Bought at a Barnes & Noble store:
Yes - Fragile
Yes - Close to the edge
Yes - Relayer

The price was right, and I would no longer have to apologize for my limited knowledge of Yes. Have to admit that I was impressed with the instrumentation. Jon Andersons voice annoys me though. I wish they were all purely instrumental except for Roundabout, which is as nice as ever. I still need to get Tales From Topographical Oceans.

In the mail so far this week:

iamthemorning - From the House of Arts
Hope & Therapy - Webs

Early delivery today...

Be careful with that thing - it's been known to make grown men mad and women absolutely hysterical. I am a big fan myself but it didn't happen instantly. I had a hard time with the music to begin with. The altogether strange way of weaving pieces together and the choral outbursts happening in all the "wrong" places literally made my head spin. Heh....I love his style now though, but yes I still vividly remember the honeymoon How have you fared with the ol Igor? Has it started to make sense yet or is it still incredibly confusing?   Yeah, this is something that it takes a little time to come to terms with, but I'm making progress, and I think Igor is also helping me to be reincarnated in more enlightened form next time the wheel spins    Suffice to say that I spent a whole weekend listening just to these discs at the proper level of volume (wife was away, the neighbours hate me already...). And the more I listened, the more it made sense, although at the same time I seemed to become a small dark blue alien presence in my own kitchen.   Digging the hell out of it, but in order to retain semi-anthropoid shape I am now only listening to a couple of discs a week.   I reckon Les Fous d'Or is your acid test: once you start to realise its genius, you have grokked l'essence d'Igor

Sounded pretty good flicking through a few tracks, Sam, will order it myself when I get home.

Arrived today...

Naidem's Ghost-- In Sheltered Winds.

Another small haul.

Public Enemy-- Live at metropolis studios
David Bowie-- Blackstar. ( great detailed account of a dying man. Epic in its own right and it's actually maybe the best album he's ever done. What a goodbye. )

On Saturday...
