  By "they" I assume you mean that Bruford and Holdsworth went out of
their way to make the split sound bitter?  Why do you think they'd do
such a thing?  Why would Jobson want to paint himself in anything but
the rosiest of hues?  ;)

   Surely you like Asia: their virtue is, too, that improvization
   is downplayed.

Asia are OK, but nowhere as near as good as UK, of course.  Downplaying improvisation is neither sufficient nor necessary to be a great band!

   IMHO, the band UK is very similar to Asia in
   attitude: they have taken some canon (cheesy jazz-rock for
   UK, semi-progressive pop for Asia)

Cheesy?  I don't share your sentiments *at all*!

    and exploit it without
   improvisation, atonalities and other tricks usual for
   progressive music.

UK has atonalities galore!  Listen to the bass, man!  It's often a 7th
or, 2nd, or tritone relative to the tonic.


   I doubt they could be called progressive
   in the same sense as, say, Henry Cow.

I don't know Henry Cow (though Malcolm's working on it, I think!).  I
posted a little sermon a few weeks back that explains that I am not
interested in innovation for innovation's sake; I listen to "prog
rock" not because it is progressive, but because that is the label
that was applied to the music that hits me the most deeply (well,
aside from Prokofiev, Bartok, etc).

    A theme for
   discussion: is UK a less successive twin of Asia or not?
   Historically speaking, of course, but from musical point
   of view?

No.  Less successful (is that what you meant?), but not a twin.

   I think so, but I only have heard their first
   album, which completely put me off due to Jon+Vangelis 
   (-Vangelis, of course) vocals and absense of improvization.

Aha!  Perhaps you don't know what you are talking about.  Are you suggesting that Jon Anderson sang on Uk's first album?  I wonder which album you are thinking of, because it is not by UK.

The alternative, that you did hear John wetton singing, and thought it
was Jon Anderson is so bizarre (it would reduce your credibity as a
music critic, I believe) that I prefer the prior explanation.  Or
perhaps your statement was a "thinko".

   For me, the (rare) redeeming parts were Holdsworth
   guitar solos, who played there (IMHO, of course)
   better that in Gazeuse and Softs.

But your first line said that you thought downplaying improvisation
was one of UK's *virtues*!

   Misha.

How 'bout the Kinks' "Father Christmas"?  Kinks are definitely pop, but
they
were (are?) fairly progressive within that realm.  This one kind of falls
into
the same category as Lake's: it's something of a downer (kids mugging Santa
Claus...).

I don't see why not, as they were quite big in the States in the
mid-70s. Look for releases dated about '77. There music is mildly
progressive, and was my first big interest before I heard Rush
and Yes...

My guess is that you're not a David Sylvian fan, otherwise you
wouldn't have to ask this question.  However:

If you like Sylvian, yes, grab it.  It's not nearly as good as
"Secrets of The Beehive", but it isn't as oscure as some of the
other work he's done (e.g. with Holger Czukay).

If you're buying it because you're a Fripp fan and know nothing 
about Sylvian, don't bother.   This isn't another showcase for
Fripp; he's just YASM (yet another session man) (Sylvian trys to 
play with everyone).

The original intent of my posting was to try to obtain responses to a
good natured argument between myself (a die-hard Marillion fan for 8
years) and a friend who simply wanted to provoke an argument with me.
Since that posting, I have received numerous replies via e-mail and the
net.  I appreciate those who understood the humorous tone of my post and
gave me a thorough _rational_ comparison between the two excellent
groups.  On the other hand, I do not appreciate "ignorant" responses
such as this one by people who live to flame, and make _no_ attempt
whatsoever to discuss a topic that, based on the number of replies I
received, is pertinent to many people. 
	You state, without any shred of evidence, that Marillion was
influenced by Pink Floyd.  Not that I disagree, but would you mind
giving some explicit reasons as to why you believe this?  I also think
that musically there are several other correlations between the groups
beyond the superficial comparison, "Fish sounds like Peter Gabriel."  
These include keyboard styles, unusual time structures and variations of
them within a single song, as well as agnst-filled poetic lyrics.  However,
both groups still maintained their own distinctinve styles.  I don't
believe the assertion that Marillion might have been influenced by the
much-older Genesis should insult your apparently delicate sensibilities.

	Apologies to those of you who don't care to listen to such
tirades, but I don't care to indulge assinine posters such as "The
Ultra-Violet Bluesman", whoever that is.

Zero. No LPs to my knowledge. There was a cassette with five songs

It's run by my friend Tony Coulter.  He has loads of

If you like Gong, try his first, Fish Rising.  It has most of Gong 
on it.  After that he got more and more commercial.  Many people like
L and Motivation Radio though, which have qualities of their own.

Did anyone catch the Laurie Anderson piece on All Things Considered?  They
ended last Friday's show (10/30/92) with "Why We Need Leaders", sort of her
commentary on politics.  It was probably around 5 minutes or so long, with
a minimal amount of music.  Started with an excerpt of Stockdale from the 
v.p. debate, had some short interviews with kids and adults, some Michael
Bolton music from some Clinton event, and talking to fans, some Bush, Perot
plugging his commercials.  That's as much as I can recall of it.

NPR has transcripts and tapes available.  I ordered the tape (die-hard
Anderson fan :-)  If anyone else is interested, the transcripts are $10
and the tapes (3 sides total) are $12.50.  They ask for the name of the 
show and the date, and when I ordered they even asked what specific piece
I was interested in to make sure I was asking for the correct date. The 
number is (202)822-2323.
