![]() ![]() Like "it`s time for another YES`compilation, as the contract says"! (I could be wrong).Īnyway, it has some good songs, like "On the Silent Wings of Freedom" and "Into the Lens", both very good songs takenįrom underrated albums like "Tormato" and "Drama", respectively (I could have chosen "Machine Messiah" in place of "Into the Lens"). Included in this CD are not really the best or the more representative of the band`s music. So, many songs like "Roundabout", "And You and I", etc., have been re-released on severalĬompilations! This "The Best of YES" compilation is a strange compilation, because some of the songs In 1993 there was another compilation called "Highlights- The Veryīest of YES". Then, "Yestory" (1992), which itself is more like a compilation of tracks taken from "Yesyears" but Included as an official album in their official website`s Discography section). Want!

I think that the edited version of "Soon" would have worked better. The choice from "Relayer" is hard to believe : "Sound Chaser" is the weakest number of thisĪlbum (IMO). I understand they skipped "Tales" : it is rather difficult to get a twenty minutes track on aĬompilation (at least if it consists of only one CD). We even get two tracks from "Close" which is also defendable since it is a real masterpiece. "Heart Of The Sunrise" from Fragile is a very good choice (one of my all time fave). The "Yes Album" is ignored (were "Yours" or "Starship" not good enough to be here) ? "America" is a very good choice of a rare track (but this extended version was alreadyĪvailable on "Yesterdays" - another compilation from 1975). Track "Time" would have been much better).

Originally just a protective cover for the fragile crackly goods beneath, it soon evolved into a space for artistic expression in its own right, very often becoming as important as the music itself. The rise of digital music, unfortunately though, threatens one of the greatest canvasses of art seen in the 20th Century - the record sleeve. ![]() With the rise of streaming the humble album cover is becoming something of a lost art, which is a crying shame as this list of the best album covers of all time proves that there is some amazing art for the long player. ![]()
