*All* of it? Since when did Fragile contain the tracks "Starship Trooper",
"Yours is no Disgrace", "I've Seen All Good People", "Close to the Edge",
"Perpetual Change", "And You and I", etc, etc, etc?  Sorry, just couldn't
resist   :-) :-)

Going back to the original thread, I recall the original poster mentioned
that they are a big Floyd fan. In that case, I would have thought that
Close to the Edge is the best place to start.

Agreed, but Yessongs recording quality is dire. Regarding Yesshows, I've not
heard it on CD, but from the track listing I see that it fails to repair
the LP version's end-of-side break in the middle of "Ritual" - this is just
plain lazy, and inplies to me that the CD may even have been mastered from
the LP master tape  :-(

You don't have to read any interviews or read any papers to understand the
departure of Waters from the Floyd. Listen to Dark Side, Wish U Were, Animals,
Wall, and Final Cut. Notice a progression from an interesting influence to
an opressive dominance ? I think a clear step occurs from Wish to Animals,
and at the time it was excellent. However, in lacking the depth associated
with the earlier music, the sound could not continue on this heavy theme.
Don't get me wrong, there was plenty of space there, which led to the Wall,
and Animals itself may represent a peak, but I think Waters was "spent
force creatively" at the time he left the band. Final Cut serves as a
documentation of this; pleasant, but uninteresting. The "eclipse" of the
band by Waters is quite clear from the music, and what artist would put
up with that kind of "band" member ?

Have a good one,

Jim

 well rob, i could send you a review a recent show, but you sound
 like you're more interested in a Sophie B's Mystery Club 900 line.

 but anyway, just found the article in a pile a music rags.

 so here are a coupla bits from Dirk Richardson's review...



 "Hawkins' boldness was just about the only redeeming quality
  of her proformance.  It takes a lot of guts to get up and
  do some of the things she did onstage: sing off key more
  often than not; touch herself repeatedly without giving a good
  indication of whether she was indulging herself or her audience;
  hump in the strobe light while the histrionic lead guitarist 
  wrenched out a ejaculatory solo; take off her belt, waive it
  overhead, and crack it like a whip while african american
  bassist gail ann dorsey knelt before her..."


 "the whole show grew so ludicrous that i almost felt guilty 
  about my jaundiced reaction.  But hey, maybe she'll get the
  last laugh, turn out to be a major talent and big star.
  Then again, maybe she'll be the next Quarterflash.
  Harden my heart indeed"



  hope this helps,

The band members at the time of writing are:

John Payne - vocals & bass
Geoff Downes - backing vocals & keyboards
Al Pitrelli - backing vocals & guitars
Steve Howe - backing vocals & guitars*
Carl Palmer - percussion**

* - contrary to net.belief, Howe's name was not "blatantly misused" to
simply promote Aqua. Howe is expected to leave Yes after the next album

Yeah, I was wondering about that too, among other questions of

Sigh...it's threads like these that make REM worthwhile.

   As a long time REM fan I just thought I would add my opinion
concerning the new album. I listened to the whole album the other day
and I liked it. Of course its nothing like Murmur or Reckoning. The
thing that makes their music so brilliant is that they refuse to
follow the trends. I like Automatic because it is so different from
the other albums. It is much too sophisticated for the top-40 crowd
and that assures me that they have not sold out.
   When Document first came out I thought that they had sold out, but
they had just changed to a different style. If a band can't change
with the times, then their music becomes boring. Rem's music in my
opinion will never become boring because it is constantly changing.
Some albums are mellow and some are rockin'. That's what rock and roll
is all about.

Try using ecto-request to access ecto. That might just work! :)
