New Fernando Perdomo soundtrack with Wakeman + Downes

[bondegezou]

The first single, "The Crash", can be heard now and is rather nice. The full soundtrack is released later this month. More details at http://www.bondegezou.co.uk/wnyesm.htm#perdomo

Thank you, Henry. Sounds very good so far.

Fernando should be a household name. He's that good and entertaining. Acts a bit crazy on stage at times which certainly doesn't diminish his fine playing and composition skills. I believe he produces as well. He shouldn't have been a bit dismissive when I told him years back he was a phenomenal guitarist when he was at a festival of other very good guitarists. Wish he can get to the point where he loses his signature hat while performing.

Last caught him on a very good documentary on musicians and music in the sixties and early seventies in a canyon in California, hosted by Jakob Dylan, where he performs with Dylan and band, called Echo in the Canyon. Well worth watching even if it's Bob Dylan's son.

Cool track. Atmospheric. Sinister synthesizers!!!! 😍

Wakeman is now regularly on more albums with Geoff Downes than he is with Jon Anderson or Trevor Rabin...

Are you suggestin' a new bromance? 😉

Definitely not. AFAIK they don't play together on any tracks.

Their parts are probably recorded in their own studios and then emailed in.

Gilly used a big, obvious wink there.

I did. I really am a silly sausage!

[Grey Wolf]

I dunno, maybe a Wakeman/Downes album would be awesome.

Not obvious to me as the new small emojis are not very clear on my MacBook. The old ones were bigger, clearer and therefore better.

Geoff has said in interviews that he was a fan of Rick's. Then he replaced Oliver after Horn forced him out.

Oliver's unmerited sacking, along with Yes's treatment of Anderson, really upset Rick.

So we got ARW which was much better IMHO than Howe and Downes' tribute band (to use Rick's description).

But ARW ended 3 years ago and none of the three have continued working with another of the three (that we know of). Yet we have multiple albums featuring both Wakeman and Downes (albeit on separate tracks)!

I kind of want a Downes Wakeman album


I also want a Rabin Howe album but that will never happen either

And now Rabin's going to be playing with Davison and Sherwood?

Fernando Perdomo will be there too.
