TWELVE INCHES ON TAPE

Wow, looks like this is a fairly rare collector's item. What a good find for a quarter! These are the two big ones (I would think) from the 90125 album which doesn't seem particularly popular. I never felt too crazy about it, but I always loved these two songs here,

This is cheesy stuff here, but it's all made up for the fact that I don't care because it's truly creative and interesting! There are the originals and then there is a remix for each song. I prefer the originals but it's certainly interesting to hear the different versions that (I think) you can't hear anywhere else.

A few years ago in middle school I got a Yes compilation which had these two songs. I couldn't put my finger on why I liked this stuff so much. When I showed my friends "Leave It", they went "Oh, God, no! 80s!" But I could listen to it over and over. Man did I like that song!

The guitar solo in Owner Of A Lonely Heart has an interesting and unique screechy sound which is one example of how they take something like 80's dance music and manage to make something exciting. And then there's Leave It which is just full of neat, weird little bits, and voices popping in and out as though appearing all around you and disappearing after singing each note.

At the moment I wouldn't get that into these songs, but that's because I've heard them so many times. I think it would be more reasonable for me to make it a solid 4 stars - the way I felt when I was most into it.
