Notes: Mellow Records have done large numbers of these prog tributes
with various lesser known bands; the surprise is that it's taken
them this long to do Yes. As an Italian label, most of the acts are
Italian, but there is international representation as well. (1) is
also on The Samurai of Prog's debut album, Undercover: between being
recorded and now, guest vocalist Jon Davison joined Yes. Other Yes
connections include Jay Tausig (15), who has worked with Billy
Sherwood, and David Speight (on 22), who has worked with Pete Banks.
Originally, a 3CD release was promised and some additional acts were
listed as to be involved, including Goad ("I'm Waiting"), Coscienza
di Zeno ("Homeworld"), Roz Vitalis ("Yours is No Disgrace"), The
Pravednicks' Band ("Awaken") and Mojo Pojo ("Close to the Edge").
The final result is a mixed bag. Some stick closer to the originals
(like Yessongs), others depart in signifcant ways, so Vicarelli
performs "Mood for a Day" on piano, while Yesterdays re-work and
expand "White Car" and throw in a bit of The Buggles' "Video Killed
the Radio Star". (HP, 26 Jun 12)
