Hmm, a reggae version of Time and a Word. Not sure if it's awful or genius. Now we're in a sort of lounge jazz version of "Wonderous Stories". I don't think I'll be buying this CD. |

Sounds tempting! On second thought - passssssssssssssss! Wouldn't mind seeing their upcoming show though, but the ticket service charge here in L.A. is an insult. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

| An excellent album in my opinion. Jon Anderson's voice seems perfectly fine to me and Mr. Ponty's music is phenomenal and the two seem to go together wonderfully. This album has a refreshing quality to these ears that I find most welcome. |

| Probably buy it as I love the Ponty stuff---but from what I heard, it sounds like JA solo stuff---Maybe it;s just me but he sounds like he's singing the same monotonous lyrics and music that he always does on his solo stuff. He really needed Yes where he did his best work. But the band sounds great---way better than the current Yes. |
