(Since then post Lala.com faded, so there's no listenability now).<br /><br />http://milesoftrane.blogspot.com/2010/03/concept-album-wins-reprieve.htmlMilesOfTranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03019974312747546286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34883285.post-46528992324972138582010-11-29T17:55:13.678-06:002010-11-29T17:55:13.678-06:00@MilesOfTrane: Thank you for your comment!

I still enjoy much of it, though.<br /><br />@Sam: I will keep trying with Tales. Maybe one day it will click? I think we have had a mutual influence on each other: you now listen to Bob Dylan with enjoyment, apparently. And I see the new Neil Young album on your list. How do you like it? I kinda gave up on Neil years ago.<br /><br />@Ches (Smith, I presume?): let me know how, and I would be happy to send you a copy. I love the music, by the way!Rodger Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14447735420151521491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34883285.post-9382700824920361452010-11-29T10:23:44.823-06:002010-11-29T10:23:44.823-06:00Rodger! Thanks again for the kind words, even thou...Rodger! Thanks again for the kind words, even though some people (that is, my wife) consider my credibility permanently tainted because of my past love for Yes. I'm glad you've been able to open up your ears enough to dig into this stuff--you are an excellent role model for tolerance and open-mindedness when it comes to music, a lesson I should take to heart. I could say a lot more than I have time for here, but just one thing: I still think "Tales" is the best Yes ever--Howe's guitar solos are at their wonkiest, and Alan White grooves!<br /><br />Here's my list for last week:<br /><br />Playlist 2010-11-29<br /><br />*Air: 1979-06-25 Rome (CDR)<br />*Art Ensemble of Chicago: Urban Bushmen<br />*Art Ensemble of Chicago: 1980-08-31 Chicago Jazz Festival (CDR)<br />*Art Ensemble of Chicago: Live in Milano [Among the People]<br />*Anthony Braxton: 2006-06-10 Kerava, Finland (CDR)<br />*New Loft: 2010-11-18 Live at the Camel, Richmond VA (CDR)<br />*Animal Collective: 2007 NPR Live Concert Series (CDR)<br />*Animal Collective: 2009 Live on BBC 6 (CDR)<br />*Antlers: Hospice<br />*Beatles: Unsurpassed Broadcasts, 2nd ed.

I grew up completely worshiping the band as they always struck a perfect chord in my mind -- at least through Going for the One and to a lesser extent Tormato, the last of semblance of the true Yes. Go figure taste, huh? I posted a remembrance on my blog at http://milesoftrane.blogspot.com/2010/08/now-playing-close-to-edge.html. The other songs on your week's playlist are marvelous as well. Viva la the music of Coltrane. Regards.MilesOfTranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03019974312747546286noreply@blogger.com
