Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius

This week it’s the first part of our next – and presumably last…maybe…what did they do next featuring the 2011-ish departure of keyboardist and true gentleman of prog, Oliver Wakeman. Mark and I discuss how and why Oliver left the band and what he did next in collaboration with another giant of the music world. We set you a task to listen to that project before next week’s episode, just like we will be doing and if you already know what we are talking about, please do leave your comments on the show notes for this week and we will try and include as many as possible in the episode next time.

  • What were the circumstances around Oliver Wakeman’s exit from the band?
  • Was it a smooth process?
  • What did he do next?

Oliver Wakeman’s Tales – 508

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius

It was a great pleasure to welcome back to the show former Yes keyboard player and prolific solo artist, Oliver Wakeman.

We asked him about some of his latest releases including Dark Fables, Tales From Gaslight and his soundtrack to Yendor.

It was particularly interesting to hear recollections of working with original Yes guitarist Peter Banks and Oliver also shared some remarkable tales from his Yes days including what happened when he first joined the band in Canada, what Chris Squire said to him and something to do with sellotaping two keyboard pedals together…

  • Was Oliver’s entry to the band smooth and straight-forward?
  • What was Peter Banks like to work with?
  • Why does Oliver keep coming back to epic structures and story-telling in his music?

Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

In this second part of our look at what Steve Howe did next, Mark and I listen to his solo album, Spectrum.

It includes contributions from Tony Levin, Dylan Howe, Virgil Howe and Oliver Wakeman and features many fabulous examples of Steve’s virtuosity and versatility.

  • How does this rank among Steve’s solo albums?
  • What are the contributions of the ‘guests’ like?
  • Is that ‘Hour of Need’?
