fantastic band. though I thought "relayer" badly recorded; the production was
superb, and moraz' contribution so distinctive and yet never overstated.
still watching wakeman's madcap aspel theme/white rock alternate career
path..... and the poor bastard birotron....
I stayed with yes until the buggles thing; after "wondrous.." had been on top
of the pops, and "whale" also bothered the charts, that was more than a
teenager could tolerate. this was up north, remember, where thin lizzy and
raven ruled the scene. also by then, we'd seen trevor rabin in an
unfavourable light supporting a triumphant hillage band, talented though he
obviously is.
and since then? "I called it 'onion', because it made me cry." but rick's
stand-up-hosting sense of humour prevails and it's once more into battle. any
english gigs planned?
