A federal indictment against President Joe Biden’s son Hunter were filed in California late Thursday. The nine new charges include: failure to file taxes‚ evasion of tax assessment‚ and filing fraudulent documents. From CNN: Now‚ the president will be campaigning for a second White House term and fighting a Republican impeachment bid while his son fights to avoid prison in two criminal cases. Hunter Biden’s lawyers did not immediately comment‚ and CNN has reached out to the White House for comment. According to court filings from the now-defunct plea deal‚ Hunter Biden repeatedly missed IRS deadlines to pay his federal taxes on time‚ and eventually owed about $2 million to the government. He paid the money back in 2021‚ with a loan from a friend. Federal prosecutors have been scrutinizing Hunter Biden’s finances since 2018‚ and Trump-appointed US attorney David Weiss was designated special counsel in August. The probe appeared to be winding down this summer when Hunter Biden agreed to plead guilty to two tax misdemeanors‚ and prosecutors would recommend no jail time. They also agreed that a gun charge would be dropped in two years if he stayed out of legal trouble. But both proposed deals collapsed after scrutiny from a federal judge and disagreements over the fine print. Then Weiss indicted Hunter Biden in September on three charges related to his purchase of a gun from a shop in Delaware in 2018 at a time prosecutors say he was an illegal drug user. He has pleaded not guilty in the gun possession and false statements case.

Now that Dolby Atmos is all the rage for audiophiles‚ it only makes sense to add that to a list of other remixes‚ ripe and ready to package with outtakes‚ unreleased material‚ and live stuff to create a boxset around a progressive rock treasure — 1971’s The Yes Album. The Super Deluxe Edition does indeed offer a new Steve Wilson Atmos mix‚ plus the 2014 5.1 mix (with a few recent tweaks)‚ along with a 2023 stereo remaster on a Blu-ray‚ one of the four CDs‚ and the included LP. The other three CDs comprise alternates mixes‚ outtakes‚ and live tracks from two different performances. The album marked a pivotal moment in the band’s career and played a crucial role in shaping the landscape of progressive rock. It was a departure from the band’s earlier‚ more straightforward rock sound. There was a newfound musical complexity and a willingness to explore uncharted territories The Yes Album. With new guitarist Steve Howe‚ whose virtuosic playing added an extra layer of sophistication to the band’s sonic palette‚ Yes embarked on a sonic journey that would shape their future. The epic “Yours Is No Disgrace” opens the album and immediately establishes a more assertive sound. The unique interplay between Howe’s guitar‚ Chris Squire’s bass‚ and Tony Kaye’s keyboards creates a rich tapestry of sound‚ while Jon Anderson’s ethereal vocals soar‚ delivering cryptic yet captivating lyrics. “I’ve Seen All Good People” uses the metaphor of chess as the dynamic that occurs in relationships. Musically‚ it seamlessly blends acoustic and electric elements‚ demonstrating a flavor of versatility and technical prowess to the music. “Starship Trooper” is a three-part suite that encapsulates the essence of Yes’s progressive ethos. From the haunting acoustic passages to seismic shifts in tempo and mood‚ the song exemplifies the band’s ability to create intricate‚ multi-dimensional compositions. Howe gets his own instrumental called “The Clap” as if to highlight the guitarist’s  virtuosity and charged fiery technique as a major boost to the group’s floundering style. Many would argue that remains true to this day. Where this clearly comes to light is on the live tracks from Sweden (January 21‚ 1971) and New Haven‚ CT (July 24‚ 1971). Elegant versions of “Astral Traveller” and “Everydays” from 1970’s Time And A Word‚ plus a lively take on “Perpetual Change‚” make this disc a worthwhile spin. Going back backwards from there might be your safest most logical move from there. Honestly though‚ you might want to quickly dash through the remixes‚ instrumentals‚ and rarities CDs‚ and cut straight to the Blu-ray Disc if you have the right system. Both the Atmos and 5.1 mixes tap deeply into some detailed ear candy. Howe’s guitars ping pong back and forth on “Yours Is No Disgrace‚” while Kaye’s organ lifts “Starship Trooper” to new heights. When you consider his work here and on something as tranquil as “A Venture‚” it’s odd to note this would be the last Yes album he’d appear on until returning to the fold for 1983’s 90125. Over all the mixes — even mono — you can’t escape the relentless rhythmic blender and tight turnarounds that emanate from bassist Chris Squire and drummer Bill Bruford. Even on those early recordings‚ both their styles bore edgy yet refined rigidity and innovation. Bringing all these elements together with Anderson’s high-pitched vocals zig-zagging over and around the instrumentation‚ it’s easy‚ even obvious‚ to say The Yes Album marks their first big‚ bold and major step into the adventurous‚ torrential storm of progressive rock. ~ Shawn Perry   The post Yes | The Yes Album (Super Deluxe Edition) – Boxset Review first appeared on VintageRock.com.
