You can trust Louder
With 2003’s digital remaster (read: right old fiddle about) going down like a cup of cold sick, Panegyric Records have done something special for Relayer’s 40th birthday and sent it for a sonic spa treatment with prog’s holy guardian, Steven Wilson.
Taken from original masters and remixed in 5.1 surround sound, Yes’s mighty seventh LP finally gets a sympathetic spruce-up, including some bumper sleevenotes and restored Roger Dean artwork. Nothing added or taken away this time. What a relief.
Jo is a journalist, podcaster, event host and music industry lecturer who joined Kerrang! in 1999 and then the dark side – Prog – a decade later as Deputy Editor. Jo's had tea with Robert Fripp, touched Ian Anderson's favourite flute (!) and asked Suzi Quatro what one wears under a leather catsuit. Jo is now Associate Editor of Prog, and a regular contributor to Classic Rock. She continues to spread the experimental and psychedelic music-based word amid unsuspecting students at BIMM Institute London and can be occasionally heard polluting the BBC Radio airwaves as a pop and rock pundit. Steven Wilson still owes her £3, which he borrowed to pay for parking before a King Crimson show in Aylesbury.
