CRISIS IN CLAY

This is absolutely one of the most amazing albums to which I've ever listened. The music is extremely complex, dense, layered, and sophisticated. Extremely odd time signatures and meters abound. Each piece of music is relatively short -- each only a few minutes long -- but that has absolutely no impact on the album as a whole. In some places the music provides obvious Yes-like characteristics, especially Yes of the Relayer period. In fact, Crisis In Clay could well be a glimpse at the direction Yes would have gone had they remained on the musical style path established with Relayer. Treat yourself to this piece of art. While it's not the most accessible album during the first couple of listens, give it some time. Rest assured, you will be duly rewarded for your patience and effort.
