1 stars Sorry, this completely misses the mark. Nothing from Squire's solo work or Conspiracy! Half the album given to Wakeman (I wonder why, considering Wakeman's producer produced it?), including dreadful pieces like "Ice" which make me wish I was drowning instead of listening to it. Fair enough, have something by Earthworks - too bad I'd rather put my hand in a meat grinder than listen to "Up North" - that song is terrible. Everything by Anderson and Howe is totally unrepresentative and mediocre. Did they HAVE to choose the lame Walk Don't Run and the songs where Howe PAINFULLY sings??? Did they have to dredge up Anderson's most repetative and boring songs EVER? There's all this 70's Yes material, so why not put in ANYTHING from Fish Out of Water, Olias of Sunhillow, a Bruford/Moraz song, Asia... I could bring myself to tears thinking how brilliant this album SHOULD have been, and how shockingly bad it actually is. As usual, the greatest band on earth is disgustingly, woefully shortchanged by faceless managers and accountants...
