I too am surprised that members of a prog rock forum wouldn't be more supportive of a band actually doing something different, like Sound Chaser, instead of simply continuing in the same vein. |
I think Relayer in general is quite different from the previous albums. |
I agree. Nothing usual about Gates and To Be Over has an unique atmosphere never done before or since.

Indeed I'm surprised Sound Chaser is losing now. I thought To bo over would be the first to go, given the votes. However, I don't complain.

Well, I'm hoping Soundchaser wins out as I think it was the most daringly different thing Yes ever did. |
Agreed. To Be Over gets my vote.

Sound Chaser is worth just for the guitar solo.

I just never had a problem with cha cha bit. In fact I like it a lot.

Only one track  There are parts of Sound Chaser that I really like though. At the end I don't like it much anymore, the part with the cha-cha's. Wasn't it Iván who also mentioned that several times on the forum? I feel the same way. I do like the radical experimenting on Sound Chaser, though. Gates Of Delirium and To Be Over are nearly flawless, hence my choice.

To Be Over. I don't really like the "Cha Cha Cha"''s in Sound Chaser, but the first half of that track is too good...

I agree.  It sounds more cohesive and less noisy, and Howe's guitar cadenza is much better.

Can I change my vote? ha ha----was torn and voted Sound Chaser but think it is really a powerhouse of prog---TBO is very pretty with amazing solo's by Howe and Moraz---but if you are in the mood for a wild ride---almost like none other in prog----that 10 minutes of Sound Chaser delivers----it's crazy.

Oh well, it seems To Be Over will be over first. As long as Gates of Delirium wins this, I don't really care so much. As a matter of fact, I like much better the instrumental versions Steve Howe has plyed of To Be Over, at about half the time, and his gorgeous guitars everywhere. He has played it several times in Yes concerts only with his guitar, and then he included another version of it in one of his studio solo albums, with the rest of a band (but without vocals)... somehow the melody sounds more magical in this formats, for me.
