    I give Steve Howe lots of kudos for taking the time to learn how to play the lap steel guitar featured in the "Soon" portion. It is ethereally beautiful here, especially if your past experience with the instrument is hearing it all the time twanging along in old-style country music songs. Just as Howe managed to make album after album with Yes breaking new ground with different sounds and unique lines and runs, he also managed to adapt the lap steel guitar to progressive rock and use it in new and inventive ways.

    • @nancymjohnson

    This is really a work of art. I hope a lot more people discover this music. It's not for the average person. You'll never hear it on the radio since it'so long. But it's a song you can listen to over and over without ever getting bored there's so much to it. I love to listen to it during my aerobics workout. It really gets you going and puts your mind in another place. Before you know it half your workout is over. Yes is my favorite group but I didn't hear this one until the second concert I saw them. At the time I didn't really get into it. It's not easy to reproduce this one live - impossible. But latter on I rediscovered it and it's been my favorite for decades. Must have heard it a thousand times now. You can't appreciate it the first time. Keep playing it and you'll see what I mean. Glad to see your reaction. Doesn't seem like there will be complex rock music like this again.

    The first time my friends and I listened to this (actually the entire album) when it first came outwe were understandably blown away and nobody spoke for about 45 seconds until one of my friends said simply "We have to listen that motherfucker again." And so we did, the entire album in silence, mouths agape in amazement. After Going For The One I became disenchanted, but I still listen with reverence their first album all the way up to Going For The One on a regular basis. And now my wife thoroughly enjoys when I blast the ending of Close To The Edge in my truck like 16 times in a row....LLLLOOOOUUUUDDDEEERRRR!!!!

    This is probably the most "aggressive" sounding song Yes ever made. Until you get to the "Soon" part, obviously. Had to laugh when you hit those "that sounds weird" moments. This album makes me wish Patrick Moraz could have stayed with the band for at least one more. Not that I dislike Wakeman, but Patrick brought something really different. This also is probably Steve Howe's highlight album.

    • @dansonntag4685

    First saw Yes in the early 80's. They were touring with a round, rotating stage. Knew nothing about them, general admission scored 6th row seats. Was absolutely blown away. Next time they returned I had every album, knew every song. Yes and Rush were the best live bands in the world.

    Once you reach the point where you have listened to it enough times to play it all back in memory, you will enjoy it best. Because of the complexity, that can take awhile. BUT because of that same complexity I have never grown tired of it in over 40 years of enjoying this treasure.

    You life will never be the same. FYI there is only one live performance of this song that I can find. The original had some sound issues, it was outdoors in 1974 but someone dubbed a show from a few days later where the sound was really good. Unbelievable to watch this live from 50 years ago. YES did this song last year on their tour. Not the same with a different line up but still a work of art.

    You went deep into Yes with this one. This album is a fav of fans, but if we fans wanted to turn the average person in to Yes, Relayer might be one of the last ones to start with... unless we knew the person was very open minded about progressive music. (That said the last part Soon at the end was released as the single and very pleasant to the ears for any music lover. So thanks for being opening minded because this track delivers. The journey continues on side two with Sound Chaser and To Be Over. I love this album.
    Next classic Yes to listen to. Close to the Edge. And getting back to your reference about round about, the album Fragile deserves to be listened to from from front to back. 🙏🏻
