Yes new album in The Guardian

Why you should listen: Well, Yes are a pretty big deal in the prog-rock world. Although the band have gone through what feels like hundreds of line-up changes over the past 45 years, fans who’ve stuck around since then would do well to see what this new offering sounds like, fronted for the first time by Jon Davison.
It might not be for you if… You firmly believe Yes peaked in the 70s. Come on, what’s the band without Jon Anderson, Tony Kaye and Bill Bruford? Nothing, that’s what.
What we said: “At times, Heaven and Earth verges on the twee, and there's a distinct album-orientated rock flavour throughout, with only occasional flashes of the Yes of old,” wrote Tim Hall, in the Guardian.
Score: 3/5

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
