Parallels - Awaken (2022)

The one and only album from this band from USA.

The band is Tim Morse with friends. The lineup is drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

There is no denying that this is a Yes tribute band and that the songs here are cover versions of some Yes standards.

Well, mostly one song.... Awaken. 

We get this song in at least three versions.... OK, only two versions. It feels like three versions as the versions is all over the place and includes some artistic freedoms.

The other songs are decent enough. But I feel that I have got enough for a while of Awaken, one of my favourite Yes songs..

The songs are competent remade but it is clear that the musicians in Yes are head and shoulders better than the ones who did this album.

The result is decent enough. The Yes albums and songs are still many country miles better than the cover versions on this album.
