I, for one, hate that ambient intro! It drags on & on, sounding like the guitar noodling I used to do when I was first learning (using volume pedal swells etc.). The superior Yes mixes, IMHO, are always the original Eddie Offord mixes. I have a CTTE CD that was a very early CD, cut right from the analog studio tapes. Sure, lots of hiss etc., just like Eddie would have heard!! |

This remix is really something
. The chorus "What happened to these songs we once knew so well" give me goosebumbs -- after 30 years - TFTO as it may have sounded in the head of Jon Anderson and Steve Howe. , Hard to believe music was once so great . Edited by Devoncir - October 21 2016 at 20:31 |

Exactly. Right from analog masters. Hiss and all that analog noise always confuses kids, but they donīt understand that backround noise does not lessen the actual information music in any way, itīs just tape noise. Nothing to worry about.

About new listenings and perceptions of Yes's music, I'd just liked to report this youtube channel : https://www.youtube.com/user/vzqk50HD/videos
The guy did an incredible job expressing his perception of prog music, Yes in particular. His works covers tons of various tracks. I have spent three of four hours the other night enjoying his work and of course Yes's music I haven't listen to for a long period. It's really worth checking out, with videos on full screen :). My apologies if you all know these videos for years... -- Yves http://jazzcomputer.org - Ambient Jazz Music |

One of the "criticisms" of Tales is that it goes on too long. (You get the opposite criticism when you get to 90125 and Asia).
Just wondering how it sounds in one hit on a DD without the tedium and torture of actual motion to change discs. Or was that the problem? Having to turn over a record all the time to see what happens next? I'm looking forward to this "new" intro. I wonder how Yes would have wanted this and CTTE had this technology been available then. |

1 - I don't undestand "too long" when every second is wonderfull -- maybe Can Tago Mago is too long, Meddle IS too long. Maybe the 9th symphonie of Beethoven is too long? - Wagnerīs The Nibelung ring IS TOO long (8 hours?), this I will listen only when I understand german. "Too long" is dumb criticism. 90% of all the criticism in the world is dumb. Now, with the internet, 99,9% 2 - Without changing discs is better, more fluid, "Revealing/Remembering almost one song 3 - New intro is not really something to look foward. Just sounds of the sea and ambience with sparce notes. 4 - Yes, I also wonder about that. But then second though: one of the things I like in classic prog is exacltly the lack of technology.
