IN EXTREMIS

It's a very good album and highly recommended. But I don't find myself listening to it time on end...it tends to bore me a bit. Still, well written, well played and well produced. Bob Drake's "This Wierd Wind" is a direct and fitting tribute to Awaken or Relayer era YES. I just don't have a lot to say about it other than it is good and it's worth checking out this riff-fest. It pales somewhat when compared to some of the RIO classics of the past (shall we call it Neo-RIO?). The 5uu's (Drake and Kerman's other band) are much better, at least from what I've heard of them (Hunger's Teeth).
