ʻAe, he pūʻulu pōhaku holomua Pelekane. I ka makahiki 1970, he papahana ka hui no ia ʻano. A mau nō ka hopena nui i ke ʻano o ka pōhaku holomua.
I kēia manawa aia kahi hui ʻAe me Steve Howe, Alan White, Geoffrey Downes, Billy Sherwood, John Davison. Aia kekahi hui me nā lālā mua ma lalo o ka inoa ʻAe Featuring Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin, Rick Wakeman.
ʻO ka peculiarity o ka hui ʻAe he mele pohihihi, nani a me nā mele mele, e alakaʻi ana i nā moeʻuhane, makemake e ʻike i ka honua i kona nani a pau, ʻo ʻoe wale nō a me kou mau manaʻo. ʻO ka hui ka wehewehe maoli o ka huaʻōlelo "escapism".
ʻO ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hoʻokumu ʻana o ka hui ʻAe (1968-1974)
I ʻAukake 1968, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo Yes e John Anderson, bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Peter Banks, drummer Bill Bruford and keyboardist Tony Kay.
Ua hui pū lāua, kūkākūkā ʻo Simon lāua ʻo Garfunkel me The Who (a me D. Entwistle), a lāua i hui pū ai.
Ma ʻAukake 4, hoʻokani ka hui i kā lākou ʻaha mele mua i kapa ʻia ʻo 4 ʻAukake. Ua huakaʻi nui lākou i ka United Kingdom, e pāʻani ana i nā improvisations i hana ʻia mai nā mea kumu. A hoʻokani hou i nā haku mele rock, funk a me jazz.
Ua komo pū lākou i ka ʻaha mele hope loa a Cream. Me Led Zeppelin, ua komo lākou i ka papahana kaulana ʻo John Peel. Ma laila, ua kapa ʻia kā lākou mau pūʻulu "nā hui ʻōpio maikaʻi loa." He mea paʻakikī ke kānalua i nā mana wānana o ka mea hōʻike!
A i Iulai 1969, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album hoʻomaka ponoʻī iā Yes. Ua hoʻokiʻekiʻe ʻia nā mele i ka hoʻokani pila a me ka hoʻokani pila o Squire (guitarist) a me Anderson (vocalist).
Hui ʻIke wau iā ʻoe a me ke ola
ʻO nā haku mele ʻo I See You, Survival, he hōʻike ia o ke akamai o nā mea hoʻokani pila. Akā i ka manawa like, he hōʻike o ka nele o ke kūʻokoʻa o ka hui ma kekahi mau ʻano. No ka mea ʻike wau iā ʻoe he mana uhi o The Byrds.
Ma keʻano laulā, ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia ka opus mua o ka hui e ka poʻe hoʻohewa a me ka lehulehu. Akā no ka hui, ʻo ia wale nō ka mea mua, akā he pae nui loa.
I ka wā mua, ua hele ka pūʻulu ʻAe ma ka lewa a me nā palena, loaʻa ka ʻike honua, ʻaʻole wale ka poʻe kiʻi rock-rock. Ua hui pū ka hui me nā mea hoʻokani kaulana e like me David Bowie a me Lou Reed.
Ua hui pū ʻia kahi mea pāʻani kīwī virtuoso hou - ʻo Rick Wakeman, he kanaka kaulana loa i kūpono i ka noʻonoʻo kikoʻī. A ʻo ka mea nui loa, ua hoʻokuʻu lākou i ʻelua mau mele mele kaulana loa: Fragile and Close to the Edge.
ʻO ka album Fragile ka mea kaulana loa o ka hui ma muli o kona hāʻawi ʻana i nā moʻolelo animated Iapana. ʻO ka mele i hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ʻo Round About, he mele ʻoliʻoli e pili ana i kahi kanaka e ʻimi nei i nā "helehele" ma kahi hiki.
ʻO nā mele a ka hui ma ka album - Cans and Brahms (mai kahi symphony na Johannes Brahms) a me Heart of Sunrise (Buffalo 66).
ʻO ka album Close to the Edge, ʻo ia ka haku mele o ka inoa hoʻokahi, ʻo "Pink Floydism" ka mea maikaʻi loa. ʻO kēia nā leo o ke kahawai, nā manu mele a me kahi mea kani (ʻo Anderson's high vocals).
I ka haku mele ʻO ʻoe a ʻo wau - ʻoluʻolu me ke alakaʻi acoustics a me ka piano. ʻO Siberian Khatru kahi hoʻihoʻi pololei a hōʻaiʻē i nā manaʻo mai ka ballet The Rite of Spring.
Ua ʻoi aku ka lanakila o nā album ʻelua, a ua lanakila ka poʻe mele i ka lanakila o ka kaulana. Akā, ua nui nā loli nui mai ia manawa. Ua hoʻokani ka pūʻali no kekahi mau mea aloha o ka orthodox art-rock mai nā kūlana o ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe.
ʻO ka moʻolelo o ka hui mai 1974 a hiki i kēia manawa
I loko o ka hui, e hele ana kekahi mau lālā o ka hui i kahi leo kaulana. A ʻo nā mea ʻē aʻe, e like me Anderson lāua ʻo Wakeman, makemake e komo i ka mea i hoʻomaka mua, hoʻokolohua.
Ma muli o ke ʻano like ʻole o ka hui, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo Tales from Topographic Oceans, kahi album liʻiliʻi loa o nā haku mele maikaʻi. Ma muli o kēia, haʻalele ʻo Wakeman i ka hui (e hoʻi pōkole ana ma hope iki).
Ua kālele ka pūʻali i ke kani nui loa. Ua hoʻolaha ʻia ke ala hou ʻana i ka kaulana o ka hui ma 1980s disco me ka album 90125, i puka mai i ka waiwai i nā mele hoihoi.
Ua māhele ʻia ka hui i ʻelua mele. ʻO kēia nā "orthodox" art-rockers i mua o Yes me Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin, Rick Wakeman a me kahi hui pop-oriented ʻAe.
Ma 2014, ua hoʻonohonoho ka hui i kahi huakaʻi ʻEulopa. Ua holomua ʻo ia me nā ʻano hana like ʻole a me nā hana ola hou o nā mele kahiko.
ʻAʻole i laila kekahi mau lālā o ka hui, e like me Peter Banks (2013) a me Chris Squire (2014). Ke hoʻomau nei nā "kahiko" i koe e hauʻoli iā mākou me nā hoʻokuʻu hou o ka leo art-rock.
