After me whining for the last three issues about our lack of a FAQL and index, Jeff Hunnicutt comes through with a rough version of an index, and Cathy Leak (remember her? :-]) volunteers to convert it to index form and compile a FAQL!! Just in case some of you aren't sure what a FAQL is, it stands for Frequently Asked Questions List and is a good thing to have around on a mailing list. This way newcomers don't have to post questions that may have been answered in the past. I'm not sure what the ETA is for either the FAQL or the index, but I think by mid April we'll have working copies of both. Now on to administrivia: The last mailing was a bit screwy seeing how our local subnet got rewired midstream. Thus, many of you got two copies of the last newsletter. Sorry 'bout that! I'll pay more attention to network downtime in the future. Also, my friends in the UK may be getting a bit upset...outgoing mail from this site routes through a machine that seems to be perpetually down. I'm looking for re-routing options, but the last time I tried this I ended up sending a bounce message to a dozen people! Ah yes, the trials and tribulations of being a list manager...please bear with me. If you've missed the last issue due to this problem, please use the archive or ftp site to get the newsletter. A quick note to people with mail quotas: please don't let your accounts get full!! When the mail bounces I don't know whether you've stopped using your account or it's just temporarily full. With spring break and summer vacation coming up, make sure you drop me a line if you'll be off the net for more than a couple of weeks so I can temporarily remove you from the mailing list. It's much easier to add/remove people than deal with tons of bounced mail. In case some of you didn't get the small note I sent around right after the last issue, please don't correspond via email with Doug Gottlieb. Doug edits Yes Magazine, but can only access the net through Compuserve. Compuserve tends to charge ridiculous amounts of money for email (per message!) and storage, so please write him a "real" (physical) letter. He'll be more than happy to send you info about Yes Mag.

Aqua?? Steve Howe?? Date: 13 Mar 92 20:01:48 GMT Hi all! A friend of mine who gets the ELP magazine 'Fanzine for the Common man' said that the between-issue flyer(flier ? sp?) had some info: Greg lake and Geoff Downes had an aborted 1990 'Tiger' band .. some of the songs from it will be on the new Asia album Aqua. And it says that Greg sings on some of the new Asia songs! More importantly, he called simmonds import CD company to verify when the album is released; it is *already* available for Japanese import as of March 10, according to Simmons, so my friend ordered it. The really interesting thing is that the simmons computer lists the new album as: ASIA: Aqua w/Steve Howe !!!!!!!!!! (exclamations are mine :) ) Will steve be on the ASIA album as guest or member? Anyone know? Id like to know! Let us all know and ill post again if i get more info! Lewis Beard lewis@tacky.cs.olemiss.edu [ I was surprised to hear on Carl Palmer say on Rockline that Asia was still together. I'd figured they'd bury the band with ELP back in business and Wetton working on a solo album. - Mike ] * * * * * * * * * * THE ANSWERS REVEALED: ===================== Date: Tue, 3 Mar 92 10:37:52 EST From: Bobby Dredd Gee, I guess it is about dolphins.

The song was called 'Whatever you believe' and it was written by a British artist called Mike Batt, who is now using the song in his London Musical 'The Hunting of the Snark' as the final number.(he was also responsible for the theme music to the kids animation classic 'The Wombles', who, for the sake of trivia, were supposed to have lived in Wimbledon, my native town!!!(and no I don't play tennis thank you very much) Anyway, the song was:- 'Whatever you believe' (Mike Batt) performed by Mike Batt, Jon Anderson, and Steve Harley Check it out, if you can ; it's a great track.

Most recently, the violin professor got me to tape off three songs (I picked "I've Seen All Good People", "Does It Really Happen?", and "Hold On") for him to use in his music appreciation class as an example of modern versions of classical music ideas. He intends to base a whole hour-long lecture on it. Next week, a paper due on ontological shifts in "Astral Traveller" for English 101... A classic rock station in Nashville (104.5 "the Fox") is using bits of "Run With The Fox" in their station promos. Also, I have heard the first part of "I Miss You Now" from Trevor's _Can't Look Away_ album on at least five different radio commercials on Nashville stations in the last two months. More later.... * * * * * * * * * * TO BE OVER, OR NOT TO BE OVER: ============================= From: ex.heurikon.com!daves%heurikon.UUCP@cs.wisc.edu (Dave Scidmore) Date: Tue, 3 Mar 92 13:03:16 CST >> If anybody out there can possibly tell me what is being said >> (mumbled) at the end of _to be over_ I would be extremely grateful... > >I remember reading in Hedges' Yes biography that nothing is being said >there; it actually is quite similar to speaking in tongues! They just >made whatever sounds with their mouths they wanted to. I had an occasion to ask Jon Anderson what the lyrics were at one time and he paused for a second as if he didn't know what to say and then answered "just some good vibes." Which leads me to believe that he is either a confirmed space cadet, or he didn't remember, or as the biography indicates there were no real lyrics. Thinking back on his rather unusual reaction to the question, it would have been what I would expect if there really were no lyrics and he didn't quite know how to explain that in a few words. >In answer to the person in 'Notes from the Edge' 32 , I think that the lyrics >of the choral part at the end of 'To be Over' are: > >Sound relayer, sound relayer, sound relayer to sound >Sound relayer, sound relayer, to the sun chase. > >I could be wrong, but I am pretty certain that's what is sung. An old friend of mine used to swears that they lyrics contain the phrase "sunny day, sun the Ra" and I think the last line sounds something like "tails of tears." But who will ever know. -- Dave Scidmore +++ +++ +++ +++ date: Wed, 04 Mar 92 11:58:36 -0500 From: Gregory Silvus Regarding the mumbles at the end of _To_Be_Over_: I always fancied that they were chanting "Nous Sommes du Soliel" permuting the order of the words on each iteration. I liked this analysis because of the close ties between Relayer and Topographic Oceans. (Isn't Relayer mentioned (foreshadowed) in Topo?) It kind of makes circled references. I must agree that parts do sound like what Spencer said, though: Sound relayer, sound relayer, sound relayer to sound Sound relayer, sound relayer, to the sun chase. Chow, gReg * * * * * * * * * * RELIGION AND YES: ================= Date: 4 Mar 92 14:39:00 EST From: "MAPLE::ARTROCKER" First of all, I'd like to thank those who cleared up the "Miracle of Life" issue. I had trouble understanding many of the lyrics through Jon's various mumblings (as in quite a few songs). Anyhow, it makes sense to me now that I know what he is saying. To the person "greywolf" who, in Notes#33, posted about the members of YES "walking the path of all the known religions," I disagree. PLEASE note that this is in no way a flame, merely my statements. But to the statement "...Yes does not follow the love of God...they follow the god of Love" (forgive my loose paraphrasing), this just isn't true. I am aware for a fact that Rick Wakeman is quite a practicing Christian. It is very evident from a few of his recent releases entitled "In The Beginning," "The Gospels," and the like. In fact, in the insert, Rick gave an address for donations to some establishment involved in Christian missionary work. The insert made it quite clear that Rick and his wife Nina were dedicated Christians. As for the other members, this may be true. I know that Jon is fascinated but frustrated with religion in general. Thus, the statement about walking all the paths...trying them out. Also, I heard Jon say during a program entitled "In the Studio" for _Fragile_ that "Long Distance Runaround" was about his frustration with religion, about how it has always confused him. The point is that he is interested in it. As for Chris, unfortunately, it seems the only thing that he believes in any more is wine and women, but not song! :-( Hopefully Chris can get his act together. Certainly not to push this religion this on anyone, but to make my point clear one last time, for anyone that can't see that Yes believes in God, just listen to "The Meeting" (from ABWH, of course). I hope no one is offended by this post or takes it the wrong way. I just felt a need to speak about this subject a bit. Keep listening and enjoy! Gregg Brown artrocker@maple.circa.ufl.edu P.S. Any comments, complaints or (if necessary) flames should be sent directly to me!! [ Yes, please! Thanks for the mature attitude, Gregg. As I remember from Yesfest, Rick stated that he was a devout Christian but he made it a point not to push his religious beliefs on anyone. In a recent interview Jon said that the song, "And You And I" was about his frustration with modern religions due to their being based on suffering and guilt (his words). Without a doubt Yes lyrics have some roots in religious belief, but they are open to interpretation. - Mike ] * * * * * * * * * * EVEN MORE ON THE FUTURE OF YES: =============================== Date: 4 Mar 92 14:55:00 EST From: "MAPLE::ARTROCKER" Just felt like since everyone else is talkin' about it, I'd voice my opinion on YES's future. Jon Anderson and Chris Squire are the band's founders. These two are a must. A sober Chris would be strongly preferred. Alan White needn't even be questioned. He is a devout YES member since 1973's _Yessongs_. Bill Bruford, on the other hand, should certainly be given the boot. He just adds extra weight and unneeded ego to the band. Although I admire his talents, two drummers is one too many. Although Tony Kaye is the original keyboard player and I admire his work (believe it or not!), especially for his arrangements, he is not the type of player YES really needs at this point. He was wonderful on _The Yes Album_, agreed 100%, but YES needs a modern and unique sound and we all know that Rick Wakeman is the man we need ever so desperately. And I'm not talking about a producer-modified/half-absent Rick Wakeman. But we needn't worry about that because I read that Rick was so displeased with _Union_ that he said "If he is going to work with this band, [the next release] is going to have to be a YES album." A good sign!! Now, ladies and gentlemen, the main event, Steve Howe vs. Trevor Rabin! This is a tough choice and I leave it up to the band members themselves to determine which of these guys remains with YES. I agree whole-heartedly with whoever spoke about Trevor as the driving force behind YES in the recent past. This is unquestionably true. Therefore, I would have to include him in YES's future. He is doubtlessly very talented, both vocally and on his axe. His writing has improved since the cheesy "Make It Easy" from _Yesyears_. One last plus about Trev is that he and Rick Wakeman get along so well. I think that will be the difference if YES is going to follow through with their promise of one last album. As much as I love Steve Howe, I think his time is just about up with YES. Therefore, in my opinion, an ideal lineup for a final YES album would be Anderson, Squire, Rabin, Wakeman, and White.

Weintraub" Hey there, I am a recent subscriber and this is my first posting; When I saw the Union tour last summer in Miami (6 July 91), Jon mentioned before "I've Seen All Good People" that the song was being recorded, live. I heard that other concerts featured the same statement, so I was wondering if there will be a live album coming out from the Union Tour? It seems that every major unification tour of late (ie. Stones, Who, etc.) has featured a live album of some sorts, so I would like to hear about a Union tour album, since the guys kicked major ass live... Groove in Peace...

Weintraub" Last night, while listening to Disc 3 of YESYEARS, I was trying to figure out Rick Wakeman's narration on "Money"...It is only on one channel, and is buried in the mix...All I could get was in the beginning and at the end, he mentioned something "sponsored by the Labour Party." I would like it if someone who knows the narration could e-mail it to me... [ And to the list... - Mike ] Also, where can I get the guitar tab to "Heart of the Sunrise"???

I'm interested in adding some bootleg Yes CD's to my almost complete Yes CD collection. My problem is finding a source. I've never seen any at one of the Kansas City used record shops and I won't even talk about the shops here in Columbia. :( I've seen ads in Goldmine, particularly for CD Connection in Germany, but I've heard some horror stories from someone who lost big bucks trying to order from there. I was wondering if any of you kind souls could help me by recommending a mail order place. Also, if you know a local outlet that can obtain Yes CD boots, I'd be interested in hearing more. Another helpful suggestion from those of you that already have some bootlegs would be what recordings you would recommend. I judge a recording on a combination of recording quality and performance quality. If you want to know what I mean about that, e-mail me. Let me know if you have any leads for me. Dale Hackemeyer [ Re-evolution is real good. - Mike ] * * * * * * * * * * ON BRUFORD: =========== Date: Tue, 3 Mar 1992 19:26 -0500 From: MOONLIT KNIGHT First, a little clear up. Earthworks is in Northampton MA on 3/19 ... or at least I hope so since I'm going. This is going to be an all-purpose post which will doubtlessly overlap with that of others, especially since the person who let me in on alot of this info subscribes to the list. Bruford, arguably my favorite member of the band, has pulled a very impressive stunt by staying with Yes when he might have (I assume that he had an option) gone back to the reformed King Crimson. Fripp announced a while ago that it would include himself, Tony Levin, and Adrian Belew. Recently it's been out that the drummer will be Gabriel alum Jerry Moratta and that Bruford will be going into the studio this year with the whole bunch (all 8) to record. Since the YesYears family tree said something about ABWH's being "on ice", it might have been (and who knows, might still be) an option. But for now it looks like we're going to get some solo things (Squire, Rabin, Jon/Kitaro) and then in 1993, a new album and a tour. Maybe this is optimistic -- new albums were thought to be forthcoming after Tormato and after Drama -- but it looks good. It was said awhile ago that not everyone would write together (that would be pretty awkward to try to do) but that it would be recorded together. Alot of things are said about Bruford -- that he's cynical or money-hungry. I think that he's misunderstood. I admire him alot for having perspective on the band's abilities, and especially for debunking alot of the potential myth-making that surrounds Yes, ie his talking about how Close to the Edge was really difficult to put together, that the early days sucked, etc. His real focus in life is his jazz, I think; the rock option is there, to an extent, to make some decent money. Players of non-commercial music often get royally screwed; alot of old folks from the days of classic rock still tour to get by when they should be retired (I'm talking the 50's classic rock here) and sipping fuzzy glasses of lemonade for they did for rock and roll. The same could conceivably apply to Bruford -- royalties from Fragile and Close to the Edge aren't too heavy I imagine. If he's to ensure his future AND have no compromises in his other artistic work, a pretty painless way to do it is to play mostly great music with musicians who are more or less great players. There's alot of room for him to explore percussion things within Yes ... watching YesYears makes me realize how much he did for the Union tour's sound, especially on Awaken. I love seeing him play his set, even if it's not with all the enthusiasm people say he had with Crimson. Yes is something of a compromise with him, but that's OK -- Yes has long passed its innocence. Another good thing is that he's not likely to take himself too seriously; he's there to play music. I'm sure he prefers Earthworks, and he should. In alot of ways I think he's the most together musician Yes has; he's steadily progressed and evolved; I think he's altogether great; I think it's great when he shakes his ass (he seemed to turn his head and laugh when I bellowed something to this effect at him last year). I am really looking forward to seeing him to his thing, both this month and next year. Jeff Liss * * * * * * * * * * EARTHWORKS LIVE!! ================= Date: Sun, 15 Mar 92 16:52:43 -0500 From: dschuetz@anywhere.umd.edu Bill Bruford's Earthworks The Barns at Wolf Trap Farm Park for the Performing Arts Vienna, Virgina. Thursday, March 12, 1992 The Barns are a couple of small theatres built in an old barn at the only National Park for the Performing Arts. It seats about (wild guess) 300, and has a very rustic atmosphere. I don't think the show was sold out, but there weren't many empty seats, either. The concert started about 8:30, with the band walking onto an already lit stage amid applause and shouts of "Bruford!" and "Django!" The concert was incredible, overall. I've only seen them once before (October, 1990, at The Bayou, in Washington, D.C.), and this blew that show away. Bruford welcomed us to the show, saying that "We've probably met before, across a crowded enourmodome." He was full of interesting comments, stopping every few songs to tell us what we'd heard, to introduce the band, talk about the next song ("For the first three minutes, Tim and Ian will play only three pitches, while Django and I try desprately to mess them up."), etc. He is genuinely a funny person when he's talking, and does a lot to relax the crowd and get them "into" the show. He also commented that a lot of their songs start off and end kind of weird, and that they generally have a very bright, optimistic beginning and rapidly dissolve into some chaotic, psychotic mish-mash of sound. There was no intermission, the band played straight through for about an hour and a half. Halfway through the show, he told us that the "concert is being recorded, for possible world distribution." He then invited us all to say "Hi, Mom!" (which we did). The performances were all top-notch, especially from Django Bates. During the first part of "Bridge of Inhibition" (which I suppose is really called "The Shepherd is Eternal,") he went nuts with his horn (what kind of horn is that, anyway? English?). He'd play a lot of very very fast notes, for about three or four measures, then take a deep breath (while still hitting the notes, so we heard "toot-toot-...-toot-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-toot..."). We all got a kick out of that... ;-) The set list (with additional comments afterwards), for those interested: Stromboli Kicks Up North Libreville Stone's Throw My Heart Declares a Holiday Emotional Shirt It Needen't End In Tears Nerve [Some song I haven't been able to identify. Anyone? I'd like to know.] [I think it *might* have been "Pilgrim's Way," but I'm not sure...] Hotel Splendour Bridge of Inhibition ------ Pigalle (encore) He introduced "Libreville" by saying "Here's a song you can tap your foot to" then making a sort of "tongue in cheek" motion with his face... I never noticed before just how screwed up that piece is, time-wise. Very very strange--it sounded like each member was playing in a different signature. "Emotional Shirt" was absolutely incredible. After "Emotional Shirt," Bruford declared an end to the "ballad section of the concert," and told us about the recording. After the show I noticed a Budget Rent-a-truck from Boston, and a small van with light coming from within and a Massachusetts license plate that read "remote." Could this have been the "studio"? ;-) I really do hope that this gets released. Not only was it an incredible show, but the songs simply sound so much better live. A lot more energy. Hopefully, they'll release the entire concert, as all the pratter from Bruford was a big part of the fun for me. If you get the chance to see them (I've no idea what the rest of their tour schedule is like), DO IT! david. +++ +++ +++ +++ Date: Tue, 17 Mar 1992 01:57 EST From: STOREYR@Venus.YCC.Yale.Edu Bill Bruford's Earthworks played an inspired set to a near capacity crowd at New York's The Bottom Line on Sunday night, March 15. The concert capped a marvelous weekend for me: my cousin came to visit, we saw Rush/Primus on Saturday and then saw Bruford on Sunday. Earthworks was unquestionably the highlight. The band was in excellent form. They played Up North, My Heart Declares a Holiday, and Bridge of Inhibition from the first album, Downtown, Libreville, and Pilgrim's Way from the second, and Hotel Splendour, Nerve, Temple of the Winds, and All Heaven Broke Loose from the new one. At about 1 hour 45 minutes the show was a bit short for my taste, but every second was outstanding. Bruford showed complete mastery of his kit. The chordal drums were a nice effect, particularly on the slower tunes. (By the way, they also played Candles Still Flicker in Romania's Dark) in which Bill was amazing in his understatement. Anyway, his complete sense of dynamics and control, mixed with the trademark polyrhythms and top kit madness, reminded me why he is and will always be my favorite member of Yes. Django Bates contributed on both E flat horn and keyboards. His horn work was excellent during the tricky fast passages on tunes like Bridge, and he added marvelous harmonies on Pilgrim's Way. However, he took a couple of solos on the slower tunes that sounded forced. It's a difficult instrument. He more than made up for it with wonderful keyboard work, though. I thought his choice of sounds could have been better, but his playing was super. I had no idea from the albums that he could play the keyboards so well. Iain Ballamy's sax playing was inspired and melodic. He took the majority of the solos and was always making a musical statement as opposed to just blowing. I really enjoyed his playful rhythm work during Libreville. And, his slow passages on Candles and Pilgrim's Way were mystical. His control over long slow fading notes was so musical. The biggest surprise of the evening was the stellar bass playing by Tim Harries. Whether it was bowed acoustic, picked acoustic, or electric, Mr. Harries was consistently in the pocket, never too obtrusive, and downright outstanding. I've now seen many great bass players (Levin, Squire, Tony Franklin, Geddy Lee) but Harries was the most consistent and most impressive of them all. In addition, he took an amazing acoustic solo on Bridge that was at the same time rhythmic, melodic, and blazing. His singing vibrato and subtle fills were as near perfect as I can imagine. Finally, to top all, Bill announced during the show that they were recording both New York nights on a 24 track digital recorder for release as a live album next year. He asked us to say "Hi" to our "Mums" to which we responded with the rousing American equivalent, "Hi, Mom!" Bill's witty banter between songs was sidesplittingly funny; in particular, the guy behind me couldn't stop laughing. The crowd seemed to really love the show. Earthworks got three standing ovations: one after Harries' and Bruford's solos in Bridge, one after the set, and one after the encore. (Oh yeah, they also played Pigalle, which was great.) It was interesting to see such a mixed audience. There were older folks (I mean OLDER, like before Yes' time), old Yes fans, younger Yes fans, other Jazz fans, and representatives of just about every race you can imagine. I think Jon Anderson would have loved it. All in all, the show was a completely positive experience in every way. If anyone else has a chance to catch Earthworks, even if one isn't familiar with the material, I say go for it! You won't be disappointed.
