Oh God, I love Olias so much, it's the best shit ever. Solid Space has that ecstatic building thing that the end of Awaken does so well that really gets to me.

Olias and Fish in particular get me thinking that these guys had a lot of untapped potential. Of course Jon Anderson is still alive and I've only heard 4 of his albums outside Yes but Squire didn't do as much as the other main Yes members.

Invention of Knowledge, the album Jon Anderson did with Roine Stolt (nope, me either) in 2016, is great.
― grawlix (unperson), Saturday, 5 May 2018 18:06 (five years ago) link
I think Anderson once said there was lots of ideas he held back because he wanted to do them with Yes.
Now that Yes isn't an option for him now, maybe he's using those ideas now.

Have listened to the "Fish..." reissue and it's worth it for the new remastering. The 2018 remix is weird and too "off" for me.

Would have been cool if Jon dictated the riff to “Sunrise.”

Hmm, that's an interesting angle, never really considered the connection between those two tracks.

I find the lyrics to Heart of the Sunrise far more perplexing than The Camera Eye. You could probably say that about any Yes song vs any Rush song though.

Did Peart (or anyone) actually say "The Camera Eye" was an homage or was that a joke?

Yeah, the top 4 (plus 'The Fish', which I see more as a coda to 'Long Distance Runaround' - can't have one without the other) are the real meat of this record. Anything additional is just highly listenable padding.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Tuesday, 6 November 2018 18:38 (five years ago) link
'Mood For A Day' isn't as enjoyable as 'Clap' but it's kinda funny seeing it only get one vote when I assume these are some very difficult songs to play.

According to Anderson, the song is about being lost in the city.[2]

Yes was a band that was partly great for reasons beyond the control of any of its members. The corny "give each member a feature" aspect of this album is evidence of just how questionable a lot of their ideas and taste were. I always pictured that as being Jon Anderson's influence although IDK for sure. Jon Anderson himself has a lot of lame tendencies (as does Rick Wakeman) and yet both work exceedingly well over that rhythm section.

the 'give each member a feature' is a fun aspect of the album imo, and the fish and mood for a day stand pretty well on their own tbh.
