My review is produced using this release: D.V. MORE RECORD CD DV 6778

My Rating:6/10 PA Rating:3/5

1969 and 1970 in this compilation. That is very budget compilation,eEven if of thickness. This is a good compilation of Proto Prog years of Yes. In this sense the songs are very good and "Something's Coming" or "Dear Father" are two 100% Yes songs with "Looking around" or "Sweet Dreams". In general, nevertheless, who it loves the symphonic Yes, it will not find nothing of interesting in "Millennium Collection. Vice versa it will find good music. Interesting the booklet, with three pages of on stage photo very good. Unfortunately, if I don't wander, they check the Yes in 80' s and 90's. And, therefore, they don't go well with the songs of the CD (above all because the formation is different!!!). Returning to the music (after this note, really worthy of note considering the type of compilation), how already said it is Proto Prog. Very interesting "Something's Coming" (of Sondheim and Bernstein) that in this Proto Prog version is one of the best Yes song, "Dear Father", aged very well and another 100% Yes symphonic, "Every Little Thing" (of Lennon and McCartney), good and very powerful and "Then", to consider like first example of Yes style, above all for the drums' line.

Very budget and short (only 8 songs) and limit to the 1969 and 1970. But, to the end, still present and from not to consider itself a simple tribute to the Yes Proto Prog. Not only for the Die Hard Yes fans!!!

Thought I'd vote for "Then" as no-one else has - it's as good as any other song there, I feel.
