Free Music Notes for The Ultimate Yes
Free Music Review: The Yes collection to own--one word: AWESOME!
Hit: 5 Stars
As a longtime die-hard Yes fan, I too am getting tired of all of these little Yes collections. In previous reviews, I've listed just SOME of them. There are so many, it's far too hard for one to keep track of them all.
But what makes 'The Ultimate Yes' worth the money is not the fact that all of the classics are here, which they are, but the fact that these are the newest Yes recordings, from 2004. And it's the classic Yes lineup and not the Beyond years lineup. Jon, Steve, Rick, Chris and Alan all reunite to make these new recordings, which include spectacular remakes of 'South Side of the Sky' and 'Roundabout,' both from the 1971 'Fragile' album.
And all of the classics are here. 'And You And I,' 'Wonderous Stories,' 'Roundabout,' 'I've Seen All Good People,' 'Big Generator' and the #1 hit "Owner of a Lonely Heart' all appear on 'The Ultimate Yes.' Did I mention they are digitally remastered? Yes, the sound quality is superb!
And the underrated stuff is here too. That means, all of the recent recordings, as in, 1991-2001 recent recordings, which are the years Yes were signed to Beyond Records. 'Magnification,' 'The Calling,' 'Lift Me Up' and 'Open Your Eyes' all appear on this set from the Beyond years.
And the '70s underrated stuff is here. 'Don't Kill The Whale' (from 1978's 'Tormato'), 'Soon' (an excerpt from the 21-minute long 'The Gates of Delirium,' from 1974's 'Relayer) and even 'Time And A Word' (from the 1970 album with the same name) all appear on this set.
My only complaint is that they did not include 'Arriving UFO' and several other fan favorites on here.
But overall, this is the Yes set to own. Highly recommended for any Yes fan that wants the best AND ONLY the best. For die-hards like me, buy it for the new (2004) tracks. 'Show Me' is one of their finest songs period.
Highly recommended for any Yes fan. ENJOY!!!
The Ultimate Yes Poster
In its day, the British prog-rock band Yes's three-letter name was a four-letter word to many diehard rock & roll fans. In time, though, its musical hallmarks have become intrinsic to college radio, that arbiter of cool. Its epic instrumental suites foretold jam bands, and its rapturously twee vocals were echoed in later groups like the Flaming Lips and the Polyphonic Spree. Packed into this three-CD set are tracks dating from Yes's origin as a uniquely virtuosic folk-rock act, covering Simon & Garfunkel's "America" of all things, to its resurrection in the mid-1980s in the hands of producer Trevor Horn, who would later gain renown with Art of Noise and Frankie Goes to Hollywood. In between are its cornerstone hits, the suite-like "I've Seen All Good People," "Long Distance Runaround," and "Yours Is No Disgrace." Inevitably, the later work, from the early 1990s on, fails to match the joy and rawness of the earlier recordings (sounds amplified thanks to remastering), but there are some new treats, including a spirited acoustic rendition of the band's signature "Roundabout." --Marc WeidenbaumFull title. The Ultimate Yes: 35th Anniversary Collection. Limited US version includes a bonus disc that features, Roundabout - (previously unreleased, acoustic), Show Me - (previously unreleased), South Side Of The Sky - (previously unreleased, acoustic), Australia - (previously unreleased, solo acoustic) and New World Symphony - (previously unreleased). Three CD's, 31 tracks in total, packaged in gatefold digipak. Warner. 2004.
