Title: A Great Record Made Even Better
Review: Tales From Topographic Oceans is not often seen among the great Yes albums due to its inaccessibility, but it belongs at the top of the list in my opinion. It was a natural progression from the long-form pieces of Close To The Edge. Relayer, the album that follows this one, distills all of the elements of this daunting work into what I feel is the pinnacle of Yes' performance. Anyone with any attention span at all can (and should) listen to Topographic Oceans. It is an album of indiscribable beauty.Now, with this re-release, one has no excuse but to buy it and enjoy the wonderful journey. The bonus tracks are a real surprise, as they lend a bit of insight as to how this intensely complex body of work was formed. They also help one realise that Yes are actually terrestrial beings. :-)Buy this record! It's worth it.
