Another Yes box-set? Are you kidding me?!?


So I personally don't understand the point of this release but here it is. Basically it's going to be a 5 disc set including the complete albums Talk, The Ladder, Open Your Eyes and Magnification. It will also include as a bonus the complete show that Yes did at the Montreux Jazz festival back in 2003. While it's great that they are finally officially releasing this excellent show, it's frustrating they have to do it in this manner. What if you already own the other albums? What if you own one or two of the albums? What if you just have Magnification? Why do you have to buy them again just to get at this Live CD? You know it's going to be way overpriced as well. Apparently the Live CD isn't even the full performance (they wouldn't be able to fit in on just one disc anyway). If you have any more information on this then I do please send an email. I'm left scratching my head at this.

A ProgCast in crises

As you probably know we have not been able to get an episode out in quite some time now. I'm officially going to be putting the show on hiatus for the rest of the year while we try to see how we can make this work. Its been a struggle getting this thing done with our crazy schedules and all the sickness that's been going round the past few months. We'd like to thank you all for your time and attention during the shows we have made. In the mean time I'm going to bring this blog back to life during the month of December so check back here often. If you don't know what an RSS feed is you should really do a google search for it (use our proggy search on this page if you wish). It will make checking up on this blog easier then ever.

So while the podcast is down and out for the moment we should have all the news and reviews here in text form. Thanks for reading and keep on proggin'.

Video: The Genesis Trio lineup in action.

We're still working hard on that Genesis special, but in the mean time take a peak at what the trio will be like attempting to play the older (and better) stuff.
