Rating:  - A masterpiece
Those of you who haven't listened to CTTE,run, don't walk and get yourself a copy. It isn't easy to hear the beauty inside. It may take a few tries to 'get' it,but there is a true masterpiece here.
This is not hard rock. It is not rhythm and blues. It is it's own thing. This is Yes pushing their boundaries and those of the listener back in 1972. Today it is still not easy for the uninitiated to grasp. There are odd time signatures and tricky melodies and harmonies.

(not a song!) is an epic musical adventure....almost like a symphony, it's broken into 4 sections, but blended together seamlessly. If Beethoven were alive today, I am sure he'd agree.
"And You & I" is a shorter version of a similar concept. The melodies in this pice ... Read More
