Title: Cruising with Yes
Post by: Natural Sound on March 10, 2013, 10:25:08 AM: Are there any other Bottleheads going on "Cruise To The Edge." Its a Caribean cruise with a progressive rock theme. Artists will include some of the biggest names of the 70's prog era. Yes, Steve Hackett (Genesis), UK, Carl Palmer and seven other bands. You can read more about it here. http://cruisetotheedge.com/ (http://cruisetotheedge.com/)

I cant wait!

Better hurry, I hear that the cruise is very close to selling out.

I just picked up Close to the Edge at 24/96 from HDTracks. I'm not sure that my ears would be able to tell the difference between the 96 and 192 sampling rates. Usually the big bang for the buck happens going from 16 to 24bit.

BTW If you plan on getting it make sure to use coupon code YES15 for a 15 percent discount. That's good until March 24th.

Tangerine Dream, Nektar, and so many others from the day -- really wish I could manage it.

I wonder if they'll have drug sniffing dogs?

Haven't seen Yes since the first time around with "Tales from Topographic Oceans" at Ga Tech (were you at that one Grainger?).
Whoever goes should be in for a hell of a treat!

They better not, especially after the ship stops in Jamaica. ;)

I went back and forth on whether or not I should spend the money on a trip like this. A week or so ago I decided, why not?

This is a treat for me. I usually don

Post by: Chris on March 12, 2013, 01:41:00 AM: Yes, this sounds incredible... I saw Yes at the Royal Albert Hall in London and occasionally would see Rick Wakeman strolling the streets with his cellphone in hand.. Gotta keep those fingers busy... JR, how does the QRP vinyl sound ? If you have any experience with it?

Post by: Jim R. on March 12, 2013, 06:46:23 AM: Hi Chris,

No, haven't bought the LP yet -- but I'm sure I will soon, though I'll probabaly get the download first.

I do have Fragile on re-issue LP but have not got my TT setup yet -- very soon though.

Post by: Chris on March 12, 2013, 10:59:35 AM: Haha Wax, dont worry , we got your gmorangie induced misspelling... :) (u know we luv ya) And thank you JR for your reply, i was just going to say now, that i am sorry to ask before i did my own search (dont want to waste your time with banal omong kosong) .. I just did an extensive look at QPR and , wow , thank you, for the heads up, they most defintely sound like MY vinyl "go to" for ULTRA special releases of my desert island discs...... in the final words of one of my favorite comedy movies of all time delivered by the (can be) extremely hilarious Ryan Reynolds... This Forum "IS THE S*** !!!!" sorry........ I would LOVE an Alaskan cruise with ALL of my Bottlehead Bros (and 1 sis, Deb K)...would be a real cool experience... Forget about the ridiculous band YES, we ALREADY have THE DOC on guitar, PAUL B on drums, Fullheadofnothing on bass and our VERY OWN SIR JOPPA on vocals!!!...... with Wax, 4krow and the Grainge in charge of the libations... could be the best cruise ever...... wadyaallthink?....
