Anderson, Wakeman,Bruford, Rabin to reunite??

According to the latest Classic Rock Presents Prog magazine, Trevor Rabin is reuniting with Jon Anderson, Rick Wakeman and Bill Bruford to record an album. Apparently Rick Wakeman mentioned this on his Planet Rock show. There is no news of a bass player yet.

I'd love to hear some more about this; thanks for the heads up.

Here's another link for anyone interested:

Seems pretty interesting: Wakeman and Bruford with Rabin, that's something to hear.

I am competely sure this Jon and Rick's plan of vengeance on Chris and Steve... and also read on www.rockserwis.pl that Bruford claims, that if it is going to happen he wants to be involved.

I like the idea. Anderson could have persuaded Bruford once again. He's done i before. I don't think Bruford would step back if Rabin would be the guitar player. Rabin and Wakeman are good friends. To me it still sounds like a rumour, but I would like it if it would really happen. Not that Rabin is one of my favorite composers, except for the 90125 album, but still... it would be cool in some way. Apart from the quarrels of course.

Ok Ok...I heard this.....RRReeeeaaallllyyy,

1.       Bruford announced his retirement months ago.

2.       Anderson was seriously sick and had to stop working for much longer that he and all actual members of Yes expected.

3.       The fight between Anderson and Yes members are nothing but rumors and speculation.

Anderson's revenge projects have turned out pretty well in the past.  If you heard the Anderson/Wakeman tour, I'm sure you'll agree.  Levin would be so cool here, but we'll prob be stuck with Berlin if this actually comes to fruition.

Anything that happens with any line-up should at least be interesting, and at best may be quite good. Let's just wait and see what happens. Perhaps we'll get lucky ?

I'm excited about that new Asia album more than a new Yes album, I've heard Keystudio, The Ladder and Magnification and I am less and less impressed with post-80s Yes with every album. More of the same overly-bright and optimistic complex but boring mindless groove and weird otherworldly vocals. I like the majority of Yes' work, but seriously... And really, while I like what I've heard of Rabin's work with Yes (haven't heard Union or Talk) and Rabin's solo stuff, I really am dubious about Rick Wakeman, whose playing just sounds silly and over the top all the time, (one reviewer says "he sat contented on the stage making blow-bottle noises" what a damning indictment). Wakeman had some novel albums in the 70s, I actually like Journey to The Center of the Earth, but his hundreds of albums since then... crap, a few easy, if quirky listening bits as highlights. Jon Anderson's voice annoys me. I haven't heard ABWH, but what difference does a shift from White to Bruford matter? They're just drummers.
