| | Ultimate Yes: 35th Anniversary Collection CD Yes Discography of CDs
 (10 Customer Reviews)
Recorded between 1969 & 2003. Includes liner notes by Chris Welch. For a band with outsized ambitions like those of prog-rock pioneers Yes, it makes sense to release an anthology that spreads itself out grandly over three discs. With ... Full Descriptionits third disc, a home for 20 minutes of newly recorded bonus tracks, the appropriately titled ULTIMATE YES stops just short of box-set length (there have already been two of those to tell the group's story), but finely chronicles Yes's long career. Through a maze of head-spinning personnel changes, almost every album is touched on, from the early post-psychedelic phase (the title track of TIME AND A WORD) to the first musical muscle-flexing of guitar hero Steve Howe ("Yours Is No Disgrace"), the arrival of keyboard wizard Rick Wakeman (several tracks from milestone FRAGILE), and the band's high-water mark, CLOSE TO THE EDGE (the almost funky "Siberian Khatru").
"Tempus Fugit" from the under-appreciated, sans-Jon Anderson DRAMA, and a trio of tracks from the "comeback" album 90125 represent the finest of Yes's '80s output. Latter-day tracks ("Lift Me Up," "Homeworld") find the band's might undiminished decades into the journey. Hardcore fans will have all this material already, but will be drawn in by Disc 3, containing four brand-new pieces recorded in an "unplugged" acoustic format, including interesting re-workings of FRAGILE's "Roundabout" and the epic "South Side of the Sky."

You can get the single disc greatest hits or the full blown box set, but what about something that fits nicely in the middle? Well my friend you can get it here with this excellent package.Not enough material on the single disc , and maybe too much for ya on the box set and this one fits the bill perfectly.Re-mastering is top notch and the 3rd disc has some nice newly released versions that are acoustic based. Freakin' smokes!

 $9.19   
One of the high-water marks of progressive rock (and thus of 1970s rock in general), CLOSE TO THE EDGE found British prog godfathers Yes firing on all cylinders. Throughout their history, they've undergone numerous lineup changes, but this album featured the "classic" formation responsible for their absolute finest achievements. Here Rick Wakeman is at his Moog-goes-Baroque best behind the keyboards, Steve Howe sounds like a blues guitarist from Mars, ...

It was widely assumed that when vocalist/songwriter Jon Anderson left Yes at the end of the '70s, the band was doomed. Most folks forgot that bassist/composer Chris Squire was the other founding member of the band, and he had as much to do with their sound as Anderson. It was surprising enough when the band decided to continue with a new vocalist and keyboardist. It was even more surprising when the new members turned out to be Trevor Horn (later a famed pop producer) and Geoff Downes (who would soon depart ...

When Jon Anderson rejoined Yes after DRAMA, he was inserting himself into an unusual situation. Keyboardist Geoff Downes and longtime guitarist Steve Howe had left to form Asia with prog rock vets John Wetton (King Crimson, Roxy Music etc.) and Carl Palmer (ELP). Chris Squire and Alan White brought original Yes keysman Tony Kaye back and recruited vibrant young Australian guitarist/vocalist/composer Trevor Rabin. The ...
