1977 and Punk rock is just warming up and ready to hit the world..............Rick Wakeman has come back into the Yes fold........The five members are out in Switzerland and the press are ready to bury the progressive dinosaurs.........
Yes sit back breath deeply and produce another classic.................the roots of this one are still in progressive music and they have not decided to sell out........instead they take progressive music a step further..............the tracks are shorter full of punch and yet still tender when it counts....................gone are the dream world fantasies and incomes more sharp edged story telling.............
Excellent musicianship is still important as is the clearer use of vocal instrumentation to create a feeling..................And so we are down to five not so long tracks all with their own special appeal....The stars are "Wondrous Stories"
and "Going For The One" which introduce Yes to the singles market..........."Turn Of The Century" shows that the beginnings of solo projects are not far away and " Parallels" and "Awaken" show that the collective productive Yes are still together and functioning...............................Yes show that they can adapt and that changes are coming.......................stay tuned for the next installment

Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
