CD ReviewsAnother angry Wakeman! James M. Gifford | Phoenix, AZ USA | 04/02/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "With all honesty, the album is wonderful, and looks wonderful as it's predecessor from 1996. The live tracks here are beautifully performed, in fact the best version of "Time and a Word" in my opinion ever done. Somewhere along the line Rick again was outvoted as he wanted this record to stand on it's own. As a result, Rick left YES again, but this time it didn't matter- as I reviewed in Keys One- this was the Grand Finale' of Yes.
The Engineers toyed with the CD production at some point, and like the other reviewer I was fortunate to get the 1997 version, as I noticed one of the songs was given a hatchet job in the later release, and another a piece added. Nonetheless, the album is a full blown YES effort, despite "Mind Drive" from the studio being in it's 18 minutes somewhat dull- it has some amazing musical moments. Keys to Ascension One and Two, aptly titled and packaged, are YES at the end of their career. Although I forced myself to buy "The Ladder..." it was like a replay of the 80's. YES has given us masterworks of musical art. My story of YES ends here. But the collection of remasters and memories carry on. "High the memory."" |
