Prog trawling

I've been trawling for prog this weekend and discovered a number of items including a video of Tony Kaye & Billy Sherwood during their Japan Tour 2011 Live From THE BOTTOM LINE NAGOYA - the whole concert here. I'm quite pleased with finding that.

 Also, Sherwood has another band called Circa with Tony Kaye and originally Alan White on drums (of course) and they have released three albums. Circa has a Youtube channel with samples of their stuff including parts of a 40 minute Yes retrospective - bits from every period of Yes's 40 year history including some less common music from Tormato as well as the new stuff. I also found that Sherwood is up to his fifth solo album (clearly I haven't been paying attention). The Youtube retrospective is to be found in its entirety on the Circa Live DVD (available on their website nowhere near you). Some of the Live music is available for download from the evil Apple iTunes people.

Then I discovered there is a live CD of the Yes album Union on amazon.co.uk.While I know many people think it appalling, I quite like bits of it. Also I regard it fondly because I remember coming across it in a huge Mall totally unexpectedly and it relieved my feeling that prog was dead.

And then I discovered there is something odd going on with Steve Hackett and Camino records and I have missed three CDs: Live Rails, Out of the Tunnel's Mouth with a bonus CD and the most recent Beyond the Shrouded Horizon a double CD. I am almost but not quite progged out.

Glass Hammer has a new CD coming out: Cor Cordium with the same crew as the last one. I may have to have a little rest now.
