<title>YES's Tales From Topographic Oceans</title>
<description> I just found this CD in used CD store and surprised it costs about $26 (boy it is almost same as new release). What makes this YES album so special?

Thanks

They are one of the reasons i picked up a guitar (them and Van Halen)...and I don't like everything Swedish, Ulrikakaka would fill a gap though.<br /><br />See you Saturday<br /><br />Tony ]]></description>

It is a return to the style of &quot;Fountians Of Light&quot; and will please most fans. I agree... &quot;Talk&quot; is forgotten by many people and is a good album. I liked it more than &quot;Union&quot; or &quot;Big Generator&quot;. The Peter Max cover was a nice touch too.<br /><br />Eric]]></description>

<title>RE: 90125 and Big Generator</title><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,483,602#msg-602</link><description><![CDATA[ Hi Guys,<br /><br />Yes, I agree that 90125 and Big Generator are great albums, and parts of Union too, but for my money TALK (1994) is an absolute masterpiece. Great production and less commercial songs using a lot of unusual sounds. Probably more of a Trevor Rabin solo album than Yes though.<br />Oh, and Eric, I was meaning to ask you how the new Starcastle album was coming along, and how does it compare to the first 3 style-wise?<br />And Tony, I can't believe you like Yes! They're not even Swedish!<br />Take care,<br /><br />Phil<br />]]></description>

<title>RE: 90125 and Big Generator</title><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,483,597#msg-597</link><description><![CDATA[ Yes is back to doing what Yes do best -Progressive Rock. &quot;The Ladder&quot; has been well received in Progressive Circles where it will remain. Like most AOR- Prog has gone underground, and Yes is the Prog equivilant to Journey in terms of popularity, so they will sell x amount of CD's no matter what.<br /><br />That said- &quot;The Ladder&quot; is the band's best in many years.<br />Eric]]></description>

<title>RE: 90125 and Big Generator</title><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,483,591#msg-591</link><description><![CDATA[ Big Generator is a great album too. It is true 90125 is a great album. But it is Big Generator I still like listening even today as an album. It is no wonder BURRN gave outstanding rating of 99. But to die-hard Yes fans this was their identity crisis. 90125 and BG became too palpable and became too popular ironically<br />they are tormented by them.<br /><br />Their recent album Ladder is the result of their struggle to get back their original banner. I heard this CD only through listening device but I felt old Yes is finally back with confidence.<br /><br />How about Ladder? Was it successful?<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Susumu ]]></description>

<title>RE: 90125 and Big Generator...Union too!!!</title><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,483,577#msg-577</link><description><![CDATA[ I too think 90125 is one of the best albums released by any band, ever. Big Generator was good, but I actually preferred &quot;Union&quot; to that one, and any album they've put out since then. I would probably be considered an outcast by most Yes fans because of this preference. Its good good good stuff in my opinion]]></description>

A ground breaking album. &quot;Big Generator&quot; failed to capture my imagination, as it lacked focus. The addition of real Brass brought into a couple songs left me cold too.<br /><br />Eric]]></description>

<title>90125 and Big Generator</title><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,483,529#msg-529</link><description><![CDATA[ I guess their pop-rock approach seen in 90125 and Big Generator surprised die-hard YES fans during 80s. I like both albums a lot and part of Owner Of A Lonely Heart is used in Nissan car's TV commercial clip now in Japan.<br /><br />How Yes fan felt about both albums?<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Susumu]]></description>

It's considered the many Fans to be boring and rather long winded. The double album was not well recieved at the time of it's release, and to this day is a tough listen unless you are a Fan.<br /><br />Eric]]></description>

<title>RE: YES's Tales From Topographic Oceans</title><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,483,503#msg-503</link><description><![CDATA[ Yes are one of the greatest bands ever to grace God's green earth, Tales is a long winded affair though, and should not be taken lightly. It is quite a rare CD (hence the price). If you want to hear Yes at thier best, then I suggest you check out Going For The One, Close To The Edge or for the ultimate LIVE album, Yesshows.<br />Live and learn.<br />Tony ]]></description>
