So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[jazzbo]

Re-visiting another Yes album I don’t think I have listened to since I moved from Austin a dozen years ago.

An unusual one that showcases two different editions of Yes. Sure sounds great on my present system, so different than I remember it sounding when I had the Torii Mk III in the system.

One of these days, I should listen to this. From the beginning, it's been almost universally panned as "not a Yes album" due to the crazy circumstances surrounding the making of it. It's almost like the band should have been called Yes².

I never paid attention to what people might think about this or other albums by Yes. I liked that Yes morphed but retained a certain identity that had an appeal to me. The only exception are the albums without Jon Anderson. Anderson is an essential ingredient for Yes.

More snow, and our furnace is acting funky; beyond my ability to solve though I’ve kept it going with frequent visits to the root cellar. Waiting on a service call back.

Continuing on with my Yes re-visit with “Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe”

Short (under 40 minutes) but sweet.

I'm listening to this too:

I'm streaming it via YT, deciding whether I'm going to plop for the Mack Avenue reissue.

Of course, I probably will.
