I got Yes: Close to the Edge for Christmas.

Great prog record. Probably the high watermark of their carrer and of prog rock in general. THe music just envelops you and it is strangely relaxing. I love it. Any prog fans who don't have it should get it.

3. Hard to believe it's nearly 28 year old 4 stars!

Two million people barely satisfy.
Two hundred women watch one woman cry, too late.
The eyes of honesty can achieve.
How many millions do we deceive each day?

Sound Stage I think. Time hasn't been to kind on them cosmetically but they really sounded great. Saw them live in
'71 I think. Still a bit foggy about those years.

5. Me too. 1974?

I'm hazy too. Unfortunatly they were showcasing Topagraphical Oceans at the time and left out almost all of Close to the Edge. I had binoculars, and it's true, Steve Howe's hands are a blur when he really starts playing, but each note is clearly heard.

although I am listening to "The Yes Album" quite a bit as of late! Just what the hell is a "Khatru" anyway? :)
