Subject: Yes and progressive rock I just realized that if you substituted Keith Emerson for Geof Downes in Asia you'd have Howe, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, which has already been mentioned in this digest was almost a reality. That would be a fantastic collaboration. Anyone want to start a campaign? Re: Yes aint yes without "Howe, Bruford & Wakeman". I think that until the last two albums, the band survived personnel changes quite well although I agree the trend has been downward. In particular, I think Patrick Moraz really revitalized the band on Relayer, they were getting a bit boring and I think that Moraz started to lead them in new exciting directions that they ultimately didn't take when they lost him. Of all the solo albums (Olias/Anderson,Beginnings/Howe,etc) I think that Morazs "i" was by far the most interesting. In fact, I think it gets the creativity award of the decade. It takes about 5 or 6 listens to begin to appreciate, but it's worth it. It's not always just music. There are many percussive passages, and synthesizer "noise" passages, and while it's not the first album like that, I think its one of the only like it with any real musical "soul".
