RELAYER

This album is a highlight in the Yes discography. This is saying a lot, considering their output of great classics. Relayer is up there. All three tracks are great. Moraz is a great replacement for Wakeman.

The Gates of Delirium - Patrick Moraz is off to a flying start on Gates of Delirium. He brings a totally different energy to the track, very poignant. The rest is also on the top of their game, notably Steve Howe, Jon Anderson and Chris Squire. Who am I kidding? Alan White is great too. This is an epic, comparable with the greatest epics from Yes. And only slightly less brilliant. 9.5/10

Sound Chaser - Very jazzy intro followed by quintessential Yes. With the added flavour of Moraz, especially in the last three minutes. Which I absolutely love (while he had to fill some big shoes). 9/10

To Be Over - A great piece to close the album. Beautiful is the word that comes to mind. 9/10

This one is 4.5 out of 5 for me. Round to 5. It's great. a must-listen for prog fans. Decided to change the rounded rating from 4 to 5.
