Search - Anderson Wakeman Howe :: Original Members of Yes

Not what I expected

"This album is little more than a collection of tracks by Yes members. There is some Yes music but it is not performed by Yes as a band, rather it is performed by each artists band. I'm not sure that any of the songs have all three artists performing at the same time. Round About is performed by Rick Wakeman and I'm not not sure who is singing but it doesn't sound like Jon Anderson. Magic love is sung by Jon but sounds like a Jon and Vangelis track. Going Going Gone sounds like a left over GTR track. The songs seem to be solo efforts and, as far as I can tell, some were never performed by Yes.



It is an interesting album if you are simply trying to fill out your collection. Don't expect it to sound like Yes. But if you would like to hear how each of these artists sounds in a setting outside of Yes this is a nice collection. The overall recording quality and sound is good. The performances are on par with what you would expect from these musicians."

"Howe and Wakeman were not original members of the band."
