I agree, I have TONS of early Yes and they are great, but there are other,
revelant bands out there. Maybe we should let those guys have their Yes
newsgroup...

An EXCELLENT choice! I have been listening to the Ozrics for about a year
now and I have still not grown tired of them. Supposedly, they have signed 
a contract with IRS in the USA for a six-release deal (supposed to be new
material, not just US issues of the Dovetail CD's) and are due to tour the
US in early 1993 (hey, that's just a week away!). Does anyone have any info
on any new Ozrics material?

My favorite release has been ERPLAND. Really great music from start to
finish! That dosen't mean that there aren't jewels on the other releases.
IMHO, there isn't a weak OT release out there. Buy 'em all!

Along the same lines of the Ozrics, is the band Soma. Just got the disk a
couple of days ago and haven't evaluated it fully, but it sounds real good
so far...

And does anyone have a copy of the sampler _A_PSYCHEDELIC_PSAUNA_ on CD
that they want to sell? All of my sources have been dry so far on this one.

Jethro Tull lyrics are archived on remus.rutgers.edu and can be gotten
by ftping anonymously and then cd'ing to JethroTull/Lyrics and having

It's also on the European CD-5 for "Saving My Heart", in case your record

Same musicians on all three. I'm sure if you like "Fandangos.." that you
will like "Cold Wind" (their first btw) every bit as much, in fact I like
it a little better... Same rhythmic intensity. The third album "Gypsies"
is very good as well, but a little more polished and song oriented.

You must've missed the long discussion of Keith Emerson's keyboard style, 
comparisons between him and Tony Banks, and all the talk about what King 
Crimson CD to get first (my vote goes for The Compact King Crimson, then 
Lark's Tongues In Aspic, but that's not important right now.)
 
But the reason we all discuss Yes here is because, well, this IS the 
appropriate place for it, eh?

The first one exists on CD, but is out of print. As for which one is

one better.

Wooohoohoohoohoohoo.  This defies logic.  Let's see..."A Fifth
of Beethoven" (disco version of Beethoven's Fifth, ca. 1975)--
yes indeedy, a timeless classic!  Listen, I can't _think_ of
anything more dated than "In the Court of the Crimson King" (and
I'm a Crimson fan).  First ELP album?  "Tarkus"?  "Tales from 
Topographic Oceans"?  ANYTHING by an Italian progressive rock
band of the early 70s?  This music was embarrassingly dated 
by 1978 or earlier.

As for "progressive rock" being pure art versus the cheap disposable
commodities of popular music, don't kid yourself.  Were you around
in 1974 when every magazine article on ELP was dominated by quotes
of the price of Carl Palmer's drum set and Greg Lake's hand-made
Persian rug?  Do you think the Yes reunion was done out of love for
the music?

[at this point, our correspondent looks over his shoulder, sees an
army of glassy-eyed, heavily armed Yes freaks headed in his direction,
and bolts from the room in panic...]

I've come across an album by her called `Love in the Afternoon', which
I _think_ was made about 5 years ago.  Only heard it once or twice
though, and I can't remember any details.

Not a bad place to start, you do get songs from just about every album,
plus a pretty good example of the medley of 60's/70's classics that became
a staple at Dregs (and Steve Morse Band) concerts. But the playing somehow
isn't quite up to par with my memory of Dregs shows, except Steve Morse's
guitar and Rod Morgenstein's drums (the two always meshed like hand and
glove). Maybe it's just the recording, I don't know. I know the violin has
sounded better, maybe Alan Sloan's just very rusty, or maybe he just pales
in comparison to Mark O'Conner, who appeared on the last 2 studio albums.
If you've never heard the band I doubt this album will turn you off, and
once you're hooked you can check out the whole catalog.

The Dregs released 6 studio albums before breaking up. Between then and
the recent reunion there also appeared a couple of compilations on CD -
the names escape me now. Maybe these would be more representative starters
than the live set. Anyway, of the 6 studio releases:

1. Free Fall			4. Dregs of the Earth
2. What If			5. Divided We Stand
3. Night of the Living Dregs	6. Industry Standard

My personal favorite is #2. It shows off the group's versatility more than
any other, and Steve Morse's chops were pretty well mature by that point.
Most of my friends who are Dregs fans would agree with me on that one. A
*close* second for me is #4 (which probably *rocks* more than the others),
followed by #3, #1, #5, #6. To my knowledge, only the last of these is
unavailable on CD. If anyone knows otherwise I'd be glad to hear it!

I second this opinion.  _Red Queen... is an excellent CD;  it's sort
of a melange of early Genesis (circa _Trespass_/_Nursery Cryme_),
Jethro Tull (at their most fragilely beautiful best), Gentle Giant,
and Vivaldi, or maybe William Boyce, thrown in for good measure.  
Gryphon's influences may so, but IMHO _Red Queen...  isn't derivative 
in the least.
