Yak biography from progarchives:
YAK were a 4 piece instrumental progressive rock band who played between '82 & '84. The line up consisted of Robin Hodder (guitar), SySnell (bass), John Wynn (drums) & Martin Morgan (keyboards). The band stopped playing when jobs took the members to disperate parts of the UK. The material had only ever been recorded in Lo-Fi but Martin was determined that it should not be 'lost'. In 2003 he set about re-recording 8 of the YAK tracks which were released as the 'Dark Side of the Duck' album in Feb '04. Following this and enthused with the response, the band re-formed - original line up, but now with Max Johnson on bass. A live EP, 'Does Your Yak Bite ?' was released in 2005, and the same line-up released the jam collection 'The Rutland Chronicles' the following year.
Yak had not yet managed to capture a sound real close to their heart in the studio though, but in 2008, 2 years after it's first planned release, 'Journey of the Yak' was issued. On this creation the influences of the symphonic masters of yesteryear; GENESIS, CAMEL and UK; really came to it's right - mixed with dreamier and ambient segments not too unsimilar to the works of an artist like BJORN LYNNE.
It's worth noting that the recording line-up changed while the recording of this album took place. Morgan started recording this production by himself; and published some of the new recordings on Yak's MySpace page. These recordings caught the attention of drummer Dave Speight (WHIMWISE), who wanted to participate on this project. He brought longtime accomplice Gary Bennett (bass) with him; and the input of those two fine musicians undoubtedly have had an impact on the evolvement of the style of music pursued by YAK on this production.
WHY IS THIS BAND LISTED AT PROGARCHIVES:
Influenced by acts like GENESIS and CAMEL, and incorporating stylistic elements from artists like UK and BJORN LYNNE, the evolved form of symphonic rock mixed with dreamy and ambient segments presented on their 2008 album 'Journey of the Yak' saw to it that YAK was approved for inclusion by the Neo Progressive team.
