DRAMA

Year of transition, decade of opening so as not to remain in the prog which is dying!! A change of musicians and not the least, yes the voice is an instrument for me... and this album arises, like a hare behind a thicket, let's go!

1. Machine Messiah arrives all of a sudden with a rising intro, a heavy, hard, nasty sound, a racing synth, Yes is having a good time in the new decade; Jon... not him, you'd believe it, the other Jon will be even more in his tones, in short, we're not going to criticize the stupid fans who booed him on stage, such is life; but how good is this track, this break with synths, military drums and stereo choirs, I love it; an album where Steve shows his verve on the guitar, a great gentleman who makes the clear hours of Yes whatever the prolific fan can say, often maliciously and stupidly; good these spatial times make my speakers happy, that's the most important; this guitar arpeggio on the synth which squirts, from 6/5 in view of the completely eccentric notes of today, Machine or the musical quintessence; I love the end I put it back 2. White Car entr'acte pompous grandiloquence brilliant or how prog sound can also be summed up in less than 2 minutes, the time to get into the white car 3. Does It Really Happen? starts nervous again, it feels good, the decade will be prog metal without a doubt; Chris prints the rhythm helped by Alan who hits well; yes it took beautiful people to make good songs; Geoff's synth holds up with its spatial passages; Trevor is doing his best and I don't think it's bad at all, Rick and Jon gone but the Yes vehicle continues; orchestral, symphonic, grand, solemn, airy, sunny with just the right amount of energy; the outro or what's left of it to catch the air with Chris as a solo star; who said they had lost their soul? still a curmudgeon 4. Into the Lens...B-side the CD wasn't there yet; jerky intro to put Steve at the top of the bill, yes his guitar playing was awesome; break spleen yes there I thought it was Jon at first, like what... I am a camera that's it, it's on! Whoever saw the Buggles could tell themselves that they had made a planetary tube... the flea in the ear for the next owner and the return of Jon, that's another story; while waiting for that jerk prog sympho rock style with a jazzy touch that suits him well; Geoff's vocoder and Steve's steel guitar lead for a frenetic, buggles-esque track; marshmallow break yes right now it's BBQ and it goes well on the flames; 5. Run Through the Light Vangelis and arpeggio from there? quickly the air arrives and drowns everything; once again the importance of the voice amazed me; Geoff is more new-wave electro than symphonic but they understood that a Close wouldn't work anymore; they had crossed the light like the airy station wagon which takes your breath away; guaranteed sound effects with Asia pointing, I'm writing this, I'm not saying anything; this chopped Japanese tune turns out well; the most a title of less than 5 minutes which holds up and shows that we can with a few variations show the register without sinking into the duration, the end is too short anyway 6. Tempus Fugit ... yes the radio edit in my opinion; tube where everyone has their place, where the rhythm wants to speak, where Geoff shows that he is more than a substitute, just a very good keyboardist who floods the pieces with velvety notes; Chris equal to himself and Steve the project manager, in short Yes a dino

YES touched the heart by offering a new sound.
