Formed in 1998, Fragile are the original European YES tribute project
and have toured the UK & Europe in various line-ups for the past 20
years. This included live dates/tours with Steve Howe in 2005,6 & 7 and
appearances with Alan White & Rick Wakeman.
Following 20 years of performing Yes music, the band are no longer
performing live but now write and record original YES-inspired music.
Actual track-list:
1. Beyond (21:56)
a. Sent Through The Morning
b. Sharkflight
c. Dawn
d. The Other Side
e. Flight
2. Yours And Mine (14:26)
a. Like There's No Tomorrow
b. Diorama
3. The Golden Ring Of Time (14:09)
I love the work of Claire Hamill, Oliver Day, and Max Hunt, and I enjoy
a lot of music that emanated from the band YES--I might even be
interested in seeing a tribute band if one came close to me--but bands
motivated by near-perfect replication of a single band's sound and
songs, though impressive, usually bore me. (How many Yeses, Genesises,
King Crimsons, VDGGs, and Focuses do we really need?) I listened with
great interest to this band's debut release from last year, Golden
Fragments, but, in the end, dismissed it as four talented artists who
had too much time on their hands during COVID lockdowns. But now, with a
2021 release to follow up, I am thinking that these guys are serious!
They really want to create new Yes-like music.
Well, the plastic sound of the drum heads weren't enough to drive me
crazy, the Yes similarities are just too close--even with Claire's
crystalline female voice on top. If there's one saving grace, the bass
play is neither mixed as far forward or as busy as his Yes -counterpart,
the late great Chris Squire. A 21-minute multi-part epic followed by two
fourteen minute suites. The former is respectful and unobtrusive--and
not over the top bombastic--more like a MAGENTA composition--and I have
to admit that Ms. Hamill's performance is rather charming. Oliver Day
adds enough of his own style and sound selection to not be too obvious
as a Steve Howe replicant and multi-instrumentalist Max Hunt does an
admirable job with several key tracks, including the bass and background
vocals.
"Yours and Mine" (14:26) unfortunately, sees the band trying a bit too
hard to get really close to several famous Yes songs--perhaps even to
merge several. And then Claire's lackluster Heather Findlay-like vocal
practically ruins it. (Sorry to be so direct, Ms. Hamill, but, what a
corny lyric! I feel so embarrassed and pandered to! I'll have to go back
to the magic of "Icicle Rain" and Voices just to clear my head and
cleanse my palette).
"The Golden Ring of Time" (14:09) Max is no Rick Wakeman. Then they have
the gall to steal Chris' melodic hook from Schindleria Prµmaturus! And
those galloping plastic drums! There's just a series of instrumental
hooks lifted directly from Yes songs and flaunted as if this were truly
a song of homage. A fair song if I weren't so distracted by every other
minute's presentation of Yes-familiar riffs. Still, this is the most
memorable song of the album--and thus my favorite.
