The same goes for me. Confirmation bias for the win.

I prefer the acoustic versions of To Be Over mostly because you keep the wonderful melody and lose the very lame lyrics... My order: Machine Messiah Perpetual Change To Be Over On the Silent Wings of Freedom Astral Traveller

Yeah, missing the vocals actually helps this versions... even if I do mostly love Anderson's singing, and I haven't really paid much attention to the lyrics, so I wouldn't say that I find them lame. And in general the melody sounds more focused and doesn't drag for so long alternating between guitars, keyboards and vocals.

I'll see if I can find the cd somewhere in my music wilderness. Everything is jumbled together...even more so than usual (I just moved out of my apartment and chaos prevails). Cheers Jim  |

Those two are from Tales though right? Sneaky man  If my memory serves me well, that album has improved with every new spin...even if there is something like a year in between each listen. I could of course just listen to the tunes offered up in this little joust of Darryl's 
Nah..you know what? I'm going to transfer Tales over to my iPod for closer inspection. Who knows, maybe I'll love it.

It's been so long since I last span any Yes (apart from The Yes Album), so the only one I remember out of these is Perpetual Change, which, incidentally, happens to be a fave of mine. So: Perpetual Change ? ? ? ?
