    Greetings ye 'jamanoids....

    >>To the guy who posted saying that Jarzombek was a founding member

    >>That's not quite true. The original guitarist was another ferocious

    >This is the same Billy White that was recruited to play on Don Dokken's

    >dual trade-off licks...

    And also the same Billy White who's currently left all music behind him,
    from what I hear. Last I heard, White has not only left the music business
    completely, but has gone into a religious calling and won't even touch a
    guitar anymore. Never can tell what sort of stuff people are going to get
    into, can you? :)

    Cheers,
    Phil

    Hi

    A question for YES fans !

    I've the following CD's :

    Close To The Edge (remastered)
    Fragile (remastered)
    Tales From Yesterday - A Tribute To Yes
    Keys To Ascension I
    Keys To Ascension II

    My questions is, which Yes album should I buy next ?
    Which other Yes albums are a must have ?
    What about "Union" ?

    Thank you in advance.

    Chris Cornell sang backup and cowrote two songs on Cooper's
    "Last Temptation," "Stolen Prayer" (I think that's the name of it.
    It's the ballad anyway) and "Unholy War." Both great songs. I
    seem to remember hearing a version of one or both of these songs
    on a Soundgarden single as B-Sides, too, but I could be way wrong
    on that. Anyway, I totally dig his voice. Badmotorfinger is one of
    my favourite workout CDs :).

    I would say stick with the older stuff, if you really like it, since it's
    considered the to be Yes's classic stuff in terms of "proginess".
    (Proginess?) But regardless, by "The Yes Album" next. Note: the first
    three releases of the band are "Yes", "Time and a Word", and "The Yes
    Album". Confusing similar names on the first and third album. Get the
    third album. Steve Howe's first with the band, it's where they really
    start to attain their classic sound, even though Wakeman isn't with them
    yet. Next, I would say pick up "Going for the One", recorded after Wakeman
    returned, and then pick up "Relayer", which is brilliant but a bit
    different. It's from the point between "Tales of the Topographic Oceans" -
    after Wakeman left - and his return with "Going..." Then I would suggest
    "Tales...", which is a double concept album, but it's not very accessible.
    If you can find time to buy "Talk" in there...it was released in the early
    90s. Trevor Rabin on guitar...hell, Trevor Rabin pretty much on
    everything. But lots of prog-metal fans seem to find "Talk" as the most
    accessible Yes album. I believe it's out of print, but you might have some
    luck at cut-out bins, etc...

    Good luck

    It was released as part of the mini CD provided in the first run of the
    Japanese FII. I think that something like the first 10K CDs in Japan
    received this mini CD as a bonus. The version of TAMP was the original
    version without the "Club Kokomo" percussion of FII (that ruins the song for
    me). It also included Speak To Me !!

    >> Steve Gadd (not very prog drummer at all but who cares?)

    YIKES !!!!!!! I have to disagree with this 100%. Unfortunately, being sort
    of a "session drummer", he gets placed in a variety of situations, not all
    of which are conducive to showing his talent.

    Some of Steve's best work was with Chick Corea during Chick's mid-late 70's
    time period. Get Chick Corea's "Friends" album and put on the last track
    "Cappuccino". And realize that this album was done on one take. Jaw
    dropping drum work. Even for more popular music (Steely Dan's "Aja") I dont
    feel that one can say "not very prog".

    Rob Zombie collaborated with Alice for the album

    The song is called 'Hands of Death'.

    Alice recorded 'Because' by the Beatles with the

    The song that you are thinking of is 'Stolen Prayer'
    off of the "Last Temptation" album. Derek was the
    keyboardist for this album.

    Hope this helps.

    Guitar: Me. 'Cuz my ego's just that damn big. Deal with it.
    Vocals: Chris Cornell--best voice of any mainstream 90's band.
    Drums: Stewart Copeland
    Bass: John Paul Jones--he could also arrange.
    Piano: That piano playing Marx brother--I always forget his name, but he kicks
    ass. He's so cool.

    I have no idea just what this group would play, of course...

    Relayer. Relayer. Relayer. Did I say relayer? You could also go for the Yes
    album, if it isn't in your list. I would avoid union right now. Going for
    the One is another cool CD, and you might want to try 90125 or an Evening
    of Yes Music. Actually, Union has some cool tracks on it, but I would avoid
    right now and wait. I would also pass on Tales from Topographic oceans for
    right now, it is a tremendous amount of material to try to digest and there
    are much better discs out there. I would also recommend Yes Songs and Yes
    Shows. Those are the 2 Yes live albums from the 70s. That is all.

    Hotline is a GREAT program. I highly recommend it to everyone. Period.

    For those of you who have hotline already, or plan to get it, I run a
    hotline server. Find me on the tracker... It's called DarkHarmony's MP3.
    It's on a static IP, so be sure to bookmark it.

            That is correct. the person asked if there were any promos out
    with TAMP on it, and there isn't (as far as I know). The first edition of
    the Jap FII did come with the 3" with the two songs mentioned above.

    That was actually something I did consider. It raises another question
    though... When is it the right time to make the final, this is it... no more
    no way is it gonna get any better than this shit... Remaster? If you do it
    too soon then in a few months you could have done it better, and if you
    continue to wait then you never get it done at all!

    I guess you cant help but feel like you've been a little gipped (sp?) when
    you have to go and replace your entire Rush cd collection that replaced your
    "Ultimate Rush on Vinyl" collection with yet another round of full price
    remastered acquisitions...

    >You don't have a problem with opening your hard drive on the net?

    not really... since the computer I use for these purposes is not one that
    will devestate me if it goes down. I'd just start all over. Of course... if
    your using your computer for business purposes or its imperative that your
    computer be reliable and ready to use at a moments notice you shouldn't be
    fooling with this kind of shit anyways.

    Take the same philosophy that many business' take in regards to the
    internet. Don't let anything that you would mind being hacked ever get
    hooked up to the internet. Keep that vital computer you use to keep all your
    records and one of a kind files (which you should backup of course) away
    from playing on the internet. If you can....

    >Any file sharing you allow online, especially in the mp3 trading community
    >is really a disaster waiting to happen.

    I wasnt necessarily advocating the kind of illegal mp3 trading that goes on
    with lots of korn, mettalica and top40 stuff but more of a trading between
    friends sort of idea. for example if there is someone on the Ytsejam that
    wants to hear a mp3 of a new band that been coming up again and again then
    someone could email that person up and say "next time I'm online you can
    access that file from me".

     I'd be willing to bet that
    >there's someone who's already found a way around the safeguards on this
    >software and can really mess your shit up. Be wary.

    There's always risk involved.... thats part of the fun.

    good idea but this has been around for a while. it's called FTP servers.
    Dr. Mosh has one. i have one. as do many people. I hgaven't tried
    hotline, but what i udnerstand it adds is the built-in chatting. But i
    dont see why you can't just have an ftp server running, and then AOL IM or
    IRC or ICQ or whatever your chatting software of choice is running at the
    same time. Then your files are still available when you log off of the
    chat (but of course you can shut down the ftp server if you want to make
    them not available). as far as ftp servers, the one i reccommend is the
    War FTP Daemon. It's freeware and yet is one of the best ones i've tried.
    You can incorporate ratios, block or allow only certain IP's, easily set
    up intricate file access rules, etc. You can get it at Tucows
    (http://www.tucows.com/). Moo.
