Following the meltdown of the original King Crimson lineup, Ian McDonald and Michael Giles brought brother Peter Giles back, which helps to account, in some ways, for the resemblance of this album to the 1968 Giles, Giles & Fripp recordings — though the songs here tend to go on at some length, combining prog rock’s traits of length and multiple sections with some of the lighter feel of the GG&F days.

Inspired by the artwork of Roger Dean and the writings of Ver Stanley Alder, Jon Anderson developed an entire story around the idea of an interstellar exodus from Sunhillow, writing this album around the narrative (named for the spaceship’s architect, Olias). The idea may seem overly ambitious, but Anderson fills the record with enough magical moments to delight fans of Yes’ mystic side Continue reading “Jon Anderson – Olias Of Sunhillow (1976) [2014, Audio Fidelity Remastered, CD-Layer + Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Genesis – Discography (1969-2014)

Genesis - Discography (1969-2014)

Genesis started life as a progressive rock band, in the manner of Yes and King Crimson, before a series of membership changes brought about a transformation in their sound, into one of the most successful pop/rock bands of the 1980s and 1990s. In addition, the group has provided a launching pad for the superstardom of members Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins, and star solo careers for members Tony Banks, Michael Rutherford, and Steve Hackett.

Kansas – Discography (1974 – 2016)

Kansas - Discography (1974 - 2016)

Fusing the complexity of British prog rock with an American heartland sound representative of their name, Kansas were among the most popular bands of the late ’70s, with many of their hits becoming staples of AOR radio playlists. Formed in Topeka in 1970, the founding members of the group — guitarist Kerry Livgren, bassist Dave Hope, and drummer Phil Ehart — first played together while in high school; with the 1971 addition of classically trained violinist Robbie Steinhardt, they changed their name to White Clover, reverting back to the Kansas moniker for good upon the 1972 arrivals of vocalist/keyboardist Steve Walsh and guitarist Richard Williams.

Steve Hackett – Wolflight (2015) [Deluxe Edition, CD + Blu-Ray + Hi-Res]

Steve Hackett - Wolflight (2015) [Deluxe Edition, CD + Blu-Ray + Hi-Res]

The concept of this album is about the relation between human and the Wolf. Also important is the hours before dawn, because it’s the time that the wolf are hunting and that Steve Hackett like to write his songs. It’s a unique time to let things comes naturally without any distractions. Steve has met some real wolves and played with them even if the cover could look digitally made.

Blu-ray plus bonus CD.

YES – Fragile (1971) [2011, Japan, CD-Layer & Hi-Res SACD Rip]

YES - Fragile (1971) [2011, Japan, CD-Layer & Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Fragile is the fourth studio album by the English rock band Yes, released in November 1971 by Atlantic Records. After touring in support of their previous album, The Yes Album (1971), the band entered rehearsals in London in preparation for their next studio album.

A stunning self-reinvention by a band that many had given up for dead, 90125 is the album that introduced a whole new generation of listeners to Yes. Begun as Cinema, a new band by Chris Squire and Alan White, the project grew to include the slick production of Trevor Horn, the new blood (and distinctly ’80s guitar sound) of Trevor Rabin, and eventually the trademark vocals of returning founder Jon Anderson.

Styx kept themselves busy in the 21st century, launching a tour like clockwork every year, but they abandoned recording new material after 2003’s Cyclorama. Arriving 14 years after that record, The Mission announces Styx’s return in a grand fashion. Although The Mission has its mind on the future — it’s designed as a concept album about a mission to Mars in the year 2033 — the sound is an unapologetic throwback to the band’s late-’70s prime.
