Excluding the debut?! I've always liked their debut, surely a young band looking for their sound, but very enjoyable or me, and I dare say better than Tormato. Big smile

I also disagree with Tormato being better than most which came after. Drama, 90125, Big Generator, Talk and Magniication are better IMO, far more interesting and entertaining than Tormato.

My fourth fav by Yes after 90125 CTTE & Fragile and pretty equal to TfTO and Relayer. 

I guess none of those to whom we owe the cover did really matter too much whether this would be the ideal one, and it's rather funny how they'd come to this result ! 

"Er... Huh ? OK why not !"

I find graceful beauty, also a nice blending of patterns and tones, Arriving UFO has both candor and craziness in the same pretty amazing piece... A lot in it has the right dynamics and ingredients for me to trip on

I'm giving it a listen right now, it's just... Messy, messy is the right word for this album. It doesn't have the regal spacy-beauty of 'Going for the One'

At least the cover matches the music
The Wheel of Time Turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the shadow.

Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time...

I can't trade my copy of Tormato. It's part of a 5-CD box set, so I'm stuck with it. Tongue
