How can you omit Awaken???Confused

"Awaken" was omitted because it did not fill an entire side of the vinyl album.  "Wonderous Stories" was the 1st song on side 2, followed by "Awaken". Wink.  It's the same story with "And You and I" which I consider another major Yes epic but alas it shared a side with "Siberian Khatru".
Mind Drive could possibly have been included as it would have occupied one side of vinyl had it ever been released on vinyl (it's only a few seconds shorter than CTTE).

Voted The Remembering/High the Memory, one of my favorite songs of all time. All the others are of highest possible quality though if you ask me, if I had to rank them it would probably look something like this:

The Gates of Delirium
The Revealing Science of God
Close to the Edge
Ritual
The Ancient

But again, all of them are masterpieces to me.
Leave the past to burn,
At least that's been his own

CttE is an indefinable masterpeice. Delrium has to come close though as it brims over with inventive brilliant musicianship.

I'm surprised as well, I would have expected CTTE to walk this considering the album is 28 places above Relayer in the PA chart (at the time of writing). I assume it's the genius of And You And I that is responsible then.

Gates is probably my favourite epic by Yes. 
Yes have 3 of my top five (CTTE and Ritual being the others ,KE9 and Suppers Ready make up the top five)

1. The Revealing Science of God
2. Close to the Edge
3. The Gates of Delerium
I am currently digging:

Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz!

Please drop me a message with album suggestions.

CTTE.

On Relayer, I think Sound Chaser and To Be Over are both better than Gates of Delirium.

I know it's probably "Yes Blasphemy" but I've never been a big Wakeman fan & I much prefer Moraz.
