TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS

For me, Tales From Topographic Oceans is the best Yes album. Four 20-minute-long tracks, one a side. This is a very particular and underesestimated album. But how can you forget an album which propose you the magnificence of 'Ritual - Nous Sommes Du Soleil' (as a French, I'm very proud to see this song has got a french title !) ? And this beautiful sleeve by Roger Dean... Definitely, Tales From Topographic Oceans is, more than Close To The Edge, Fragile and Relayer, a masterpiece, and THE Yes album in excellence. 80 minutes of pure prog-rock splendor.
