Imagine if Donald Lemkhul had been fully embraced and allowed to recite on multiple YES albums? A literary tangent to the songwritin' and ethos of the band?
Well. DBA have embraced Ashton-Bullock on past albums and in Live settin's. Quite like his poems and delivery. Let's face it as Dylan Thomas proved. You're only as good as your delivery. Follows in the footsteps of Blake and others, bemoanin' urbanisation and pollution and landlordism.
Love the cover. Even features the HALCYON HYMNS Blue Halcyon Kingfisher. Post-Pastoral? If England still has farms and villages, can you really say that? Anyway. Will seek out a copy and wonder how Ashton-Bullock will feature on Celestial Songs.
Time will tell. 😁
