MORE ON THE BAND-
The Syn are an
English
band that were active from 1965 to 1967, and then reunited as a progressive rock band in 2004. The band was founded by Steve Nardelli, Chris Squire, Andrew Pryce Jackman, Martyn Adelman and John Painter.
Reunion
The Syn reunion grew out of two events. In 2003, Martyn Adelman contacted the webmaster of a Yes fan site
[5]
and agreed to do an interview.
[
Steve Nardelli saw this and was put back in touch with Adelman. With Banks too, they met up for lunch and discussed a reunion. Around the same time, Andrew Jackman died, and there was a desire to mark his passing.
In 2004, the new band started rehearsals. Banks had brought in keyboard player Gerard Johnson, with whom he had worked on several previous projects, John Wettonwas originally to have played bass, but pulled out at the last minute and was replaced by Steve Gee (bassist in progressive rock band Landmarc). The sessions produced new versions of old Syn songs "Illusion" and "Grounded" and an extended new version of Yes' song "Time and a Word". Recordings were carried out at the studio owned by guitarist Paul Stacey . However, Banks did not continue on with the group, and gave an explanation on his web site.
Nardelli continued with the band and, in late 2004, he and Johnson had begun recording on a new song "Cathedral of Love" when Nardelli asked Squire if he could play on the tune. Squire did and went on to join the band. Paul Stacey became the guitarist and his twin Jeremy Stacey, the drummer. Adelman had chosen to step away from performing, although he remained associated with the band for a period as a photographer—photography rather than drumming having been his career for over 30 years.
The band released their first full studio album
Syndestructible
in October 2005, with
Cathedral of Love
coming out beforehand as a single. The lineup of musicians performing on that album is
Paul Stacey - guitars, engineer, co-producer
Gerard Johnson - keyboards, co-producer
Steve Nardelli - vocals
Jeremy Stacey - drums
Chris Squire - bass, backing vocals
An interviewer at the MWE3 website described
Syndestructible
as "one of the best prog-rock albums of the new century" and "a masterpiece of beat-prog. Richie Unterberger for Allmusic said, "It's rather like hearing a slightly middle-of-the-road version of Yes, with plenty of multi-sectioned song structures and progressive rock interplay between the instruments. [...] It's well executed and well recorded. But it should have been credited to Steve Nardelli and Chris Squire, or a different band name than Syn, as the links to the '60s Syn sound are virtually absent."
