  • PURANAS: The Ancient probes still further into the past beyond the point of remembering. Here Steve's guitar is pivotal in sharpening reflection on the beauties and treasures of lots civilisations, Indian, Chinese, Central
    American, Atlantean. These and other people left an immense treasure of
    knowledge.
    Lyrics:
    As one with the knowledge and magic of the source
    Attuned to the majesty of music
    They marched as one with earth
    Sol
    Dhoop
    Sun
    Ilios
    Naytheet
    Ah Kin
    Saule
    Tonatiuh
    Qurax
    Gunes
    Grian
    Surie
    Ir
    Samse
    So the flowering creativity of life wove its
    Web face to face with the shallow
    And their gods sought out and conquered: Ah Kin
    Do the leaves of green stay greener through the autumn
    Does the colour of the sun turn crimson white
    Does a a shadow come between us in the winter
    Is the movement really light
    And I heard a million voices singing
    Acting to the story that they had heard about
    Does one child know the secret and can say it
    Or does it all come out along without you
    Along without you
    Along without you
    Where does reason stop and killing just take over
    Does a lamb cry out before we shoot it dead
    Are there many more in comfort understanding
    Is the movement in the head
    And I heard a million voices singing
    Acting to the story that they had heard about
    Does one child know the secret and can say it
    Or does it all come out along without you
    Along without you
    Along without you

    1973. I was too young to comprehend. Brain Salas Surgery; Selling England by the Pound; Dark Side of the Moon; Larks’ Tongues in Aspic and Tales of Topographic Oceans. I think it’s worthy of a documentary.

      Can you imagine? It just fucking stopped being that good. And nothing as good has come since. 70s man...
      Don't think I'm old though, I'm just a young junkie looking for the biggest high and so far Classical and prog music remain unmatched. Jazz is also high level, but not my cup of tea tbh...

What a watershed of great music back then, and I remember saying to myself then, how can this get any better, and, it hasn't !

    I just want to be on the record saying The Ancient is one of my all time favourite YES songs. I'm sick and tired of the criticism TFTO gets for being too long, or I don't know what. Every minute in that album is a gift to us from the gods. This is my desert island album, the one I've chosen over Genesis' TLLDOB, over PF's The Wall, over ELP's Brain Salad, over LZ's Physical Graffiti, over Dream Theater's Metropolis and SDOIT, etc., etc.
    Listening to The Ancient is like listening to all the beautiful sounds as I take a trip around the universe on my own starship!

The beautiful theater, the kind audience, and of course, the lively band! Even at their age, they performed with finesse and were extraordinarily exciting to see! Although it was a shame they didn't perform from the Tales album, the experience was something my dad and I will never forget!

    I partly understand why Rick Wakeman left after Topographic but not fully. Six Wives aside (absolutely brilliant) he did afterwards rather indulge himself in whimsical and costly musical adventures,. His contribution across the whole of Topographic was, I thought, outstanding, proving he was absolutely critical to its success and that he was a vital band player in Yes.
    My believe is T from T O remains their most original and creative work.

      far from alone my friend. each piece is a masterpiece in its own right. but i have noticed, for myself at least, that each piece has been my fave at certain points ... i also think Tales and Relayer mark a very distinct period in the band's evolution....compared to other periods before and after, Tales and Relayer mark an intricate phase they were going through....by far my favorite era in their illustrious career.

      This has been my favourite track from the album since I got it the week it was released; I don't think the others come close. I think this music goes along with what came from Fragile & Close To The Edge as being the apex of what Yes achieved. Relayer was something else, it moved away in a new, & interesting, direction, but then all that was lost with Going For The One, & they never found it again

    No band but Yes would finish such an unusual side so beautifully. Topographic Oceans is second only to Close to the Edge for me, and sometimes it is unrivaled in 70s English prog, certainly in concept, breadth, and musicianship. The HD really brings the sonic goodies muffled on the original LP. Then again, maybe I had a crappy stereo in those days. 😳🎧

    I've got to confess, after approx 46+ years, since last hearing this composition, it didn't come across as the chaotic mish-mash that I first recalled, while in my late teens. With mature ears now, I can interpret it more easily; in fact I even picked out similarities in Chris's bass lines and Steve's angular playing, to John Whetton & Robert Fripp, of King Crimson, from that 1973 era (Larks tongues in aspic; 1st movement 2nd passage) who'd played in that frenetic fashion at times. Not an uncommon habit, stealing licks from your contemporaries, or vise-versa.
    But no, overall there's lots of melody in the piece. With hindsight, Steve could have left out that short, wailing sound effect from whatever instrument he used, just before introducing that glorious acoustic performance.....

    Actually I was in the category of those who thought Tales was too long; I'm reforming my view however. It requires a different sort of attention... as it is oceanic in structure, waves of movements appearing and disappearing; the Tales are being told in mythical counterpoint. Anyone got ideas about the guitar solo starting at 9.00 with each ascending phrase beginning on the tonic and ending a tone higher going through a total of 11 consecutive phrases? I always felt there was something symbolic going on here, its not random... maybe lost in the mists of hashish smoke-filled time?

    I saw this live. We use to do a lot of acid & go to as many concerts as possible but this was the only show I ever tripped at. They played the whole album. Starting with "The Ancient". It was not the best show ever I saw but it was actually pretty darn cool. Skynyrd & Tull beat them out. I was not tripping at those shows. lol Love YES! : )

    on 12:30 of The Ancient music video, This acoustic piece of the song reminds me of something religious, something biblical when Jon said "Under God sold out and conquer our King".

    My favorite from Tales. I don't mean the acoustic guitar though it ended the piece well. The grinding strings to open was pretty daring at the time, sure to be attacked by the critics. But Yes was always daring. After the success of Fragile, what other bands would have totally changed the format and record Close to the Edge?

    Probably the weakest of the 4 movements on the album in terms of composition and melody. But does it NEED to be as complicated and segmented as the others? It just feels so... primal. Conjures up images of a planet in formation, rife with tectonic shifts and seismic volcanic upheavals. A seemingly inhospitable wasteland, save for those lucky organisms who would one day evolve and intersperse themselves around the entirety of the globe.
    Including those that would eventually grow to rule the planet itself.

      @InScienceITrust 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Ritual Nous Somme Du Soleil was the most "accepted" dare I say, commercial track...weakest???
      No I have to say The Remembering holds that although weak is not how I would describe any of this album.
      The drum crescendo in Ritual, having seen it on the original tour with the Lady Bug Wings over the drum kit and the light show>>>>>Awesome memories..

    • @jcBurton2094
      @jcBurton2094 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      There is no such thing as a "weakest movement" from "Tales" - the movements complement each other brilliantly. But this movement is very different from the other three

      People are led astray . . . and often go astray enough on their own. Even priests go astray. And there is need for someone to pick up 'the word' (understanding) . . . hence, the many names for God.

      Ben Jones Tales is an homage to the earliest cultures spread throughout the world who built astrologically encoded monuments and structures and the mysticism associated with such culture's cosmological knowledge. On the cover of Tales from Topographic Oceans is the Mayan step pyramid in Chichen Itza Mexico, the Nazca Lines of Peru, and some of the famous Druid standing stones of Great Briton. There are cultures that predate ancient Egypt, the circular temple monument structures in Göbekli Tepe pre-date the earliest temple monument structures of ancient Egypt by some 6000 years. There are ruins scattered around the globe some archaeologists suspect are much older than anything in Egypt or Europe. Yes were hinting at Antediluvian cultures lost to time such as Atlantis though I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you imagine something of ancient Egypt in their music.

    This double album could have been reduced to a one LP great edit with a lot of the long instrumental jams shortened and it would have not been panned by so many including Wakeman. Over 40 years later it still has a special message!

    • @bazeye
      @bazeye 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If one had to reduce Tales to one 20 minute, and two 10 minute songs, like Close to the Edge or Relayer, I would have The Revealing as side one, and have the Remembering starting from "Don the cap" to the end, no Ancient, and Ritual up to the drum solo.

    And all is swallowed up by the drift. That's why USGS (and the like) is so intent on finding the uplift that will endure longest. They probably will end up looking for the gold scattered about in the magma like Jews to the wind . . . for their sins.
