Siberian Khatru never seemed out of place on the album to me... certainly not as out of place as (for example) Kings Of Speed on Hawkwind's Warrior On The Edge Of Time. Perhaps I'm biased because I prefer Siberian Khatru over And You And I. Also, I don't hear any disco in Siberian Khatru. |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I don't know is just that SK is funky and I dont think C.L.G and you and I have a very different feeling.

Also I love it more than the title song (b-side is better than a).

The song provides some variety to an otherwise very even album, and it's a great concert opener.

Pretty much rivals the title track in my mind. So many great Yes qualities in one song!

Siberian Snafu is sub-par in comparison to the other two compositions on CTTE.

I agree, always thought it rivaled Close to the Edge. Especially in concert.

Great song. That does not mean the rest of the album is not great as well.

A solid track but I definitely like the second half of the song better.....but it's not 'out of place' imo.
