Podcasts about yes music podcast

Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller Unfortunately, Mark has been unwell this week so best wishes to him for a speedy recovery. As we couldn't record an episode, I've been delving into the archive to uncover the first Yes Tracks Through Time episode I ever did. That was back in April 2013. Wow. Here are the show notes from way back then: Episode 200 with a new logo! The seventy-ninth episode of the Yes Music Podcast featuring the first in a series of Yes Tracks Through Time. After the initial recording, what happened to songs live? How did different line-ups of the band alter the character of tracks – if at all? Listen and then let me know what you think of the different approaches by contacting me via any of the different routes on the right hand side or by leaving a comment below! Which of the three versions of Astral Traveller is the best? Should group members leave tracks alone or add their own character? Does the band's approach change over time?

Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller It's 2025 and Mark and I are back for another year of the Yes Music Podcast. According to an online tool, it's 13 years 3 months 2 weeks and 6 days since I published episode 1. Wow. This episode focuses on Drama from 1980 - released 44 years 4 months 2 weeks and 5 days ago. Despite the shock of the dramatic lineup changes (Buggles Horn and Downes replacing Anderson and Wakeman) and the resulting initial dismissal of the album by some fans, the record is now amongst the most popular of all Yes albums. So why is Drama now regarded as a great Yes album? Mark and I have come up with our 6 reasons as you will hear in a few minutes. See if you agree and let us know in the comments for this episode. Why can we even call this a Yes album? What was the impact of The Buggles? Does it look like a Yes album? More Drama! YES-Topographic Drama The Drama Line Up Drama! I MADE IT TO ANTHEM 52!

Special Episode – Interview with Mark Anthony K of Projekt Gemineye – Oct 2024 The Palaver is very pleased to have another chat with Mark Anthony K (Projekt Gemineye, The Dark Monarchy, The Yes Music Podcast, and KissFAQ) about the latest Projekt Gemineye offering Canada: Stories and Legends. Mark is, as always, very engaging and insightful about the process that led to this latest record. He walks us through his inspirations, recording techniques, and overall intentions. We poke into almost every corner of this project to illuminate this collection for our listeners. We hope you enjoy. We are always thrilled to speak with Mark about his work!

Special Episode – Interview with Mark Anthony K of Projekt Gemineye – Feb 2024 For this special episode, we get to catch up with our friend Mark Anthony K (Projekt Gemineye, The Dark Monarchy, The Yes Music Podcast, and Kiss FAQ) to discuss the latest Projekt Gemineye release What's On Your Mind?. Mark provides his usual fascinating level of detail behind his writing and recording process and gives us all insights into the songs on this latest release. Of course, we have to delve into a wide range of related/unrelated topics including recording gear and technique, how to successfully produce an album, upcoming projects from Mark. We even have time to consider Joe's dream job of Pink Floyd archivist for a lark.

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller After a short break, Mark and I are back to consider what Geoff Downes was doing before being asked to rejoin Yes for the recording of Fly From Here, released in 2011, shortly before the Yes Music Podcast was established. We have been listening to the John Wetton album, Raised in Captivity which includes many prog rock heroes so listen out for our thoughts on that and what, if anything, we learned about why Geoff was re-recruited. Can we tell why Yes wanted Geoff Downes from this record? What do all those guests add? Is it a good record? Let us know if you agree with us! I received an amazing email this week - or was it last week I can't remember - informing me that Yes The Tormato Story has been shortlisted for a Selfie Award. These are handed out for self-published books so I think it has a lot more to do with the work Izzie Lawrence (cover designer), Bob Carling (production management and typesetting) and Simon Barrow (all round legend who kept me on track) had to do with it than me. It's also down to Mark, every Executive Producer, newsletter subscriber, pre-order-er, supporter, YMP listener, producer and patron and everyone else who had any role in its creation - see the full acknowledgements page in the book for more details. Anyway, I have to go to the London Book Fair in a couple of weeks' time to see if the book wins in the general non fiction category so keep your fingers crossed, please. https://youtu.be/8mfLQxwtwy8?si=_6Cm6fHMkoYFz5ir Check out the progress on my other podcast - https://anthem52.com/ Support the Fundraiser!

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller We had yet another lovely conversation with a relatively unsung hero of the Yes story this week. As you'll hear, you have probably seen Jeff Cumins' work, even if you don't realise it. He has a long and distinguished career as an artist and illustrator and revealed fascinating insights that neither Mark nor I had heard before. I'm sure you'll enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed talking to him. Do check out the images in this week's shownotes to see why were so pleased to be able to speak to Jeff. A huge thank you to everyone who donated to the YMP 6–th episode appeal for our 600th episode. We achieved our target in just a few days but don't let that put you off - you can still donate by clicking the link on Yes Music Podcast.com. As we have now passed our goal, Mark and I are planning our first ever YMP Live episode. I do hope you'll be able to join us for what promises to be an epic undertaking playing and talking about Yes music and lots more. Details to follow as soon as possible. Which items across Yes history was Jeff involved in? WHo did he meet first? Was this a dream come true? Let us know if you agree with us!

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller Stephen Lambe joins us in a moment to talk about his updated, comprehensive Yes book as well as touching on Tales and Trevor Rabin. https://burningshed.com/store/sonicbond What has Stephen added to his already great Yes book? What does he think of the current state of Yes? Where can you get his book? Let us know if you agree with us! We are entering another period of intense Yes activity this week with the band preparing for its US tour, Trevor Rabin releasing singles from his forthcoming album, Rio and perhaps the most seismic happening of all, the 600th episode of the Yes Music Podcast. We have a rather special guest lined up to join us in our celebration so it's bound to be one to remember. Mark and I are also planning a charity event to coincide with the milestone and more information on that will be coming soon, unless you are already a YMP Patron, of course - in which case I've already let them into the secret.

Special Episode – Interview with Kevin Mulryne, Author of Yes - The Tormato Story In this special episode we have the chance to speak with friend of the Palaver, host of The Yes Music Podcast, and now published author. Kevin provides us some insight into his new book, Yes - The Tormato Story. We go into all the usual Palaver corners covering his motivations for writing this particular book, his methods of research, and things that he learned along the way. Kevin's answers are, as expected, illuminating and entertaining. It's always an extreme pleasure to speak to such a well-versed gentleman about a topic we all love!

Tormato is an album that only hardcore Yes fans seem to know about. Without huge hit singles and a non-Roger Dean cover that many people do not like (including famously some of the members of the band), their 1978 offering often flies under the radar. But thanks to Kevin Mulryne, co-host of The Yes Music Podcast and author of the book Yes - The Tormato Story you can learn the most extraordinary details that went into the making of this album. From working with Hipgnosis on the cover, working at Advision studios to only move to RAC, the equipment the band used, the extra tracks that didn't make the album, to never before seen images from those sessions this book is a real treasure. Even rock fans who aren't that into Yes will be blown away by the detail Kevin has included through his extensive research from members of the band to their crew and all sorts of folks in the Yes orbit. Did you know they used a rotating stage on that tour? Did you know it went platinum in the US but you couldn't get it on CD until 1989? Though Don't Kill The Whale was a minor hit, the odd songs like Arriving UFO and Circus of Heaven make this one a bit different. And with rare epics like On The Silent Wings of Freedom, Onward or the baroque Madrigal, Tormato serves up some buried treasure which Kevin has helped to unearth. The book is a fantastic read and our conversation with Kevin was even more informative.

Steve Howe by William Mulryne Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius In a break from our very well-received technical episodes, Mark and I return this week to the what did they do next series. We are still in the so-called YES hiatus period of 2005-ish and we have just two band members yet to consider, the first being Steve Howe. SO we've taken a look around the various sources to see what Steve was up to at this point and one of the most useful was, perhaps unsurprisingly, his autobiography, All My Yesterdays. So, what do you think we chose to talk about this week and listen to next week? You will need to be a bit of a hard-core Steve Howe fan to know the answer, I suppose, but keep listening and see if you are correct then take the opportunity to listen yourself this week and then see how our opinions differ from yours next week. Do let us know, of course. What was Steve up to now?Who was he working with?What Yes connections can we discover? Listen to the episode and let us know what you think! Become a Patron!

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius A small selection from my Tormato collection I asked our friend Miguel Falcão to tell me a bit about how Chris Squire achieved such a remarkable bass sound for Tormato. Instead of sending me a few bullet points, Miguel was kind enough to record a complete audio description of the technical minutiae of the master's solution. Mark and I listen to this amazing in-depth piece and discuss a few of the points Miguel makes. Many thanks to Miguel and if you haven't heard his staggeringly accurate Yes bass covers, then you are missing out a great deal. See the links below to remedy that immediately. How did Chris Squire achieve 'that' sound for Tormato?What technology did he employ?Was the approach the same on every song on Tormato? Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

Paul K Joyce provided the orchestrations for a number of the songs on the record and worked closely with Steve Howe as producer. Paul takes us through the story of how this all came about as well as his Yes story and some of the remarkable and unexpected turns his career has taken. Prepare yourself to hear about Tangerine Dream, Noddy, Bob the Builder, Time by Steve Howe and more in a delightful interview. It's another deeply hidden part of the Yesstory and one which Mark and I enjoyed finding out about enormously. I hope you also find it an interesting diversion.

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week we decided to go really deeply into the technical weeds of Yes and look at an instrument which appears on Tormato and not very many other places in the musical universe. We are joined by the remarkable Chris Dale who has devoted many years of his life to collecting and renovating this, rarest of all musical instruments, the Birotron. We discuss what Rick Wakeman had to do with this fascinating story, what the Birotron is and why it was never put into production despite 1000 musicians wanting to buy one. It's another deeply hidden part of the Yesstory and one which Mark and I enjoyed finding out about enormously. I hope you also find it an interesting diversion. What is a Birotron?Where can you hear one?Why is it the rarest musical instrument in the world? Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

Produced by Wayne Hall, Jeffrey Crecelius and Preston Frazier In a truly epic episode, as is appropriate for the 500th, Mark and I present a competition and have the privilege and pleasure to speak to not one but two Yes keyboard legends - founder member, Tony Kaye and present band member, Geoff Downes. We talk to Tony about his recently-released and highly remarkable debut solo album, End of Innocence, as well as asking him some of the questions about Yes which have been keeping us up at night for years (well, not really). Geoff Downes discusses new studio album The Quest which is, of course, a must-hear interview and there are lots of audio messages from Producers, Patrons and friends of the show to enjoy. Miguel Falcao and David Pannell have very kindly provided brand new jingles and we think the episode is a fitting way to celebrate 10 years of the show. We hope you enjoy it! What was the inspiration for End of Innocence?Why has Tony only now created his first solo album?What is Steve Howe's production like on The Quest?How successful does Geoff Downes think the new record is?

Produced by Wayne Hall, Jeffrey Crecelius and Preston Frazier This week Mark and I embark on another 'what did they do next' quest. Once again we come to Rick Wakeman and what he did after leaving the band in 2005. So we discuss the next release from Mr. Wakeman which turns out to be a most unusual release, even for him. Take a listen below and then join in with our assessment of the package next week. Also, this week, you can't have failed to notice that Yes have released a second online single from the new album, The Quest. It's called Dare to Know and Marka nd discuss our first reactions to it in a special Two Pence. Let us know if you agree! What was Rick Wakeman doing in a cathedral?Can he even play the pipe organ?What is the new Yes song like?

Produced by Wayne Hall, Jeffrey Crecelius and Preston Frazier [Above] Photo of Scott by Jerry & Lois Photography This week I was able to speak to Scott Schorr about how he created the LEVIN TORN WHITE album. You may not know Scott's name but you're bound to have heard some music he has been involved with. Founder of record label and music publishing company, Lazy Bones Recordings, Scott describes himself as 'a successful Music Producer, Arranger, Songwriter, Beat Maker, Mixing Supervisor and Video Editor'. He has produced recordings for some people you might have heard of such as Jordan Rudess, Marco Minnemann and Mike Keneally as well as numerous albums by Tony Levin. If you haven't heard the LEVIN TORN WHITE album, then it's time to remedy that situation.

We listen to 6 of the songs we didn't know and we hear from listeners who left comments filling in details on some of the others. It was great fun and I think we both learned a lot.

Produced by Wayne Hall, Jeffrey Crecelius and Preston Frazier This week has been a little quieter in the land of social media and conspiracy theories - at least for Yes. So Mark and I decided to go through a Spotify playlist created by Yes official which is called Yes Not Yes. It includes lots of music which Yes members and alumni have been involved with over the years and it's a very interesting collection. Take a listen to what Mark and I have to say about the selection and then add a comment to the show notes for this episode to tell us what you know about the music that we clearly don't!

Produced by Wayne Hall, Jeffrey Crecelius and Preston Frazier I'm officially on leave but Mark and I had to comment on the storm around Ice Bridge Gate this week. If you haven't been on social media for some time you may have missed what happened so we aim to bring you up-to-speed on all the tortuous twists in this tale. Who wrote The Ice Bridge?Where did it come from?Why is a very similar tune on a 1980 film and Sale of the Century? Listen to the episode and let us know what you think! https://youtu.be/PbGEa7ju8bg https://youtu.be/BUW6lBS57Cc 1) Hi, in regard to my earlier tweet and to put the matter beyond any further debate…The Ice Bridge is sourced from a Francis Monkman composition “Dawn Of An Era” (Bruton Music) which I mistakenly assumed as being one of my own library pieces.— Geoffrey Downes (@asiageoff) July 27, 2021 https://twitter.com/asiageoff/status/1420007136751403011 Join us as a Patron!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlEKA2eEbwg Produced by Wayne Hall, Jeffrey Crecelius and Preston Frazier I had no time to do any news collation this week but I did have time to speak to the redoubtable Geoff Bailie and the equally impressive Mark Anthony K about what could have happened if the ill-fated Paris Sessions of 1979 had ended in a Yes album. I also invited Geoff to give is thoughts on the forthcoming new Yes album, The Quest. The Quest by Yes What was that music like?Was it worth finishing off?Would we have had Drama or 90125 or anything else from the band? Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

Produced by Wayne Hall, Jeffrey Crecelius and Preston Frazier This week there was some fairly significant Yes news - The Quest is the new studio album which will be released on 1st October 2021. Mark and I will be talking about this, as you can imagine, in our two pence later in the episode.

Produced by Wayne Hall, Jeffrey Crecelius and Preston Frazier This week I am officially on holiday from the day job but that didn't stop Mark and me discussing the next person in our What Did They Do Next series - it's Chris Squire.

Fly From Here DVD Produced by Wayne Hall, Jeffrey Crecelius and Preston Frazier This week Mark and I are delving deeply into a 5% for something topic so if you consider yourself a casual fan of the world's greatest progressive rock band you can either stick around and learn or save yourself a chunk of time by leaving now. I recommend you stay and become inducted into the mindset of the YMP enthusiasts. It's fun, or at least I've found it so for 10 years now. So assuming you are still with me, we will be diving into a comparison of two Yes albums, The Ladder and Fly From Here, based on our own, entirely arbitrary measures. Do let me know if you agree or disagree with our findings by commenting on the show notes for this week's episode or maybe opening your window and shouting for the world to hear - whichever you'd prefer. Which album is 'better'?What is the artwork like?What is the music and production like? Listen to the episode and let us know what you think! Join us as a Patron!

We have a chance to feed back on what we found out a little later and then we come together to discuss it all. There's also a rather important 2 pence where we discover quite a bit about the new Yes album. Stay tuned for all that.

Produced by Wayne Hall, Jeffrey Crecelius and Preston Frazier In a special, extra episode, I have the pleasure of talking to the man who helped Yes to transform their sound and approach in 1970, Steve Howe. He told us about his time in Asia and how the band got back together in 2007 with its original line-up which is featured on the latest release, Asia, The Reunion Albums, 2007-2012. We also had a chance to hear about the slightly different approach on Steve's latest Homebrew collection, which is to be released in July 2021. As always, it was a delight to speak to Steve, one of my all-time musical heroes. Let me know what you think of the interview.

Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall and Preston Frazier Jon Anderson Prog God 2016 Once again this week, Mark and I are looking at what did they do next. We have reached the Yes hiatus period from 2004 and we are using the opportunity unashamedly to examine what each of the 5 members of the band did in this interregnum. First, we will look at one of the Yes men who did really leave at this point, in fact, never to return, Jon Anderson. What did he get up to once he had recovered from total exhaustion at the end of the 35th Anniversary Tour? Listen on to find out. What was the Yes hiatus period??Which Yes men 'left'?What did they do?

Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall and Preston Frazier This week, Mark and I return to the surprisingly long series on what did Yes members do when they left the band. It’s Igor Khoroshev’s turn this time and, as you’ll hear it’s more than usually difficult to decide what he went onto next but we do have a go at it.

Those chaps from Arc of Life Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall and Preston Frazier This week Mark and I had a highly enjoyable conversation with Dave Kerzner about his position with Billy Sherwood, Jon Davison, Jay Schellen and Jimmy Haun in Arc of Life. We talk about what he would like the band to grow into and delve a little into his keyboard work with Geoff Downes and Tony Banks. It was a real pleasure to welcome Dave back onto the show.

Our live selection this week Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall and Preston Frazier After the sad news we shared last week about Phil Naro, Mark and I have decided to listen to parts of Yessongs this week and compare the performances with later live offerings.

Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall and Preston Frazier Tales From Topographic Oceans It’s been a week for thinking deeply...or maybe not. Anyway, Mark and I have been listening to the oft maligned sides 2 and 3 of Tales from Topographic Oceans which have not been played as often as sides 1 and 4. Why not I hear you cry. Or maybe I don’t. In any case, that’s what we will be banging on about in this episode Why abandon sides 2 and 3?Are they really that bad?What was it like to be an early audience member?

Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall and Preston Frazier This week we return to our occasional 'What did they do next' series and it’s Rick Wakeman’s turn again. After some fairly typical personal and legal upset, the band and Rick parted ways and there was to be no repeat of the Keys to Ascension positivity. This left Wakeman free to indulge other passions and so he ramped up one of his long-held ambitions - to return to the centre of the earth. Mark and I discuss this project a little later on and then next week we will report back on the music itself. What did Rick do this time he left?Was it a typically low-key affair?What was he going to 're-tread'? Listen to the episode and let us know what you think! Join us as a Patron!
