Actually, at least three, which I have. Now here's something I've never had a satisfactory answer to: Yes was famous for its volume-control lead guitar sound. Steve Howe did it in Yes, and Peter Banks did it in Flash, but Banks didn't really do it on his albums with Yes. SO, was Howe imitating Banks, or was Banks imitating Howe? >But his solo work is quite nice. > Haven't heard anything after "Two Sides," tho I know of at least one from the 90s. >Another ex-Yes man who put out some nice Jazzish albums is Bill Bruford, who >also played with Genesis and King Crimson. > >xponent >Incestuous Musical Relationships Maru >rob > I liked Patrick Moraz' solo stuff, especially "i", which was lambasted by critics at the time for being over-produced. Me, I've always said that you can NEVER have too much percussion. Anyway, he was also in the short-lived band Refugee, with the bassist and drummer from the Nice. (And he played dazzingly better than Keith Emerson!) I dunno if he's still with the Moodies, or even if they still play. --- * [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://just-john.com/cn/rfe.shtml * _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
