FISH OUT OF WATER

For those YES fans who have not heard this solo release you are missing out for sure! SQUIRE's first solo release is packed with superb YES-like musicianship. As you would expect the album does concentrate and accentuate the bass guitar side of life, but don't be misled... this album is packed with superb music. In many ways it is my favorite of all the YES solo releases and seems to have a very pure progressive feel to it. Chris is joined on the album by Mel Collins (Sax), Bill Bruford (Drums) and Partick Moraz (keys) to name a few who add some very rich moments to the album. Musically this album moves in and out of many moods and offers nice speaker dynamics. This is really a brilliant recording and the only criticism one could make is the absence of Jon Anderson, but then again you can't em all!!
