Members of *Yes* and *Hawkwind* will guest on an upcoming prog album from
actor *William Shatner*. *Rick Wakeman*, Yes' former keyboardist plays on
the LP, while *Billy Sherwood*, a multi-instrumentalist for the group,
*produced
and co-wrote it. Nik Turner of Hawkwind also found his way onto the disc.*

"I've never adhered to the assumption that oil and water don't mix," said
Wakeman of his contribution. "Stir them hard enough and add some other
ingredients and they certainly will mix."

Other artists featured on the album, dubbed *Ponder the Mystery*,
include *Steve
Vai*, *Al Di Meola*, *Robby Krieger* of the *Doors*, *Vince Gill*, *Mick
Jones*,*George Duke*, *Dave Koz* and *Edgar Winter*.

"Shatner is after all an enormously popular and celebrated icon of
science-fiction fantasy, and no musical genre is as invested in, devoted to
or driven by fantasy and the imaginative as progressive rock," said the
actor's label of the release.

*Ponder the Mystery* is due October 8.

effort was so i don't have high hopes for this. It will be easily
downloadable as is almost  everything. "Nik Turner of Hawkwind....."  What
can you say?
