KEYSTUDIO

Would I give five stars in comparison to Yes GOING FOR THE ONE? Not quite. GFTO is still one of the ten albums to take to a lonley island: Beatles, Mozart, Brahms, Prince and Bill Brufords first UK album would be the rest. But KEYSTUDIO is remarkable! This is 20 years from GFTO and this really is like 20 years and it is like one day at the same time. Billy Sherwood is a good producer, has done a good job on this material, but I never understood, why anybody would want to add Billy Sherwood as a second guitarplayer to a band that has a Steve Howe on guitar? So this five piece Yes line up is the best line up so far. And they are having fun in the studio! A very positive album, a mighty album, spiritual too. Yes have the capability to open doors and windows to some kind of (musical) heaven. They do it a lot on KEYSTUDIOo! I would love to see more material of that quality made available by Yes. Be it old or new! So in the end: KEYSTUDIO is miles high above average rock or pop, this got to be five stars!
