CLOSE TO THE EDGE

3 songs in the whole album, but each is its own excellent representation of the high point of Yes. CttE is one of the great prog masterpieces of the 70's. Filled with wonder and majesty, this track soars above previous efforts in grandeosity, sacrificing a bit of succinctness, but in the best way possible: with a mastery of the filler. TThe chorous and organ sections are amazing. I wish I had a pipe organ. AllI have is a Hammond , and who in their right mind would use one of those in a recording? Uh, how 'bout everyone.

Khatru builds upon the foundation of Roundabout and "Edgeafies" it, adding complexity and reverb. Although this song is alittle dry- sounding, but it works. Awesome.

AYAI is the most beautiful of the acoustic-intro songs, but not as good as Your move (I've Seen All Good People).

The Second best Yes album with THE best Yes song. This album is essential!!!!!!!!
