A MASTERPIECE!
This is the best overall solo work of any Yes alumni with Jon Andersons, "Animation", sadly still unavailable, in second place.

Unique Bass Style
Fans of Yes or golden-age Prog should not miss this 1975 solo outing by Chris Squire. Here you have Chris's distinctive pick-style playing backed up by Bill Bruford on drums, Patrick Moraz on keyboards, Mel Collins (King Crimson) on sax, and Barry Rose (The League of Gentlemen) on church organ. There's even a full orchestra, "Fish Out of Water" is smooth and Progressive, just like Yes in the 70s.

Timeless
Nearly 30 years old and still the best "Yes" album since "Relayer".
Squire has a limited vocal range but uses it it to great effect on the five tracks here. Nothing goes on too long, the playing suggests a real band and the production (Squire's own) allows everything to shine through the mix.
Anyone expecting 20 minute bass solos will be dissapointed but his muscular playing and signature sound underpin everything brilliantly.
Certainly the best Yes solo album bar none and a wonderful achievement in its own right. Timeless, intelligent music that even non-fans will enjoy. If you only buy one 30 year old solo album from a member of the worlds greatest progressive rock band this year, make it this one.

Brilliant
Just First Class and has certainly stood the test of time. Proving without doubt his compositional skills and the fact that he is amongst the best bass players of his generation.
Enjoy!

Different
This is much different than Yes music. At points it reminds me of Sting and the Police. Mainly Chris's vocals. Overall it is a good disc and a keeper with my Yes stuff. Great bass parts for the bass players. This disc does show off Chris's bass licks for the time period it was written and recorded. If this album was recorded now it would get Chris on the cover of Bass Player magazine
