World Trade - World Trade (1922) [2022 Rock Candy Remastered]

When World Trade first appeared on the scene the general view was that they would signal a new flood of progressive rock bands into the scene, one that would see them replacing the old guard with fresh blood. Indeed, immediate comparisons were made to Yes’s late ’80s golden period of hi-tech sheen and powerful production.

World Trade delivered a sound with a strong mainstream potential, yet ultimately delivered little in the way of commercial success. It wasn’t as if the playing or the songwriting was at fault. The musical content was similar to the recent Yes triumphs but the market in 1989 was already moving ahead swiftly, edging towards what would eventually be called grunge.
