As long as you remember that ELP is really Eddie, Lemmy & Philthy it's okay!

I saw Yes a few times from '71 onward and enjoyed the Relayer tour the most, likewise the album. It's aged pretty well. Moraz was a real asset, RIP

No, no, NO...!
Happily, it would appear that the Swiss synth wiz they call Patrick Moraz is still among us.
Don't SCARE me like that!

Around last Yul(e)tid(e) I got a revisitation by Yes after a conversation about Lap steel mentioned "The Gates Of Delirium". Never had properly listened to RELAYER before and that got me going through 'classics'. I've been acquainted with FRAGILE and CLOSE TO THE EDGE (and up to some extent the earlier ones) as a teenager but got traumatized by the TALES OF THE TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS shortly afterwards when hearing it for the first time in an extra-sensitive state. So the love affair was brief, but left it's marks. Steve Howe was a huge hero when I was 17, and not only because of Yes.
I read the Culpepers Orchard AOTM review when it came out, where Julian mentioned A TIME AND A WORD. I had to check it out properly, and found out that I actually dug it (well at least most of it). It's a somewhat singular affair in their discography, I think. And no Steve Howe and with string arrangements...
Sometime after that, when Chris Squire passed away, The Seth Man mentioned somewhere a crazy version of "Ritual" on the YESSHOWS double lp that got me intrigued (actually, that version of Ritual is definitely one of THE highlights of the Yes output for me, Chris Squire challenges Lemmy for sheer motorbass energy!).
Few months ago I got a German original pressing of THE YES ALBUM and actually 'heard' it the first time. Surprised how good it sounded (at least most of it) and how much I liked it. Gotta try the orig. U.K. press sometime, but that vinyl/production sounds excellent! Even exceptionally dynamic and detailed.
But yeah, the classics: THE YES ALBUM; FRAGILE; CLOSE TO THE EDGE and RELAYER and an extra honorable mention for TIME AND A WORD and YESSHOWS (if only for the version of "Ritual"!).
Still have to go through much of the rest of their 70's output, if only for the sake of being thorough...

My grandmother used to say: "The only things that you really HAVE TO do, are to live and to die...
So, a sound reminder.

Yeah man! That first Patrick Moraz solo album, "THE STORY OF I", is actually pretty good!
A dense keyboard/synth & (Brasilian!) percussion driven prog album with elements of glamorous symphonic space (ambient) rock and electronic enhancements that are as far out as the ones on "A Wizard, A True Star"!
For those interested. Vinyl seems to still litter the "bargain bins". Just skip the couple (well meaning) slowies...
And yeah, he's not dead apparently.
