There's something strangely appealing about the drumming in the verses of "Long Distance Runarond". There's a snare hit on every fifth beat, which produces a rather disorienting polymetric effect in relation to the 4/4 time signature of the song. And at the end of each verse, the interval between the snare hits is shortened to four beat and then three, increasing the tension. The great thing is that this produces the desired effect even if you have no clue about the technical side of things: The song seems to be restless and perpetually afloat. I bet that with any other drum track, the tune would lose a great deal of its appeal. |
Wow! I did not notice that!

I like the Fish. 7/4 is the swingingest time signature ever.

For me they are both like one same song, the vocal part and the (bass) solo part (just like Starship Trooper with Wurm to close it), so listening to one without the other just sounds incomplete...

Long Distance Runaround for me, maybe the best short Yes track ever. There's nothing wrong with Fish though ... |

The Fish on Yessongs is absolutely mind blowing when played very loud.
Runaround is a very nice song but doesn't reach the same heights.

The Fish is just more interesting to listen to for me.
