TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS

Tales is one of the best Yes albums ever. It´s obvious step after Close to the Edge and I don´t understand that same people likes Close but hates Tales. Close is match more difficult album than Tales. Tales has harmony from the beginging to the end, it´s musical voyager, Odysseus, Ulysses, a journey to the ancient world, from creation till the end of times, it has it´s own world, own music. It takes you somewhere else, some another place and time, but the music is´t so difficult than many times people says. It has much acoustic quitars, much simple but beautiful melodies that grows little by little to huge atmosferes but everything is nicely under control. After short kaos in Ritual everything comes down to their own places and the harmony of the universe is perfect. Band made magnificent musical adventure and they survived! Well done! You must remember that this kind of music didn´t exist before! From a rock band to this is a long way but they made it in a few years! Is this rock or what, nobody can tell, it is it´s own kind of music, little bit same made Mike Oldfield with Tubular Bells, something that nobody ever done before. They create new kind of music, they were pioneers of trying limits of creation of music by rock band´s formula. Much further you can´t go without loosing control. Crimson and some other band´s tried but many failed. Yes didn´t fail.
