Maybe Yes’ bonus-track Beatles tribute “Mystery Tour” is just inoffensive fluff, but there’s a special place in my heart for this song.

My hopes and expectations have been satisfied by the release of ‘The Quest,’ an album worthy of the name “Yes.”

“Subway Walls” doesn’t quite match what we have come to expect from albums of all eras, but make no mistake: This is still good Yes music.

When ‘Fly From Here’ was released, I remember my excitement that Yes was still capable of transcending barriers which would have stopped other bands.

“Nine Voices (Longwalker)” is a loving tribute to the man who helped Yes to produce their best work for many years.

Boasting a dramatic and broad set of ideas, “Homeworld (The Ladder)” is Yes music of the highest order.

“Mind Drive” was a deliberate attempt to recapture the epic feel of Yes’ main-sequence albums – and it worked brilliantly.

The final song on 1994’s ‘Talk’ became a ’90s-style progressive epic, creating a lasting legacy for the Trevor Rabin era of Yes.

Yes begins 1994’s ‘Talk’ with a powerful tour-de-force that showcases some of the best aspects of this particular incarnation.

Each time I listen again to Yes’ ‘Big Generator,’ I’m struck afresh by its poise and expansiveness. “Shoot High Aim Low” is a perfect example.
