Podcasts about big generator

It's Eric Wincentsen's own podcast! After the success of the 1983 Yes comeback album 90125 guitarist Trevor Rabin found himself under pressure to come up with another hit single.  He also found himself trying to hold the band together as well as make something decent out of the recording sessions for their next album Big Generator.  The album was released in 1987 and, though successful, still remains controversial among fans of the group.

Yes keyboardist and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Tony Kaye returns to the show to discuss the making of Yes's 1987 album Big Generator. The band was not in a good place when producer Trevor Horn brought them together for the 90125 album. Because that album was such a surprise hit, the team came back together for the follow up, only to have more dysfunction and infighting. Surprisingly, with hits like "Rhythm of Love" and "Love Will Find a Way", the album became another hit almost in spite of itself. Tony recounts all the ups and downs, songs he co-wrote, tension with Trevor Horn, and much more. Fascinating story for an excellent album that's sometimes overlooked by its predecessor. Enjoy!  www.patreon.com/thehustlepod

When Yes ran into problems recording their tenth album in Paris at the end of 1979, it was almost the end. Yet in the 80s the band rallied, firstly as part of an unlikely collaboration with a new wave duo, then with 90125, the most successful album of their career, which spawned a number one hit in the USA with ‘Owner Of A Lonely Heart'. The band failed to capitalize on this success, however, lingering too long over its successor Big Generator and by the end of the decade, Yes had effectively split into two versions of the same band. With most authors concentrating on the group's 1970s career, “Yes in the 1980s” looks in forensic detail at this relatively underexamined era of the band's history, featuring rarely-seen photos researched by author David Watkinson. The book follows the careers of all nine significant members of the group during a turbulent decade which saw huge highs but also many lows. Not only does it consider the three albums the band itself made across the decade, but also the solo careers and other groups – including Asia, XYZ, The Buggles, Jon and Vangelis and GTR - formed by those musicians as the decade wound towards a reunion of sorts in the early 1990s.Stephen Lambe is an author, festival promoter and the director and founder of Sonicbond Publishing. His ten books include the best-selling “Citizens Of Hope And Glory – The Story Of Progressive Rock” and “Yes On Track: Every Album, Every Song”. David Watkinson is an author and collector, with a specific interest in Yes. His books include “Yes – Perpetual Change” and “Jon Anderson And The Warriors – The Road To Yes”.

This episode really reminds us that we're watching a cop show.

PROGDOC #017 MIRACLES OUT OF NOWHERE - KANSAS LEFTOVERTURE 1976 Kansas é uma banda de rock norte-americana dos anos 1970 especializada no estilo progressivo. Dave Hope (baixo), Phil Ehart (bateria), Robby Steinhardt (violino e vocal), Steve Walsh (teclado e vocal) e Rich Williams (guitarra) formaram a banda White Clover em sua cidade natal de Topeka, Kansas. Depois da entrada de Kerry Livgren (teclado e guitarra) o nome da banda foi mudado para Kansas. NOT NOW JOHN - PINK FLOYD THE FINAL CUT - 1983 The Final Cut é o décimo segundo álbum de estúdio da banda britânica de rock Pink Floyd. Lançado em março de 1983. Assim como os anteriores do grupo, é um álbum conceitual e é o último de sua discografia com o integrante Roger Waters, no qual é o compositor e vocalista de todas as músicas. Após o lançamento do álbum a cada membro da banda concentrou-se em trabalhos solo. Nesta época, Roger Waters anunciou sua saída da banda, mas tentou impedir que Gilmour e Nick Mason utilizassem o nome Pink Floyd futuramente. MOTHS - JETHRO TULL HEAVY HORSES - 1978 Heavy Horses é o décimo primeiro álbum de estúdio da banda britânica Jethro Tull, um dos últimos a trazer a mistura de estilos acústico, celta e rock que seria aos poucos deixado de lado em prol da música sintetizada. Juntamente com Songs from the Wood e Stormwatch ele representa a realização de um ideal - trazer para canções de rock assuntos até então intocados; aqui são temas ecológicos e regionais. Heavy Horses foi amplamente aclamado pela crítica, especialmente em suas apresentações ao vivo. THANK YOU - LED ZEPPELIN LED ZEPPELIN II. - 1969 "Thank You" é uma canção lançada em seu segundo álbum de estúdio Led Zeppelin II, em 22 de novembro de 1969. Foi escrita por Jimmy Page e Robert Plant, tendo sido gravado no Morgan Studios, Londres, durante a segunda turnê banda nos Estados Unidos. QUEIMADA - O TERÇO CRIATURAS DA NOITE - 1975 O Terço é uma banda brasileira formada no Rio de Janeiro em 1968 por Jorge Amiden (guitarra), Sérgio Hinds (baixo) e Vinícius Cantuária (bateria). A banda começou tocando rock clássico, mas logo tendeu ao rock progressivo e ao rock rural e pop caracterizando o som e a diversidade musical da banda. Criaturas da Noite é o terceiro álbum da banda brasileira de rock progressivo O Terço, lançado em 1975 Integrantes: Sérgio Hinds - guitarra, viola e vocal Sérgio Magrão - baixo e vocal Luiz Moreno - bateria, percussão e vocal Flávio Venturini - piano, órgão, sintetizador, viola e vocal SHOOT HIGH, AIM LOW - YES BIG GENERATOR - 1987 Big Generator é o décimo segundo álbum de estúdio da banda de rock progressivo Yes. Foi lançado em 1987 pelo selo subsidiário Atco da Atlantic Records (o último álbum de estúdio do Yes pela Atlantic) e foi o seguimento do álbum maciçamente sucessivo 90125. Um álbum trabalhoso de fazer, as sessões de Big Generator se arrastaram por dois anos, em grande parte por diferenças criativas. O guitarrista Trevor Rabin foi com o objetivo de progredir além de 90125, enquanto o vocalista principal Jon Anderson estava começando a ansiar por uma música mais tradicional do Yes. Trevor Horn, que foi um fator importante no sucesso do disco anterior do Yes 90125 fez parte das sessões de gravação no início, mas desistiu depois de alguns meses devido, em grande parte, à sua incapacidade de se dar bem com o tecladista Tony Kaye. Participaram deste álbum: Jon Anderson - vocais principais e vocais de apoio Trevor Rabin - vocais principais e vocais de apoio, violão e guitarra, teclados Tony Kaye - teclados, órgão, piano, sintetizador Chris Squire - Baixo, vocais de apoio Alan White - bateria, percussão

Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier This week, Mark and I have been listening to the album which Jon Anderson released shortly after leaving Yes following the Big Generator tour, 'In The City Of Angels'. It’s not exactly progressive rock but see if you agree with our assessment of the music and take a listen to an audio contribution on this subject from Stephen Lambe as well. We also have time for a two pence about the latest Roger Dean Yes album cover and its public development as well as a very exciting YMP Announcement connected with what the YMP Patrons have been up to in secret lately. And that’s not all. There’s the result of the Dave Watkinson Warriors EP competition, news of Miguel Falcao’s PlayForChris6 project and the official press release from Steve Howe about his new album. So, Look out for all that! What's this album like?Why did Jon go in this direction?Is it worth buying? Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

Why not get yourself one of these? Head over to the YMP Emporium via the link on the menu. Show notes and links: Love Is Release date 31st July 29th April 2020: Legendary Yes guitarist Steve Howe has announced he is to release Love Is on 31st July through BMG Records. Love Is is Howe’s first solo album since the all-instrumental Time in 2011 and has a balance of five instrumental tracks and five songs. The album will be available as CD - gatefold digi-sleeve with 12 page booklet and LP – Black vinyl 180gm with gatefold sleeve, liner notes and lyrics. Link to Steve Howe Official store pre-orders: https://SteveHowe.lnk.to/D2CPR Link to Amazon pre-orders: https://SteveHowe.lnk.to/LoveIsPR Steve Howe sings lead vocals and plays electric, acoustic and steel guitars, keyboards, percussion and bass guitar on the instrumentals while Yes vocalist Jon Davison provides vocal harmonies and plays bass guitar on the vocal tracks. The album also features Dylan Howe on drums. Many years in the making, Love Is brings together a consistently strong and polished listening experience, forging the very best from the writing and playing throughout the album. This may well be considered the real 'stand out' album of Howe’s solo career. The instrumentals keep a highly progressive rock guitar style to the fore, with songs that explore stories of lives lived and lives only just begun. Love Is A River is the central longer song with several textural shifts, featuring a theme played on 12 string and steel guitars. “I called the album Love Is because it hints at the central idea that that love is important but also love of the universe and the ecology of the world is very important,” says Steve Howe. “Alexander Humboldt went around the world and recognised we are destroying the planet but that was 200 years ago! We are still destroying the planet and, I suppose, my songs show the yearning I have for the love of nature and how beauty, art and music all stem from nature. There is a theme about those things, love, beauty, ecology, nature and wonderful people. “Love Is A River just seemed a very important track to me, a sort of quintessential track with lots of moods, lots of interesting things going on with steel guitars and acoustic guitars. Further tracks grew from time spent writing in my studio. “See Me Through looks at the idea that we get through life by not driving ourselves that hard but attempting to achieve things with people who help you along the way and Imagination is dedicated to my granddaughter Zuni. It’s about how I see some of the things she’s experienced in her short seven years.” “I invited Jon Davison to sing harmonies with me and add bass on the songs.

Bruce presents the fifth album by Australian rock band The Church. It would be their breakthrough album for international success. After starting as a new wave band in 1980, The Church drifted into a little alternative, a little psychedelic, a little goth - some would call it dream pop. The lyrics and music are both a little dark and wistful, a result of their recording far from home in Los Angeles, and pouring their feelings of being in a strange place they didn't really like into their music. Arista was their new label for this studio album, and despite the homesickness of the band, their work in LA paid off with a great album. Destination This is the first track on the album and describes a dystopian totalitarian bureaucracy. "It's not a religion, it's just a technique, it's just a way of making you speak. Distance and speed have left us too weak, and destination looks kind of bleak." Reptile The second hit from the album is a song about a bad relationship. "Go now, you've been set free. Another month or so, you'll be poisoning me with your lovely smile." Under The Milky Way This is the first and biggest hit from the album with a great 12-string acoustic foundation. The title is inspired by a music hall in Amsterdam that is in a former milk factory. The name of the hall is Melkweg, Dutch for "Milky Way." ENTERTAINMENT TRACK: “With A Little Help from My Friends” by Joe Cocker This was the theme song from "The Wonder Years" TV series. STAFF PICKS: “Tunnel of Love” by Bruce Springsteen Brian's staff pick is off the solo (minus the E. Street Band) album from The Boss. The tunnel of love is an amusement park ride in Asbury Park Boardwalk, and is a metaphor for the ups and downs of a relationship. “Rhythm of Love” by Yes Wayne's staff pick takes a prog rock turn with a Beach Boys harmony feel. All roads lead to Yes, in this case off their 12th studio album "Big Generator." “Devil Inside” by INXS The Australian group had a huge album in "Kick", and Rob's staff pick is one of the hits off this album. "The future uncertain, but certainly slight." HBO used this song on the trailer for the fourth season from "A Game of Thrones." “It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” by REM This fast talking hit off the 1987 album “Document” channels Bob Dylan's stream-of-consciousness approach from "Subterranean Homesick Blues." LAUGH TRACK: “You Talk Too Much” George Thorogood & the Destroyers We go out this week on George Thorogood's comedic rant about a girlfriend who just won't stop talking.

Bonus Episode – Trevor Rabin, Can’t Look Away In this bonus episode, Paul and Joe take a (small) sidestep away from Yes to discuss Trevor Rabin’s solo effort Can’t Look Away. Paul has always held this album in high regard and time has proven him correct. The influence of a top-notch producer (Bob Ezrin) is readily evident in focusing Trevor’s creative urges. This album serves as a fascinating addendum to the Yes albums of this era and, perhaps, provides an early glimpse into Trevor moving toward movie music. Better than Union, Big Generator or Talk? You decide.

Episode 47 – Yes Part 11, Big Generator This episode is another lean Palaver where Ken and Joe consider the Yes album Big Generator. Ken provides a look into the outstanding prog context of 1987 (what a year!). Regardless of the greater Palaver’s feeling about this album, Big Generator was the group’s ultimate gateway to Yes, originally via Paul. While Tom provides some scathing criticism via text message, Ken ultimately feels that both Big Generator and 90125 met the goals for all stakeholders involved. Big Generator sees Trevor Rabin specifically trying to write Yes music and strangely enough may come closest in certain sections of the lengthy “I’m Running”. Jon Anderson’s increased influence on this lineup is felt very clearly in the “beautiful positivity” of the last three tracks. Ken summarized our thoughts perfectly when he said, “In an upside-down world, this album makes a lot of sense.” Twitter: @progpala Email: progpala@gmail.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/ProgPala Instagram: ProgPala / Progressive Palaver YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCw_Xxit3D8wbv-AcJ_7Z__w/featured Theme music provided by: Dave DeWhitt

Love Will Find A Way 7 in and 12 in Produced by Robert Nasir, Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier Big Generator took a long time to create but, fear not, this episode isn't quite as long as that process was. We look at the singles generated by Big Generator and we also consider what extras might be included on new studio albums today. Was Big Generator as good as 90125? What about the singles?

Today on The River Turntable: Yes' "Rhythm of Love" off of Big Generator.

Yes logo by Roger Dean - of course! Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault. After a suggestion by Jeremy North, we look at live performances by Yes keyboard players including Kaye playing Wakeman and Wakeman playing Kaye. There's a great video doing the rounds of four Yes keyboard players playing the same Close to the Edge solo and it was a lot of fun to look at that carefully. Mark also reviews the debut Flash record which features Tony Kaye soon after he left Yes for the first time and we enter the dangerous waters of what Yes and ARW need to do (if anything) to legitimise their claim to the name of 'Yes'. Who plays the best Close to the Edge solo? How do Rick Wakeman and Tony Kaye approach each other's parts? Which approaches work best? Listen to the episode then let us know what you think!
