FRAGILE

Yes is one of my beloved rock orchestras, together with genesis, rush, vdgg... There is something special in their music. In addition to their originality, musical mastership and imagination, feeling, it is as well unceasing metamorphosis and evolution. I mean, that they have never repeated themselves, they try always to search for new pathways. And they are successfull in this effort. It is perhaps because they are all very inovative musicians, and furthermore, there always has been a quite high turnover in the group, thus each one brought something new to the orchestra. Such a pallete of various musical colors and ideas is very nicely visible/hearable in Fragile. There are songs here made by individual members (Cans And Brahms, We Have Heaven, Five Percent For Nothing,The Fish (Schindleria Praematurus), Mood For A Day), and colective compositions as well. This makes the album very heterogenous, yet compact. I like just the short songs of the members much more, especially the fish. By virtue of these small pearls is this album a masterpiece.
