Yes Progressive Rock!
I stumbled on a bizarre album on Spotify today which was made all the more intriguing by the fact I can't find *anything* about it on teh interwebz, other than people (including eMusic, iTunes and Amazon) flogging it. But even they don't have any reviews, making me wonder if anyone's ever listened to it.
The album is called "Yes Progressive Rock!" and appears to be a set of cover versions of songs from "Dark Side of the Moon" and "The Wall" performed largely by former members of Yes. It's from 2007.
Can anyone in the massive provide any background to the album? It's not that great, by the way.
A coveted support slot with Lisa Dominique
I'm spending a not insubstantial period of my life putting together an archive of all the lyrics of the great Half Man Half Biscuit - and yesterday I added the song Fretwork Homework which contains the verse:
We’re into the final of The Battle Of The Bands
And we’re gonna win ‘cos we’ve got the most fans
A day in the studio and two hundred quid
And a coveted support slot with Lisa Dominique
Now, my curiosity about Ms Dominique was piqued by this, but on investigation, I can't find any references to her since about 2002. I'm rather worried, because as any HMHB fan knows, a mention in a Nigel Blackwell song can very often lead to premature expiration. He seems to have that effect on many celebrities - the song Rod Hull is Alive - Why? being a particularly fine example, because he quite quickly wasn't.
So are you out there, Lisa Dominique?
