            The above albums were released by the Magna Carta label and all three
    feature the Magna Carta bands:

    Shadow Gallery
    Magellan
    Enchant
    Cairo
    World Trade

            There are other bands on each CD as well. I don't have the Genesis
    one, so I can't give you the list for that CD, but here's the info for the
    other CDs:

    "The Moon Revisited" -- The Tribute to Pink Floyd includes (in addition to the
    above bands) Robert Berry, Dark Side of the Moon, and Billy Sherwood. The
    CD is a remake of "Dark Side of the Moon" and is well done, but it's too
    close to the original for my tastes. The "Great Gig in the Sky" rendition
    is fantastic though (which surprised me).

    "Tales From Yesterday" -- The Tribute to Yes includes (in addition to the
    Magna Carta bands) Steve Morse, Robert Berry, Kevin Gilbert (in Stanley
    Snail), Steve Howe (guests on two songs), Annie Haslam, Patrick Moraz,
    Peter Banks, and Adam Wakeman (Rick's son) in Jeronimo Road.

            I think that "Tales From Yesterday" is superb. A number of the
    songs would be good even if you didn't know the original. Some are a
    close tribute to the original, while others add a modern sound or otherwise
    differ while still retaining the sense of the original. Extremely well
    done. If you like Yes or the Magna Carta bands, get it.

            I'm not sure how good the Genesis CD is -- but I intend to get it.

                                    Steve
