Funilly enough, I was just listening to "TOTO" the day before this thread... brings back happy memories of living in the TM dorm at Goddard College(Vermont) in'74. This album is so wonderfully intense for me, sort of like "Jesus Christ Superstar" was for me in 11th grade-- very inspiring and uplifting... Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~--> Something is new at Yahoo!

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Inside Yes: poor Tales fans
Here's King Crimson, Live at Freyjus, from Spanish television performing "Waiting Man" (in MPEG-4 Quicktime format, H264 encoding). You can really hear the gamelan influence in this one. Drummers will love this, not just because it's Bill Bruford (of Yes), but because of his blending of electronic and acoustic drums:http://snipurl.com/t7t3-VU12G(very large, around 77 megs).

Pretty friggin' obscure. But it's still one of my all time favorite Yes albums. Despite the length of the songs it's still a great casual listen and still inspiring. Sublime lyrics. Yes rehearsed near where I grew up and I got to watch them in rehearsals from _Going for the One_ up till Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe. It was a great experience. Great band back then.I see you also mention King Crimson. If you haven't listened to any of the new Crim, from _Discipline_ and onwards, the new Crim is definitely worth a listen. Adrian Belew of Frank Zappa and Talking Heads fame is on lead vocal and guitar. This new version of Crim is inspired by the rhythmic counterpoint of Indonesian Gamelan orchestras where entire villages would sometime jam on these hammered instruments essentially tuned to one big open chord. I recommend _Discipline_, _Beat_ and _The Construcktion of Light_ as a starting point of the new KC. It's wild. If you like I can post some video I have. Also Adrian Belew's first band, The Bears _Rise and Shine_ is a classic as well as _The Acoustic Adrian Belew_. You'd probably also like the _California Guitar Trio_. Ever hear Beethoven's Fifth on guitar?Thanks for recommending Sufjan Stevens, his name keeps coming up so I got Illinoise today. It's great, thanks!-Vaj and thanks for the tip on the new King Crimson-- always really liked them- bought 'in the court of the crimson king' recently because I liked it so much when originally released. Sounds like a great experience seeing Yes, also one of my favorite bands back then- really liked the album art. ...and Procol Harum too, though they just sort of faded away, except for Robin Trower who did a couple albums in the 80's I think...
