My guitar playing son gave me this:

John Fahey – Christmas Guitar - Volume One Varrick Records VR-002 US 1982

and My mandolin playing daughter gave me this:

Tracy Nelson & Mother Earth - Poor Man's Paradise Columbia KC 31759 US 1973

I think i got real lucky on this one, I found out my daughter picked this one because of the dog in the picture (she is a dog lover)

yet the lp is some great blues/folk and Tracy Nelson sings well!

I like Alan Parsons, but this doesn't do it for me. Way, way too jazzy.

Never hear this... first listen just now via youtube...

indeed!

Interesting comment on that page... "trillions of brain cells in the seventies glowed white hot and hyperwarped out of heads and into deep space because of this music, and joined in a giant psycho-gelatinous being with self awareness and a staggering plan for the universe and one of these days, watch out."

I have a LP from '83 called Hearing Solar Winds by David Hykes and The Harmonic Choir. These guys can "sing" 3 to 5 notes simultaneously and harmonize with eerie effect, like Tibetan monks.

Just gave this a listen on YT via the links and that stuff is way cool. Definitely an album I wouldn't mind checking out.

Paul, Thoughts?

I consider Wayner to be a resident Yes expert. I was more into the forgettable 80's one hit wonders and I was surprised to read that it came out in 83. Is it possible that this album is nearly 30 years old???

Anyway, I read the liner notes and all of the songs are written collaboratively. Previously Anderson was the mainstay, even though each wrote songs on Fragile. So the first thing that struck me was that some of the lyrics appeared to make sense (at least I could understand them) unlike the typical cryptic Yes fare. Musicianship is excellent.

Bottom line, I dunno when I will spin it again but I'm glad I have it. It was part of a small freebie collection, it's in good shape and is well recorded and the "price was right!"
