I also think it deserves a suggestion, but the album caught me with sound chaser. Great album, and around here you can get it for about 8$ canadian, no reason not to.

Oh yea, I remember buying that album in a pawn shop. This was when I first getting into prog rock. I remember this guy on the bus with me looking at the case and saying, "oh you like metal? I can tell by your cd there". And I replied "well it's not real

I find Relayer absolutely fantastic. Better than any other Yes album I have (I'm yet to buy Tales, though). An absolute five star album in my book.

Definately one of Yes's crowning jewels, as are every album from 71 to 77 (The Yes Album to Going for the One, I'm not 100% sure on the exact years) that they made.

Relayer is an album thatgave me a lot of work to understand, if I had to compare with a Genesis album I would go with The Lamb, even when it's a single album and not conceptual, but both are really complex and are something totally different to theclass

My favourite YES albums are "Going for the One", "Relayer" and "Close to the Edge", in that order. I consider "Relayer" as their heaviest album.

Much as I loved 'Gates Of Delerium' and 'Sound Chaser', 'To Be Over' was the song that completely and totally kicked my ass. What a great track. On a great album.

I bought Close To The Edge used on vinyl the other day but I haven't listened to it all the way through yet. I got distracted because I paid $4.99 USD for it and it skipped twice during the first minute. Anything that skips period is not worth even $1 i

To be sure, Relayer is an underrated Yes album. I really rate Moraz as a player and there is a much harder edge to this line up that didn't really return to the sound until Drama (another underrated Yes release IMO).
Still not sure if Moraz l

I found them! The interviews with Patrick Moraz on which he talks about why and how he left YES are in: http://dmme.net/interviews/moraz.html

It took me a couple of listenings before I fully appreciated the music on Relayer, Gates Of Delirium indeed sounds cacaphonously and noisy, and it may appear that the noise is random, but it all falls in to place beautifully. Great album.
