3 stars A Yes album by any other name. This 1989 recording has some excellent contributions from each of the named individuals, as well as from the under-credited Tony Levin on bass.

Sadly, the whole somehow seems less than the sum of the parts. The ideas just aren't strong enough, and it all ends up sounding a bit forced.

On the other hand, the live tour was excellent, featuring some excellent Bruford-Levin interplay. Unfortunately this didn't make it to the live album/DVD, due to Tony Levin falling ill (surely they must also have recorded earlier shows in the tour?)

Favourite track: Order of the Universe. Comes closest to authentic Yes, complete with multi-section titles.
