For Immediate Release Unreleased Greg Lake & Geoff Downes Album For Immediate Release Unreleased Greg Lake & Geoff Downes Album “Ride The Tiger” To Be Released November 27th London, UK- Much to the excitement of music aficionados worldwide, an unreleased album by legendary GREG LAKE & GEOFF DOWNES titled “RIDE THE TIGER” will finally see the light of day on November 27, 2015! Greg Lake is the co-founder of KING CRIMSON and EMERSON LAKE AND PALMER (ELP), and wrote the hit “LUCKY MAN” and co-wrote “I BELIEVE IN FATHER CHRISTMAS”. Geoff Downes is the keyboardist in THE BUGGLES, ASIA and YES, and co-wrote the hits “VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR” and “HEAT OF THE MOMENT”. “Ride the Tiger” contains six songs which the duo wrote together - one went on to became an ASIA song and two became ELP songs. Four of these tracks had been released on compilations before, but this is the FIRST TIME they have been collected together with TWO PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED tracks PLUS one alternate mix. “To be honest I thought that these recordings had simply disappeared off the radar until one of my management team Daniel Earnshaw reminded me of their existence. My initial reaction was not entirely positive as I generally view many of these re-releases to be a bit tiresome, however, upon hearing these recordings again I immediately identified their value, both in terms of song writing and of musicianship and production. Geoff, of course, is a masterful musician with an instinctive ability to maximise the potential of any song both as a player and as an arranger. His contribution to these recordings is clear for all to see and for me it was a real pleasure to reflect upon our friendship together both personally and as musicians.” - Greg Lake “One of the privileges of my career has been the opportunity to embrace a number of bespoke projects with some of the world’s greatest musicians. Greg Lake, of course was at the forefront of the progressive revolution, lead vocalist and bassist with both King Crimson and ELP, bands which literally changed the world, pushing boundaries of excellence and creativity, creating a brand new musical genre from London which would soon captivate the planet. This collection of songs represents a particularly creative period in my life. I’m delighted that Greg and I have rekindled our friendship, and worked together again in order to share this collection with you.” – Geoff Downes Track Listing: 1. MONEY TALKS 2. LOVE UNDER FIRE 3. AFFAIRS OF THE HEART 4. STREET WARS 5. CHECK IT OUT 6. BLUE LIGHT 7. LOVE UNDER FIRE (ALTERNATE MIX) Amazon CD: http://geni.us/1UEo Amazon Digital: http://geni.us/34nB Cherry Red: http://shop.cherryred.co.uk/shopexd.asp?id=5241 Greg Lake's official website: www.greglake.com Geoff Downes official website: www.geoffdownes.com Press inquiries: Glass Onyon PR, PH: 828-350-8158 (USA), [email protected] .

  • Resolution May/June 08 V7.4.Indd
    craft Horn and Downes briefl y joined legendary prog- rock band Yes, before Trevor quit to pursue his career as a producer. Dollar and ABC won him chart success, with ABC’s The Lexicon Of Love giving the producer his fi rst UK No.1 album. He produced Malcolm McLaren and introduced the hitherto-underground world of scratching and rapping to a wider audience, then went on to produce Yes’ biggest chart success ever with the classic Owner Of A Lonely Heart from the album 90125 — No.1 in the US Hot 100. Horn and his production team of arranger Anne Dudley, engineer Gary Langan and programmer JJ Jeczalik morphed into electronic group Art Of Noise, recording startlingly unusual-sounding songs like Beat Box and Close To The Edit. In 1984 Trevor pulled all these elements together when he produced the epic album Welcome To The Pleasuredome for Liverpudlian bad-boys Frankie Goes To Hollywood. When Trevor met his wife, Jill Sinclair, her brother John ran a studio called Sarm. Horn worked there for several years, the couple later bought the Island Records-owned Basing Street Studios complex and renamed it Sarm West. They started the ZTT imprint, to which many of his artists such as FGTH were signed, and the pair eventually owned the whole gamut of production process: four recording facilities, rehearsal and rental companies, a publisher (Perfect Songs), engineer and producer management and record label. A complete Horn discography would fi ll the pages of Resolution dedicated to this interview, but other artists Trevor has produced include Grace Jones, Propaganda, Pet Shop Boys, Band Aid, Cher, Godley and Creme, Paul McCartney, Tina Turner, Tom Jones, Rod Stewart, David Coverdale, Simple Minds, Spandau Ballet, Eros Ramazzotti, Mike Oldfi eld, Marc Almond, Charlotte Church, t.A.T.u, LeAnn Rimes, Lisa Stansfi eld, Belle & Sebastian and Seal.

  • The Royal Affair Tour: Live from Las Vegas
    Yes – The Royal Affair Tour: Live From Las Vegas (75:20, CD, 2 LP, Download, BMG/Warner) Schon wieder ein Live-Album von Yes? Seit dem Jahr 2014 ist dies nun die bereits sechste Live- Veröffentlichung bei der Yes drauf steht, sodass eine gewisse Reizüberflutung zu verzeichnen ist. Sind dennoch Gründe erkennbar, sich noch ein weiteres Live-Werk zuzulegen, auch wenn man kein „Die-Hard Fan“ der Band sein sollte? Fakt ist, das zum x-ten Mal Tracks wie ‚Starship Trooper‘, ‚Siberian Khatru‘, ‚Roundabout‘ oder ‚I’ve Seen All Good People‘ dargeboten werden, die in früheren Besetzungen mit mehr Verve und besseren solistischen Können ertönen. Immerhin sind Kompositionen wie das Richie Havens-Cover ‚No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed‘ von der zweiten Yes- Veröffentlichung, sowie zwei weitere Coverversionen mit ‚Imagine‘ von John Lennon sowie ‚America‘ von Paul Simon dabei, die bisher seltener auf einem Live-Medium zu hören sind. Das Konzert wurde am 26. Juli 2019 im Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas während der „The Royal Affair Tour“ aufgenommen und von Billy Sherwood gemixt. Yes sind aktuell Steve Howe (Gitarre), Alan White (Schlagzeug), Geoff Downes (Keyboards), Sänger Jon Davison sowie Billy Sherwood, der nach dem Tod von Gründungsmitglied und Bassist Chris Squire im Jahre 2015 den Bass übernahm. Außerdem wird Jay Schellen im Booklet als Yes- Musiker aufgeführt, der das Schlagzeugspiel live wesentlich bereichert. Ein Gründungsmitglied ist bei Yes inzwischen nicht mehr an Bord, womit der dienstälteste Yesser Steve Howe, der 1971 auf dem „Yes Album“ die Gitarre für Peter Banks übernahm, das Zepter übernommen hat. Als Gast hört man die Moody-Blues-Legende John Lodge, der sich auf ‚Imagine‘ den Gesang mit Jon Davison teilt.
