This is a re-release of The Gourishankars debut album from 2003. Close Grip has been remastered and an extra song has been added. Ive listened very little to 2nd Hands which is their second and very praised album, but Close Grip sounds really good The music is very eclectic even though I was wondering at first why The Gourishankar was in that...

The great country duets of Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn, George Jones and Tammy Wynette, Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, and even the commercial country harmonies of the Judds, the Statler Brothers and the Gatlin Brothers, all owe a debt to one of the very foundations of American music, the close harmony While the fiddle was the most...

Rating: 9.7 Progressive rock has always gotten a bad rap in some circles, and looking at CDs like Tales From Topographic Oceans, its not hard to see why. Bloated, full of useless solos, and just generally giving off an aura of intellectual superiority, Tales and its ilk represent prog at its very pretentious worst. That said, one need only look...

Well well well... This one holds a particular place in my heart because it's the one which introduced me to prog : when I got into prog, I just said myself : This one looks nice, I'll buy it and see what it's like. God, I have never had a best idea in all my life. It changed everything : My way to listen to music, my way to play music, my way to...

I finally got off my lazy butt and listened to Close To The Edge, the song, in its entirety. Without falling asleep. Or dying....This is the first time I hear it, so you're getting a truthful review.The music on Close to the Edge is very symphonic with lots of beautiful mellotron and other vintage keyboards/ synths. Its actually one of the album...

Close to the Edge set a trend for Yes of structuring an album around a single epic song, significantly longer than the album's other tracks. Here the centerpiece is the song Close to the Edge. Later Yes albums that follow a similar pattern are Relayer (1974) (which features The Gates of Delirium) and Going for the One (1977) (which features...

Close to the Edge is one of the greatest albums of all time It features the showpiece title track that spans the entire vinyl length of side one, a masterstroke in its day that was repeated by many prog artists and continues to be used to this day, notably Mars Volta, Dream Theater, and Spocks Beard. Close to the Edge centers on the them of...
