Interview with Ray Bennett from 2013

Interview with Ray Bennett from 2016

This double disc set is quite cool. It includes a sampling of songs from several Peter Banks albums, but there are also a number of previously un-released or nearly un-released cuts, too.

This is an excellent book in many ways. First, it’s a quick read – partly because it’s not all that long and partly because it’s written in such a way that it flows really well.

Yes seldom do anything in a small way when it can be done in an epic manner. 

Peter Banks was the original guitarist in Yes, formed the band Flash after that, and created solo music for years, in addition to other projects like his Empire band.

Ant-Bee is basically the pseudonym for Billy James. 

This is quite a cool set. The main man behind this is Billy Sherwood, and I always like the stuff he does.

Cleopatra Records loves doing these tribute albums, typically with Billy Sherwood in charge.

This box set is a class act. The whole thing comes in something that resembles a book. 

I've always loved Peter Banks' guitar work. This album has a lot of great guitar work, but it doesn't stop there.

I have always been a big fan of the Meddle album. As this documentary says, the disc is often sort of forgotten.

Colin Carter is probably best known as the lead singer in the progressive rock band Flash. This is his new solo album.

I've been looking to do a retro review of this box set for a while. I finally had the opportunity this time around.

This is the third (and final) album included in the new box set from Peter Banks titled "The Self-Contained Trilogy." This instrumental album is classy.

This album from Peter Banks is perhaps not his strongest solo set. That said, it has some very strong material. At times it seems to lack direction and get a bit on the wandering side.

I am a big fan of pretty much anything Billy Sherwood is involved with and I love Supertramp, so when I heard Sherwood was in charge of assembling an all star tribute to Supertramp, I was excited.

You might be familiar with Peter Banks from his time in the early incarnation of Yes or perhaps from his work in Flash. This was an improvisational band that he played with in the early parts of the 21st Century.

What an amazing set this is.

For hardcore Yes fans, this is a real treasure.

This set is a rehearsal tape. That said, the band set up in a studio to start working on material that was to be an album.

It could be said that Mabel Greer's Toyshop became Yes. In fact, that's essentially what happened.

This new three-CD set is a classy thing. It includes three full albums from Peter Banks (arguably best known for his time in both Yes and Flash).

This 35th Anniversary collection of Yes shares a lot of material with other compilations of theirs.

There have been a few books written about the band, Yes but this one really includes the involvement of many of the members of the group through extensive interviews. 

So, this solo album from Peter Banks was released on CD in 2009.

I like The Who quite a bit. I mean, they aren’t one of my favorite bands, but I do really like them.

I’m sure some would make the argument that we don’t need another Yes compilation album.
