Listening to this album now, it's the definition of Prog.

Anyone else ever listened to it?

Here's a taste:

Sound Chaser

one of my desert island yes albums. my prayers were answered when i saw them play "gates of delirium" in 2000 ('masterworks' tour). love "sound chaser" as well, and i even have a soft spot for "to be over".....solid album from start to finish.

Listened to them a lot, back in the day.

Bruford and White were both excellent.
Squire, ditto.
Wakeman, ditto.
Howe, ditto.

Never got past Tormato or the album with the skyscrapers and a bit of neon colouring (don´t know which one was later).

I grew up on Yes. My Dad was always playing Yes in the house and car.

I love To Be Over, especially the singing, the guitar solo (one of my favorite Steve Howe solos), and the ending.

To Be Over is one of my favorite songs of theirs. Steve has been doing a great solo acoustic arrangement for a while now:

Wow I had never seen this. That playing is so classic trademark Steve Howe with the Chet Atkins / Travis picking sections, and some of the passages remind me of Sketches in the Sun. He managed to capture so much of the song.

Relayer is solid. Saw them live during the Tales from Topographic Oceans tour. Giant mechanical crab on stage. A sight (and sound) to behold.

Going for the One. Not a great album but it has Awaken on it and that's a good song.
