Knew it had to be Randy Bachman on vocals even before I looked them up!
Never heard of this particular outfit before, though. Perhaps I
should have! Really hits the spot for me today, so...
9/10
(I kind of thought you were a
little hard on that Yes track, however. Hey, I'm certainly not denying that
Union was a debacle. But if I
may play devil's advocate, I think the Rabin lineup's tracks hold up a lot better than the ABWH numbers. The reason for this, of course, is that they were probably far less interfered with than the ABWH tracks. The ABWH tracks, on the other hand, were the victim of so much futzing about with the addition of additional studio musicians, and you can absolutely tell that there was a decision made at a corporate level to push those tracks into sounding more like the Rabin lineup! Just listen to the original demo version of
Dangerous and then the album version, and you'll see what I mean! Now,
Miracle Of Life, on the other hand... One of my all-time favorite Yes "deep cuts"! Rises quite elegantly above the morass of the rest of
Union, IMHO...)
