[subvert47]

this LP is gay

[discoverytime1]

Man do I ever miss this music! It seems that not many people try anymore.

This was one of the first concerts I attended. I will treasure it forever.

[Caswallen420]

i MUST get some headphones....!

[Caswallen420]

ok nvm. i was only saying....!

[cheeta14]

I was 15 years old when I got this album, 1973, a new era for progressive rock, and yes it is classical music as well, classical music does not mean just Mozart, Vivaldi, Bach and all those old ones, classical music is all that music that goes over the time as master pieces and a product of talent.

[zackjp]

my fav album by yes next to relayer ...next to that all the yes albums until after drama sorry if this makes no sense im baked

[ThePrion23]

The discord at 3:20 sets up the deliverance of 5:57. Truly one of the most emotionally compelling 'pop' records I ever heard. What is this music anyway? Rock and roll? Classical? It is what it is. I think it's beautiful.

[MrMultijosefus]

This was the first double vinyl album I bought "blind" no critique from Rolling Stone first. This part is the most beautiful in harmony as in melody. You are right at 3:20 the devil enters in the ancient struggle good/evil. Therefore the diabolical tone. The guitar partita are some of the best in the genre. Juxtaposition of ugly vs beautiful music. We are from the sun is right all other planets appeared as the sun spun faster and ejected matter. Again the symphonic structure appears popular at

[astrophonix]

@MrMultijosefus Sorry, but no. The planets formed from the same protostellar nebula as the sun did, it didn't throw them out from itself, that is a disproved 19th century theory by Laplace. We are made of stardust from a pre-existing star. We are of the sun as we couldn't have evolved without it.

[MrMultijosefus]

@astrophonix Thank you for the lesson in astrophysics and I mean that sincerely not as sarcasm. How refreshing to find another intellectual in this forum.However musically speaking what do you think about the music?

[astrophonix]

@MrMultijosefus I didn't really like this album compared to Yes' other stuff when it came out, but over the years I've grown to love it, especially this track.

[LanceHelmut]

[SuperPickleme]

The second mushroom was just kicking in

[aviemore77]

Absolutely brilliant. Allow yourself to get caught up in the moment. More harmonies than most bands achieve in a lifetime..Howe is on fire.

[VINGC]

8:49 to 10:03 waahhh!!! whatatimes the 70's!!! love it

[vardor]

baba booey!

[Andrewoid95]

It's too great!!

[cayenneturbot]

mainly pretentious nonsense interspersed with a few passages of harmony

[stepenwolf7]

True genius

[wakinyanmani]

astounding there is beauty in this world and there is ugliness either neither or both fleeting glimpses you decide but this is sheer beauty

[Xanaseb]

I prefer the yesshows version because of the iclusion of the amazing loud bestial voices in the instumental part.

[1z1zz1z1zz]

along with gates of delirium this piece represent the pinacle of prog-rock
