This is one of those once in a lifetime recordings that could never be duplicated in its enormity, versatility, or creative spring. Some of the parts were played in 47/64! There's such an emormous molding of ridiculous sized, over the top drama and bombast, juxtaposed upon lyrical lines, question/answer musical dialogs, and an amalgamation of European and South American interplay. This is has been on of my favorite recordings over the past 36 years!
This Opus is a experimentation of Brazilian Music in fusion with a Progressive keyboard, the soud is original, a lack of confusion like a fusy music, but original.I knew this sound many years ago.... Patrick plays in a Brazilian Rock Group called Vimana, and fixed residence in Rio de Janeiro lastest 75 to 77.
I am pretty sure that Stevie Wonder´s the Secret Life of Plants got quite a bit colors and stuff from this disk. Maybe the assurance that it is possible to make a record like this? Whatever, fantastic music!
Too bad for the editing. The Story of I is truly one of the best (if not THE best) concept, prog albums ever recorded. It is my all time fav. recordings.
Hey, mine too! I don't play it very often - only when I can sit and truly enjoy the incredible sounds, music, lyrics, concept - everything. It is an extraordinary album, completely under-rated. And Patrick gave us World Music 10 years before Paul Simon 'discovered' it! If I could only listen to one album, this would be it!
Thanks for sharing these video long ago in the site... I hope a better quality rip would appear someday because, heheheh, really, i have to imagine what's happening in the video. Let's hope a better rip became available soon. This music deserves it.
our keyboard player went out and bought a orchestron right about the time of this album. what a cool instrument for the time. This video is cool, album was great and Mr. Moraz was quite a innovator.
His strings are from a keyboard called an Orchestron. I've also heard it called a Supersonic Orchestron. I believe Moraz had a hand in designing it. It used an optical disk system similar to an Optigon organ. I played one once and it seemed somewhat low fidelity to me, but it wasn't in very good condition so it may not have been working optimally. Personally I'd rather have a Mellotron or a Chamberlan
Outstanding LP, one of a kind, nothing like it that I've heard...except maybe his Refugee stuff. Really good, too. Never did like his string sound ...wonder which keyboard it was. Great energy on this album, ahead of his time with the percussion, although Zawinul would differ.
This was really a great album. Rather unappreciated really. One of my faves of all the solo stuff. I met Moraz at a NAMM show back in 2000 but he was fronting for Steinberg and wasn't in the mood to talk about Yes. It was great to see this vids. Thanks.
What songs are these snips from?

I wish he'd done 2:28 to 3:00 with Yes , I can just picture Squier going apeshit on the bass with that

This is great video! Check out my video postings because I'm going to be loading up quite a bit of stuff from Patrick I taped for him in the 90's.

I loved this album then and now. It was like the sibling of YES's Relayer when it was released. You definately hear his influence on that LP
