: I have IAN and VAGELIS album "private colection", it's so so.

: There is more Wakeman's albums, one of them (and the best, IMHO) is
: "Six wive of Henrik VIII". I like it. Another Wak. solo is "red line", but
: it's not so fine.
: There is is also Wakeman's album with music from Ken Rasel movie "Listomania",
: and album (music & spoken tale) "journey to the center of the earth".

: There is old B. Brudford solo album also, can't remember the name, but it's
: nice.

: I like Yes very much !!!

I think Wakeman has released aroun 50 albums, with "Criminal Record" generally
regarded as one of the best.

Bruford put out 3 or 4 albums with his group Bruford and has put out 4 with
his group Earthworks, as well as collaborations with Patrick Moraz, and many
other guest appearances.

The best Yes-member solo album, though, has to be Chris Squire's "Fish Out of
Water". If you can find the Japan-only CD release, get it!!!!

I'd say right after that one would have to be
Jon Anderson's "Olias of Sunhillow", his only
album that didn't go anywhere near pop (*blah*).
It too is import-only, but it is very good,
IMO, particularly if you like music that borders
on new age
