Arc Of Life is a new progressive rock supergroup which features three members of the current Yes line-up, vocalist Jon Davison, bassist/vocalist Billy Sherwood, and drummer Jay Schellen. Completing the lineup is one of the most interesting talents in the "new" progressive rock scene in the US, Dave Kerzner (ex-Sound of Contact) on keyboards and Jimmy Haun (also featured on Yes albums in the past) on guitars.
The concept behind the band is, in keeping with the progressive rock philosophy, to craft creative, challenging, and ear-pleasing music that pushes boundaries. The other idea behind the band is that Yes would be a clear point of influence…

The 1960s was a time of Top-40 radio, featuring a wide variety of styles, especially in the pop and easy listening genres. 'Pop Memories of the '60s' is the biggest and best collection of these hits ever offered in one box set. With well-known vocalists, folk artists, instrumentalists and more, it's one great musical memory after another! Step back in time… you're sipping a martini, ready to play an LP… listening to Ray Charles, Dionne Warwick, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, Bobby Darin, Elvis Presley, the Kingston Trio, the Lettermen, Connie Francis, Englebert Humperdinck, Glen Campbell, Al Martino, B.J. Thomas, Tom Jones, Nat King Cole, Stan Getz, Henry Mancini, Bobby Vinton, Stevie Wonder and dozens more '60s favorites.

Arc Of Life is a band of musicians all with ties, to varying degrees, to Yes. Billed by their promoter as a supergroup, their ties to numerous progressive rock artists and bands (as well as other genres of rock) demonstrates that this label was not given frivolously. In order of fame: Jon Davison (Yes), Billy Sherwood (Yes / World Trade), Jay Schellen (Unruly Child), Dave Kerzner (Sound Of Contact) and Jimmy Haun (Air Supply / Circa). There’s a lot of intersection going on there. For example Billy Sherwood and Jimmy Haun are bandmates in the Prog band, Circa; Jay Schellen is Yes’s touring drummer, and so on.
If you enjoy classic and technical, English-style, melodic progressive rock (and similar to Yes), you will enjoy Arc Of Life's well-crafted and entertaining exploration and rendition within Don't Look Down.

A studio project with a variable lineup launched to explore the possibilities of first synthesizers available back then in Poland and to record excellent utility music with disco and funk undertones. One of the most fascinating projects in the history of the Polish popular music now returns in the remastered and the most complete version.
