Who's play this song?

[Jorcor]

Greeting from Chile!

I recorded a song on the radio in 1990 more or less, but I've never been able to know who is the band playing. Here I have an mp3 with the 1st part ... the song in total takes about 15 minutes:



In some passages remind a little to Return to forever... but they aren't.

If anyone knows I will be eternally grateful

P.S. I apologize for my English, which is not the best, but something you can understand

Can you make a youtube clip out of it? That way people could listen to the song without having to download a file.

 

[Jorcor]

Done!. Thanks.

Sounds like Yes to me. @5StringBlues would know.

I asked Siri three different times and got three different answers. Oh well...

Isn't there an I-phone app that will listen to a snippet of a song, and spit out the artist & title? I don't know if us Android users have access to it ... if so, I'd be interested to know what it's called.

That's some way heavy prog. Not my field of expertise, but I don't think YES was doing anything like that in the 90's (to my knowledge.)

Good luck, OP, & let us know if u find out

I tried with Shazam, but showed me songs that were not.

Neither yes 'cos i would recognize them inmediatly... i have the discography

I went to record stores, I asked in forums, radios, friends and nobody knows who play ...what a mistery!!

 

[elgecko]

This is indeed a mystery. I'm brainstorming with some buddies an the closest we can come up with is Ozric Tentacles.

*do you mean 1980
It's not Yes, but it does sound Yes influenced... Soundhound has no idea, so I would guess a local band. Kinda late to call the radio station and ask I recon.... either way it's a pretty impressive song.

By the way, how did you get such a good recording from the radio in the 1990s? Did you have like fancy equipment or something?

Also, I would ask on one of the prog forums, someone is bound to know......

 

[elgecko]

One of my friends already posted it on a jazz rock fusion group on FB. I'll report back if they come up with something.

Radio still plays music, but no longer jazz or fusion, now it is oriented to the rock-metal and its derivatives...

The complete song (15 min aprox) is very fun to listen, full of changes... in spite of the 15 min it takes.
It was recorded in a single National Panasonic radio-cassette that even I have, like this (picture is not mine)...in deed, also have the tape. That speaks to the the quality of things manufactured before

Thanks @elgecko .

It sounds funny, but this song has become a real mystery, and have more than half of my life without know what group is.

Total Yes wannabes. For some reason I'm getting an Italian vibe, like a less dark Goblin. I sent the link to a friend who's a bit of a Prog expert, so I'll let you know if he has ideas.

 

[Jorcor]

Thanks @cdlynch . I reviewed Goblin's discography also... and not, but as you says, it sounds very "old italian prog"

 

[angrychair]

cooool, a stumper!!! These are the best.

Really interesting song too

 

[PortlandBass77]

I feel like this would be a lot easier if this weren't an instrumental.....

 

[Rogatien022]

Isn't PFM an italian prog band?

 

[Vanceman]

I vote for PFM. My oldest brother was heavily influenced by them, and his original song's bass lines were very much like this.
