I guess I'm trying to bring back songs that haven't been played live by Yes for ages, and somehow present some visual performance from them for all Yes fans. The "forgotten" Remembering has always the song that I gave the least amont of listens from this album. Maybe because of that, when I started playing "Tales From Topographic Oceans" in my car, I started to rediscover the song - This happens a lot with Yes. I started to focus on the fretless bass - a quite personal approach to the instrument from Chris Squire a lot of surprising little details that are so great to analise, and play. My bass is a cheap j-bass copy and the frets were ripped by me "a la Jaco" many years ago. The neck has a lot of dead spots and harmonics are weak, so the overall sound is not the best. I hope to get it right on part 2, to follow soon. This time I used a Sadowsky "outboard bass preamp" for recording.
Why do so many people hate Tales from Topagraphic Oceans?I personally love this album as much as any.I used to smoke Thai stick and get lost.Now I cant partake in the sacred sacrement until I get back to work but I still love my favorite band Yes.

@Big77Jim It's all very relative "hating" an album by one's favourite band. I guess if Rick Wakeman had his reasons to "hate it" ... so if fans are "hating" an album has to be put in perspective... It's all part of the Yes-soap-opera lifestyle:)
