I fucking love "Yours Is No Disgrace" so damn much. What a beautiful, beautiful song. Howe's playing on the whole Yes Album just blows me away.
I grew listening to WIOT out of Toledo, Ohio, and when 90120 came out they used to play "Our Song" all the time because it had that line "Toledo is just another stop along the good king's highway". Like, they actually thought it was about Toledo, Ohio!!

Second album Fountains of Light is probably slightly better overall though
On Citadel they'd gone into more of a Kansas/Styx type direction, I still love it though

Anyway I'm playing the new Yes live album now - it's not all bad, Sherwood fills in quite nicely for Squire, Davison sounds alright, the version of "Ritual" is good and it's kind of neat to hear all of Drama on a live album
but man, it's depressing to hear them so out of sync at spots, especially when the quick tunes like "Tempus Fugit", "Heart of the Sunrise", and "Roundabout" are only played at 75% speed. IDK maybe they come off better in person.

― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Saturday, 7 April 2018 04:26 (two weeks ago) Permalink
I dove back into "Tormato" because I'm fascinated by the ways established prog/prog-leaning bands reacted to punk. "Release, Release" is my favorite of such response songs, after Queen's "Sheer Heart Attack". I also love the raw sound of "On The Silent Wings Of Freedom" - it's like a rehearsal that accidentally made it to final mastering. (Hell, you can almost smell the cigarette burns on the shag carpet in the wood-paneled basement beneath the "Ummagumma" poster with the thumbtack missing from the upper-left corner). And there's the whole "Was Rick Wakeman openly trying to sabotage the album?" solos that echo Viv Savage from "This Is Spinal Tap" (near the end of the track, Rick just goes up and down the first 5 notes of the Lydian mode for like 6 measures). Damn, I love that song!
When my Spotify shuffle setting played "Onward" after James Blake's "Unluck" and "Wilhelm's Scream", it finally hit me that Yes might have accidentally invented Dubstep (or, at least, the chill side of it). The sub-70bpm tempo, the underlying subtle-yet-propulsive keyboard rhythm that appears and disappears, the soaring chorus - all that's missing is a massive bass drop before "...OF MYYYY LIIIIFE!"

critical update:
the game Knights of the Crystallion was inspired by the cover of Relayer.
Ages ago, a colossal sea monster called an Orodrid died in a canyon passage. Millions of years later, after the valley was eroded, a nomadic people found its hulking skeleton, “incomprehensible” in size, and declared it their new home. “Orodrid, the city of bones” became more than a shelter. It was the new center of their world, their source of spiritual energy.In Knights of the Crystallion, you live within this society. That’s the game. It combines a group of confusing, seemingly random activities – like a Nine Men’s Morris-style board game and an action sequence set in twisting cave – to depict the many sides of the communal, religious life of the Orodrim.

$40. i'm a sucker for these guys; it felt like a huge bargain given how many other magazines i've bought over the years, and how little attention any pay to YES. unfortunately it's nowhere near the quality of other UMGs though -- pink floyd, bowie, zeppelin, etc -- so i would for sure say stick to cover price or thereabouts

Despite being oddly compiled (what with Relayer/GFTO/Tormato songs and different eras all jammed in) and not really a patch on the immortal Yessongs, I have a bit of a soft spot for Yesshows. It was my introduction to a bunch of those records (certainly Topographic Oceans, which I never owned) and Moraz, whose interplay with Howe blew me away. And the performances are uniformly quite good. For a dogs breakfast, it’s pretty likable. Small moment: when they take like three minutes to introduce the band and crew, Jon gets momentarily lost in the groovy windup to “Ritual” and sings “Don’t put that funk in my face.”It reminds me that for all their maximalist indulgence, long history and lineup permutations, there are still times when I actually think this band never reached its potential.
