TALK

This is the first album by Yes I bought in 1994. Later on I bought "Close to the edge" I have to admit that I listen much more to "Talk" than to the supposed masterpiece of 1972. It is more fun, because of the slight overproduction and the bombast on this record. But to me it is only to some extent prog. Some gimmicks on the record give a hint towards that. Overall it contains long(er) tracks, but that doesn't make the album necessarily prog. No elements of fromer Yes-glory here. Still it gives me pleasure to lsiten to it (State of play, Real love and Endless Dream are my favourites) So I say it is a godd album, but since we are TALKing about prog here: only two points. t.
