1st vote for Ritual.  The album has a particularly strong opening and a particularly strong ending.  Since the one has been well supported so far, the other needs some attention.  And the stuff in between is pretty good, too!
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

The Revealing Science of God really sets up the whole album so I'll go with that.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

Recently I have come to appreciate the rich tapestry that comprises the Remembering. Which is not to say the other three songs aren't amazing, just that Remembering is the one I'm currently listening to the most.

Ritual, then The Revealing, then The Remembering, and finally The Ancient.

The Revealing Science of God (up there with Gates, CTTE and Awaken)
The Remembering - (love this track some great passages in it)
Ritual - some lovely moments  - some great vocal parts by Anderson
Ancients - only really like the acoustic ending!

Love 'The Revealing....' (vinyl side one). 'The Remembering' comes a very close second (Side 2 of the first record). I used to listen to the first record repeatedly but never cared so much for the second disk. Maybe it's time to re-evaluate?

I've always felt The Revealing Science Of God was the best song ever written but the second half of The Remembering might be Yes' finest 10 minutes.

Add the Remembering and Ritual and I am in complete agreement.  The six best songs on the planet.

I did as well, and also because it is my personal favorite side of the album!  

When "The Remembering" rips wide open, there is no better Yes!
