687 - Deep Cuts outside Yes

·1 hr 1 min·3 clips

Rick Wakeman's 2003 album Out There features Damian Wilson, Lee Pomeroy, Tony Fernandez, and 'The Mission.'

1. Yes Music Podcast episode 687 focuses on deep cuts outside Yes. 2. Kevin Mulrine hosts with co-host Mark-Anthony Kaye, and their Yes fandom matters because both have shelves of Yes-related records. 3. The episode asks which solo or side-project tracks by Yes musicians deserve attention beyond the main band. 4. Kevin says he and Mark searched their memory banks and shelves for lesser-known songs from Yes-related records. 5. Mark opens with Billy Sherwood's World Trade and the track 'The Revolution Song.' 6. He says casual Yes fans should get into 'The Revolution Song' even if they do not know World Trade. 7. Mark points to Keith Olsen's production on the World Trade album. 8. He hears Yes-like harmonized backing vocals and Trevor Rabin-like guitar work in the track. 9. Kevin then turns to Sin's 'Cathedral of Love' from Sin's Destructible. 10. He traces Sin's early history through Steve Nardelli, Chris Squire, Peter Banks, and later reunion lineups. 11. Kevin says 'Cathedral of Love' runs nine minutes and flows directly into and out of other songs on side one. 12. He describes Chris Squire bass, flute, oboe, sitar, Hammond organ, and acoustic guitar in the arrangement. 13. The song's guitar solo starts grungy and then turns bluesy, which Kevin links to the band's 1960s roots. 14. Kevin also notes the lyrics' repeated angel imagery and the line 'everyone needs a little help sometimes.' 15. Mark next defends Patrick Moraz's Time Code and the song 'Life in the Underworld.' 16. He names Bill Bruford on Simmons drums and calls the digital-telephone lyric tacky but fitting. 17. Mark's tone is argumentative and enthusiastic, while Kevin's style is more explanatory and discursive. 18. The episode moves like a recommendation exchange with side notes about record collectors, vinyl editions, and streaming. 19. Listeners who like obscure Yes-related albums, prog archivists, and record collectors will get the most from it. 20. Listeners wanting tight pop-song recommendations or no collector talk may skip it.
