Agreed ! Thumbs Up

But what about the Mix?
I'm considering if it's worth buying ...

I think the song that enhanced more was Ancient - sligltly softer guitar timbre, less "harsh" -- something that used to bother me in the original. Vocals and bass are clearer. There are arrangements all over that I haven't heard before. great job

The only problem with TFTO in my opinion was corrected: the timbre of Howeīs guitar in the opening of Ancient. I like Ancient, but that timbre was a little harsh, almost irritanting. Now itīs comfortable, less acute, and the bass is more marked. Ancient sounds more celestial than ever.
.
But "Remembering" is still my favorite prog song of all - my favorite song of all . This song make me feel a happy melancholy -- that slow opening make me miss something I don't know what it is, other lifes, like magic. So underrated.

Hi Chopper. Thanks for taking the time to read the piece. Sorry it wasn't detailed enough for you. I figured I'd go for a broad overview as my readers are not all prog fans but I'm trying to encourage them. The thing is that prog forums will have Yes fans who know way more detail on this album than my humble self and I don't want to tread on sensitive toes.
It's fine, I just want to know what the new stuff you can hear is!

Just to make it easier for people to click on.
 
Interesting read but I would have like more detail on what's actually different. I'm really looking forward to hearing this.

I've spun the album, on dvd and cd, a couple of times and came up with some surprising results.

Here's my blog review, written as a casual fan and writing for a diverse readership, and hopefully it'll address some of the more obvious queries from folk wanting a quick and basic overview on whether this new edition is worth getting hold of:
