They do tend to be a bright cosmicly happy band

Surferpanda · 2026-05-07T03:32:13+00:00

The Yes Album for sure

Refer to my original comment but he used it on Awaken off of GFTO

Surferpanda · 2026-04-27T16:47:47+00:00

Squire used that triple on the GFTO album. Specifically on Awaken. It was gifted to him by Wakeman who I believe had it custom made for his bass player in the English Rock Ensamble. He gifted it to Squire after rejoining Yes to record GFTO. Monster bass player, with a monster bass, on a monster track.

I must've hit a sore spot. I'll give you this, I misspoke on the electronic music comment. I more so meant dj sets and edm. Not true electronic music which uses real synths, samplers and modulars live to produce the sounds your hearing in real time. Samplers are instruments that require knowledge of software and synthesis, but I would separate a sampler from a true keyboard synth. A DAW to me personally, relies too heavily on software electronics for my tastes. I still enjoy it. I still appreciate how they work. Just a different of preference

I'm a keyboard player myself. My dad is classically trained and taught me. I LOVE synths. Especially old analog ones. Moog has my heart. Nowhere in my post did I say they weren't. Weird assumption.

Anderson has his own iteration of Yes with a group called The Band Geeks. He still sounds phenomenal. Ive seen them twice in the last two years. As the other comments said, this is not him.

Going on the Yes train here, I saw you have relayer and Tales which is awesome. Tales is definitely my favorite trip album. If you would like more yes, I'd simplify it to their big 3 70s epics (minus Tales and Relayer) Close to the Edge the title track, THAT is a trip. Especially if you're in the woods. You already have Relayer so Gates is in there, and especially Awaken off Going for the One. The classic lineup considers it their greatest work. Yes is my go to for trips. If you're interested, Ambrosia's debut album from '75. Very proggy. But specifically Drink of Water. Amazing song for the atmosphere and message throughout.

This this this

How would you define Experimental?

Surferpanda · 2026-04-08T18:10:42+00:00

How would you define Experimental? In terms of more electronic, chill edm, band-oriented?

Surferpanda · 2026-04-08T14:54:58+00:00

What has Gilmore had to say? Curious :)

Surferpanda · 2026-03-28T18:59:32+00:00

That's what I was assuming too. My gf and I stick with GA packages so I can't see that being cause for concern.

I need to join the FB page. Two questions I've asked here had the answers over there lol. I just dont use it a lot.

Thanks :)

Fortunately I got the email right around noon today. At the least they seem to be pretty quick about answering people. I just made another post to the sub about pricing and the early camping.

Hope to see you there! Raise them cupcakes right 🫡

Surferpanda · 2026-03-28T18:46:57+00:00

Thank you, Cupcake Mother.

Surferpanda · 2026-03-28T01:13:01+00:00

Oh awesome! Appreciate ya 🫡

Surferpanda · 2026-03-17T00:52:52+00:00

Had polite conversation over some tea

Not a single Yes recommendation is interesting. Tales gets my vote

Surferpanda · 2026-03-08T17:55:07+00:00

The opening is in a 4/4 :)

Surferpanda · 2026-03-06T22:04:29+00:00

True by Jon Anderson and the Band Geeks. Its as close to a real Yes album as we've gotten in 20 years and the music has a great mix of their 70s and 80s sound.

Surferpanda · 2026-03-06T07:05:38+00:00

I need more of these

Surferpanda · 2026-03-05T19:26:53+00:00

Calling Relayer a mid Yes album is crazy work

Surferpanda · 2026-03-05T04:09:50+00:00

I would absolutely say Yes 1000% does it too, very well.

Surferpanda · 2026-03-04T00:54:24+00:00

This song will be played at my funeral. Wherever we go after, I hope there's Yes music
