This was the latest Yes album when I first became a fan! To this day, it still holds up and I think it is an energetic, spirited take on the Yes sound for the '90s.

From the opening track 'The Calling', the band are in fine foot-stomping form with great melody and knotty interludes to spare. White's drums are higher in the mix than usual which re-inforces the band's backbone after some lightweight albums.

The beautiful vocal harmonies of 'I Am Waiting' send shivers down the spine, while 'Real Love' and 'State Of Play' have a welcome splash of metal riffing, electronic percussion and funky drum loops.

'Walls' (co-written by Supertramp's Roger Hodgson) feels like the only true concession to a commercial pop format while 'Where Will You Be' is polished and cinematic.

Last but not least we have the 15 minute suite 'Endless Dream' which begins dauntingly with knotty keyboard and guitar passages before moving through an escalating melody and climax.

This album neatly closes the Trevor Rabin era of Yes (although the guitarist would tour with Anderson and Wakeman some years later) and it is arguably his finest album with the band and certainly the last time Yes dared to look forward artistically rather than backwards.
