TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS

After "The Yes Album" and "Fragile" this release was the one that really got me into Yes. The four songs, each of them clocking 20 minutes, are simply amazing, beautiful and somehow relaxing! If you listen closely you can easily imagine the world shown by Roger Dean on the cover and the great musical work that is creating it. My favorite songs are the first and the last one. It's weird to hear yes singing "Nous Sommes Du Soleil" in french. I don't think it's possible to skip anything on this album! If you do, you'll break all the atmosphere! I'd give this release a perfect note, a must for any symphonic prog fans and a good recommendation for any prog listener.
