-=> From what I recall, Martin Ridgley said this to Lorne Murphy <=-
MR> And I'm certainly not slagging Wakeman. He's a great keyboard
MR> player. But I think he tends to be over-rated, partly because of his
MR> flamboyance. He seems to me to be more of an individualist than a
MR> band-oriented musician.
I certainly see this point, and he didn't really have a lot of
writing credits, he was used more for color. But I appreciate his
style more than Emerson's.
MR> Hmmm... I didn't know that. Was Wakeman on it? Or Moraz? Or
MR> both?
_Yesshows_? Both. Moraz is on "Gates of Delirium", Wakeman's on
everything else.
MR> Hmmmm.... I didn't know that. Bruford and Moraz certainly seem to
MR> work well together.
Yes, they do, absolutely. BTW, may I recommend _Fish out of water_
as the *lost* Yes album? If you haven't heard it, please race out
and buy it if possible. I consider it the lost Yes album in the
same way I consider _Voyage of the Acolyte_ to be the lost Genesis
album.
MR> I've got _Timecode_. What's _Mainhorse_, though?
Mainhorse was the first (I believe) band he was in. I only know of
one album he appeared on, _Mainhorse_ from 1972.
