Ship of Memories

Focus

A collection of archival studio outtakes and rarities that captures a looser, more pastoral side of the Dutch prog masters. Warm, melodic, and surprisingly intimate.

1976 · Yess

Find on Amazon

A relaxed and nostalgic journey through the band's cutting-room floor, favoring melody over complexity.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden transition from the marching rhythm of P’s March into the fluid, melodic guitar lines of Jan Akkerman.
The rare, earnest vocal performance on Can’t Believe My Eyes that breaks the band's instrumental tradition.
The way the title track closes the album with a brief, hauntingly beautiful melodic fragment.
