Notes: Rick's post-Yes albums have been hit and miss. Sometimes strong, sometimes trendy and sometimes a mixture of a little of both. This British import falls into the latter category. Overall a very nice range of material and the band is tight and it sounds like they were actually enjoying themselves during the session. I picked this one primarily for the front cover art. I'm not sure of the identityof the original artist, but this reproduction has an  elegant manner about it. It depicts motion in very quiet surroundings; he sound seems to fall away rapidly. The back cover, on the other hand...
