Well, Chris Squire's solo album is probably my favorite Yes solo album, so I will definitely try to be on the lookout...if only my memory wasn't so terrible...

This is my first post.
I think this project is interesting in several ways. For example, I think it is a nice path for old musicians, to either reform old bands OR to form complete new ones, instead of milking a dying cow, so to speak. More of this. You don't HAVE to stick to a winning horse, always and forever
Thanks.

To clarify some confusion, Gary Husband has e.mailed me this:
Regarding the subjects you mentioned, The Syn for me was only ever going to be a "stand-in" situation and I was never part of the band as it is officially and on their new album. I was simply enlisted for the tour... which didn't end up happening anyway!! That's the scoop there. I still might get asked if their regular drummer (Jeremy Stacey) is busy doing something else, so... it's pretty much left like that. I'm just a dep.
But doesn't answer the question: why was It Bites' Francis Dunnery another name in the frame, and like Gary Husband included in press-release photos of the anticipated touring Syn ?

I posted on this subject last week, just after I'd heard The Syn's version of "Time And A Word" on Stellar Attraction Prog Rock Radio.
That track absolutely blew me away! So much so that I got straight on line and bought the album "Original Syn". It's a double that features one disc of the old Syn stuff, and one disc of new or reworked tracks. Although I haven't even received this yet, I'm already looking forward to Monday(31st), when the new CD "Syndestructible" will be released.
Somebody needs to do the appropriate business and get this band on the Prog Archives website!!

Oh man. I have seen threads about The Syn at the YesFans forums, but I always skipped them, figuring it was people discussing the old Syn. I had no idea.
Thanks for the tip. I will now seek out some new Syn.

The Syn was something like pre - Yes, featuring Pete Banks and Chris Squire. Maybe Chris should once again go to La Chasse and meet Jon - we will at last have new Yes album!! History repeating itself?

heard the clips, sounds very good, I had never heard Syn, is this what the original stuff was like?
The music sounds very much like Chris Squire, and I can hear influences from Fish out of the water..which I love.
Also proves for once and for all that Chris is one of the greatest Bass players
Looking forward to this one.

The vocals definitely are similar to early Gabriel.
And the quality of the music seems to be much higher than Squire's recent Conspiracy side projects, which were more mainstream.
