DOWNLOAD: Auxiliary Phoenix pays tribute to Chris Squire
There was always a bedroom electronica element to the Yes bassist's music...
Carlow electronica wunderkind Auxiliary Phoenix has paid remix tribute to Yes plank-spanker Chris Squire who passed away earlier this week. He was 67 and had been suffering from a rare form of leukemia.
Describing Squire, who was also part of the XYZ supergroup, as "one of the best rock bassists in the world", he says: "I got into prog rock largely from searching through records, and Yes are some of the best things I've ever found. Yes have greatly influenced my view on music and inspired me in many ways, and Chris had always played one of the leading roles in the band."
