Just seen Chameleons hiding away at the bottom (blending in with the background!...) Had no idea they were still going, class band. Posted this before but I love this version of their classic song...
Jon Anderson can still hit those gorgeous high notes at the age of 80. Yes, he is 80, how did that happen? Here he is with Geeks:
This is great, almost exactly 40 years after the original this classic song is given the orchestral treatment with one of my favourite vocalists...
If you liked that you’ll love their Roundabout! The whole band showing off their chops with Jon’s voice soaring above it all. Use headphones/ear buds if you can, the bass is fantastic.
So here is what was released on 45 in GB 60 years ago this month, you used to get real value for money with b-sides then. Jimmy Page was a busy boy back then he must make a fortune just from the royalties...
Just been to see these guys at Bristol Beacon, an utterly amazing experience. Fantastic musicians, an astonishing lead vocalist in Einar Selvik, and a brilliant light show. Highly recommended.
Wondered if anyone else played the piano in here. Been sight reading Haydn sonatas. I am a recent convert. They are great fun to olay.
Only just got round to listening to this. Love it - a great version! (also love that JA needs his own riser these days )
Can't think of Justin Hayward without thinking of War of the Worlds. I remember spending a whole weeks wages on that album when working my first part-time job in the Esso garage in Fair Oak (Summerlands I think) just after leaving school.
I don’t know if this has been posted on here before, so apologies if it has, but if it hasn’t take a look, listen to the lyrics and then look at the comments where Ren gives a short explanation of what his life was like. Probably the most powerful message I have heard in a song.
Here are a few tracks from the new Japanese Breakfast album which is a slow burner but I love it now after a few listens, it has some unusual aural textures...
If you're into Prog Rock, you should give Steven Wilson's latest album The Overview a listen. It's a concept album about the "overview effect", a cognitive shift caused by viewing Earth from space...
