I was very impressed with Jon Davison on the Heaven & Earth album too, especially considering I'd never heard of him before.

^ You need to listen to his tenure in Glass Hammer. What Yes should be more like.

A very decent album, I was at the gig at Whitley Bay Ice Rink (near Newcastle) in October 89 when they toured.

ABW&H and The Big Generator are my fifth and sixth favorite YES albums. These are the two YES albums that my husband and I bond over. We listen to these two albums several times a year...often back-to-back. We played ABW&H's Quartet at our Wedding Reception. We danced. It's our song.
Wakeman's keyboards on ABW&H may be my favorite EVER! Incredibly majestic. Bruford's drumming leaves me slack-jawed. Howe is on fire. The melodies throughout are incredible. You go...Jon! And YES...I love Teakbois. This summer you couldn't get it...some of you get it. Get it? got it...good. Edited by omphaloskepsis - January 20 2024 at 11:49 |

I don't really enjoy the album, but next to Big Generator its luminant. And like Union, the concert was fantastic compared to the album. Especially Wakeman's solo.

A more than decent album issued during the" dark ages of prog rock"... don't forget it
Much better than subsequent Yes's production during the 1990ies Edited by mellotronwave - January 22 2024 at 15:36 |

I personally could never get why people were saying that the ABWH album sounded like Yes. In my opinion it had absolutely no sonic connection to the Yes sound. It sounded more like an arena synth pop kinda album to my ear. And evern for '89 there were formations that did the prog thing better like Pazzo Fanfano Di Musica for instance.

If you need a law firm, you could do worse than ABWH.

^ the last ever episode. Loved that show back in the day and still laugh at the early morning repeats on CH4 in the UK. BTW I totally misremembered that scene thinking it was Shelley Long's character that delivered the line not Kirstie Alley.

Ha! When I was searching for it I was sure it was Sam that said it. This is why you never open a 30 year-old cold case strictly on eyewitness accounts.

I went a LONG time without playing this but have recently been listening to it again. It's certainly not a masterpiece and it's "very much of its time", but it will always have a place in my heart. "Themes", "Fist of Fire", "Birthright", and "Let's Pretend" are my favorites. I've always considered "The Meeting", while beautiful, to be filler, and I really wish "Vultures in the City" had taken its place.
