5 stars I am surprised no one has commented on this album yet. For this review, I am solely concentrating on the Remix of the controversial Tales From Topographic Oceans album, as it finally allows the lovers and haters to reunite. (Full disclosure I am no purist myself, I just like good music). Because Wilson has cut the 4 massive tracks into 20 tracks, with each album side being broken into 5 parts, the haters can finally skip over, or better yet make a compilation of their favorite parts of the album. Try it. I did it with 11 tracks, and think the album becomes something completely new, that will get many more repeated listens, and would leave Wakeman with a half filled bowl of Curry by the time it was done. I think, this compilation even jumps past Fragile in my mind. But certainly it cannot surpass The Yes Album, or Close to the Edge. I wish Wilson cut up Starship Trooper into separate parts, but again hard to complain about anything about this Compilation, and the time spent obsessively combing over these masterpieces.

5 stars It is befuddling that this remix by Steve Wilson hasn't drawn the attention of more users. I am sincerely hoping that posting this review will encourage you, my fellow prog traveler, to listen to a true delight of your aural senses. Wilson's remixes of classic prog albums has been a staple of my discovery of classic prog and his remix of Tales from Topographic Oceans and Gates of Delirium on this compilation is a particular favorites of mine. I find that the remix and remastering Wilson's applied has brought out more subtleties in the mix and balances the instruments quite nicely. There are 5 albums included on the remix. Enjoy!
