Yes (Official Thread)

No bad feelings.

I've browsed that thread on a couple occasions in the past. Off the top of my head I would recommend 'Rites At Dawn' (2011) by Wobbler. Retro Yes. Personally I prefer their two previous albums with 'Hinterland' being my fav. More eclectic and in the vein of King Crimson.

No bad feelings here either Joe , thanks for your input ,

In the Present: Live From Lyon, sorry but NO thanks.

 

[Big Ears]

Fly From Here and In the Present Live in Lyon were both disappointing.

 

[KingHeadache]

Indeed !

Going to be ordering a brand new vinyl audiophile edition of "Fragile" and "90125" in a couple weeks. I am considering "Tales of Topographic Oceans" as well, but would rather get "Close to the Edge"...if it's released on HQ vinyl.

^^^ All killer works IMO I would't be surprised if they all end up heading your way. I will be digging out the gatefold Debut "Yes" on vinyl at the weekend. Fingers crossed it's still in good fettle. I play the cd regularly cos the music is just timeless IMO.

"Survival"



The debut is up there with my favourites from Yes.

I give the first one a spin quite a bit too. I really dig their Beatles re make on it too!!

Who would have thought a simple little Beatle tune could be drawn out into a huge prog piece.

"Every Little Thing She Does"

Go for the edge !

Yeah, the Peter banks stuff kicks so much ass. It's some of the finest jazz referenced pop. I bought the first album on a whim back in the 80s and I couldn't believe all the Yes fans I knew had never played or talked about this. They talked a little about Time and a Word but always kind of dismissively.

I dig both of those albums as well as any great Yes album (= all the 60s and 70s works).

If I can get an audiophile quality new pressing I will pick it up KH...but last time I looked they didn't have one. But with the continuing demand and young fans like Nolo collecting vinyl the old classics should still be released on vinyl for the foreseeable future. I hope so anyway there are about 30+ old records I want new if possible,,,if not I will shop around the used record stores to get them.
