Title: A MUSICAL MASTERPIECE
Review: I first listened to the entire work in the summer of 1976. Not a month has passed since that time when I've played at least one track.The music is so rich with YES creativity and brilliance. Could any musician get away with recording such a magical monster in 1999? I don't think so. It's obvious that these wonderful musicians were given "free reign" to record whatever they wanted. I consider this Yes's best collection since they really didn't care what the record company or the critics said.By the way, my favorite piece is The Ancient - first piece - fast vibraphones and wailing guitar!My only criticism is the production. The sound of the entire collection is not as clear as Close to the Edge or Relayer. Even the remastered CD lacks the quality sound that most Yes recordings contain.My only regret in life is missing the 1974 Tales tour - all four pieces and Close to the Edge in one concert. I can only imagine...
