I had a bootleg of "Tales From Topographic Oceans" at Madison Square Garden. I lucked into getting the CD. I was in a P/T facility for an extended period following surgery and found out that while I was laid up someone had ransacked my house, taking all of my CDs (over 1,500!) , my stereo equipment, and many other things. I'll never be able to find another "TFTO" live recording...unless they release an "official" tecirding. Rick Wakeman was absolutely great on it...even tho he disliked "TFTO."

All right guys so glad you're back to Tales! Some critics including even Rick Wakeman groused about this album but it still stands as an epic Prog masterpiece. I was fortunate enough to see this early in the tour when they were doing all four sides of the album. The show was part one Close to the edge ( entire album) part two Tales From topographic oceans. It was performed in quadraphonic. I was 17 years old it changed my life. It is thrilling for me to see young music fans like yourselves experiencing this wonderful era of music.✌️😎☮️

Vangelis auditioned for Yes when they were gearing up to make the Relayer album. They showed him how the songs went but he could never play them the same way twice. Everytime they did a run through of a song he would play it completely different than he did the time before. Finally they brought in Moraz (who actually auditioned on Vangelis's keyboards) and he came up with good parts immediately. Yes was never a jam band. Their songs had composed parts. Suposedly one of the reasons Bruford left was because he wanted to be able to stretch out and improvise.

If you both like this music so much now then all I can say is hold on to your hats. Tales only ever grows and grows on you year after year. When this Album came out CTTE was my favorite Yes album and CTTE remained my favorite album for some time. But this album has special Yes magic. It gets better and better and over the years it becomes a complete masterpiece. This song is so great so wonderful and such a great ride. The reason this is my favorite Yes album is because here Yes has time and space to really develop a wonderland of sound unlike any other. CTTE was over too quick but now you can take a real ride in the Yes time machine. How was this done in 1973? The only answer we had was that this band was from another time and planet! This album if you take some time will grow into soul and leave in wonder forever. Great reaction and great comments. RIP Alan White and Chris Squire two greats from the greatest band ever! Your music in this song lives.

The greatest opening to a Yes track. Monumental musicianship and vision plus execution. Imagine being this talented at such a young age to produce this, I have loved this for almost 50 years. The best keyboard solo ever, Steve won an award for his sustain work, Alan's first album track, and Chris is epic throughout. What vocals and harmonies, it is genius and all should be hugely proud at making it.

Jon uses words like a poetic musical instrument. Words appear and have a feel of their own. They also draw on deep feelings inexplicable to the listener. Well, most listeners. On Tales Jon is more deliberate as the album liner notes explains. This album when listened to in solitude instills revererence and awe. It's a deeply spiritual album.

WOW Yall waited all your live's for this moment ..Finally made it to the spiritual retreat of bliss that opens TALES. I saw all 4 sides Live in 73 and CRIED the entire time but of course we were on Ellis D. I still cry. RSOG is pure bliss. Jon's words are an instrument first but dismiss the lyrics. It takes time to interpret. I can translate YES lyrics into English. I have always understood through their abstraction and simple complexity . The opening chant is all about the first dawn, the beginnings and evolution of life. The rest is simply the experience of life and the magical things that keeps reminding you why existence is so incredible. We just have to trust, listen & cherish all the signs and take nothing for granted even another daybreak 🌅.... "they move fast to tell me but I just can't believe they really mean to".... this is the time of Stars whose purpose is to create life..."Starlight, movement, reasons Release forward tallest rainbow Sun shower seasons, life, flower reasons". I was blessed to meet and work with Jon briefly 10 years ago and just recently talked with him at an event in LA.. He and his wife looked great & asked me to stay in touch. As a teen Jon was my music Guru & Messen-jah. I cherish his artistic gift immensely. 70s YES were that rare Star & there will never be another.

Lex! You decked out for this reaction and look amazing, and Nick as always, rocking a great Dan t-shirt. Prior to listening, I have to say, “I must have waited all my life for this, moment moment… moment”. I know in advance I’m going to love this. The music is in my soul…. The concept for the album, as you may know, was inspired by Jon’s reading of some Indian spiritual texts. The lyrics are not nonsense, but necessarily are the best signposts to what was in Jon’s head and speak to our spirit, not our intellect. Magic! Now that the song has ended and I know how much you both loved it… well, it was worth the wait.

The Ancient may surprise you by how percussive it is, but like others are saying, after you've heard the studio versions, you should really seek out live footage of all 4 songs. They really take on a different life in concert. Still amazes me that this was Alan's first studio work with the guys! Like he didn't get thrown in the deep end enough having to learn everything for the Yessongs tour when replacing Bill at the last minute. Then following that up with this complex work. Great reaction and so glad to see you enjoying one of my top Yes albums. Be looking for something Yes-y in your next unboxing, too. I think it just arrived today. 😉👍💗

Brilliant reaction to my favourite Yes song. You were spot on regarding CTTE, as it mirrors it in lots of ways, such as the water sounds at the start, the epic keyboard solo near the end, the big vocal anthem at the end, the effortless shifting from serenity to thundering chaos, but all on a much grander scale, which makes me like it more. My favourite passage of Yes music ever is the "old fighters past" section, it's so beautiful and simple. Thanks for doing this, and now please listen to the rest of this glorious album.

One of the great games when listening to Yes is focussing on different instrumental parts for a while and hearing how it works in counterpoint to everything else. You were doing that with the bass line at one point and trying to predict where the beats and notes fall 😉. And yet for all its complexity, the music as a whole flows and ebbs and describes one great musically narrative arc. This is a piece you listen to again and again (for 50 years and more) and still find new nuances and renewed pleasure.There are quite a few other reactions to it out there by the way. I think people who understand music and are prepared to listen to things beyond surface appeal do get it, no matter what their cultural or musical background.

A lot has been said and written about what Wakeman thought about the Tales album.

So to help you out with Yes listening, Jon used his lyrics often, as you stated, as an instrument. However, in TFTO there is a definitive theme and message if you read the album liner notes. Also, Yes were hugely influenced by as well as enamored with the music of Stravinsky. Stravinsky utilized a style where there were often three distinct and independent themes going on at the same time culminated in a synergy of sound to form wonderfully sonic concepts. So you will often hear the keys playing one theme, the guitar something else, and the bass yet another theme! Think back to Close to the Edge as an example. For many years, Yes opened their live shows with the Finale from Firebird Suite by Igor Stravinsky. Simply fantastic,

My friend and I bought this album the day it came out. We were freshman high school students. We each bought a copy and went back to listen to the entire album at my friends house. We thought it was the best thing we had ever heard. I had to laugh when Lex said that she did not understand the lyrics, because neither did we. But we were still trying to analyze the album before this: Close to the Edge. We just figured that YES "probably" knew what it was about and we would figure it out later after many listens. Well, after all these years I am still trying to figure it out. Like most YES songs, their lyrics mean different things to different people or each listener and even that can change over the years with each listen. This is my favorite album and I am now 63 years old. The Revealing Science Of God and The Remembering are my favorite songs off the album. You both are reacting very much the same way we did so many years ago. Rock on and thanks for the great reaction. Jeffrey.

Lex, now go listen on the couch in the dark and relax into it. Once you take away the stress of the desk chair and the reaction you will love it even more and in 50 years time you will still be discovering things in the piece.

What always gets me about Yes is the incredible interplay between Squire and Howe. It's simply on another level of musicianship. It's a shame that Rick Wakeman didn't care for 'Tales' since he was fabulous on it...

Rick thought there was "too much filler" as he puts it and says that if it had been released in the CD age, the amount of materiel they had would have fit perfectly. He thought there was not enough there for 2 vinyl records, so they had to pad it out some. But I think he's softened his stance somewhat on _Tales_ in later years.

My favourite side of Yes Music, just pips Close to the edge for me but it really is a close run thing. When Nick says listening to yes is like being high he is spot on, I am convinced that my love of progressive rock and YES in particular kept me off drugs in the late 70s as it gave me all the highs I needed and was always capable of lifting my mood.

I read many sci-if fantasy novels with this album on in the background. If I had a spell caster in D&D it was lyrics from this album that made up any verbal components needed for the spells. It is nerdtronic, nerdtastic, nerdigiastic.

and Anderson\s lyrics DO make sense. Except that each person will make their own sense of it. That's what great poetry is all about. 🙂

YES had some of the most evocative lyrics. Whether Jon meant anything with them or not is irrelevant. It is a piece of art. What do the lyrics mean to you? There are no wrong answers. Blessings.

I thought I hated this album for three decades then heard it again through a reactor’s ears. And it turns out I loved it all along. I was spoiled by Close to the Edge etc. This is more subtle ❤

Absolutely true! When I first got it (vinyl) I thought though it had breathtakingly beautiful passages, overall, it seemed kinda weird and disjointed. But I was 21 years old and didn't know anything. But, like you, I revisited it years later, being disappointed with Yes in the 80's on. It took that long to be able to appreciate what they created, and now, TRSOG is my favorite Yes song of all time. An incredible, moving journey. ✌️

In high school, in the mid 1970s, I checked the cassette, “Tales Of The Topographic Oceans” out of the library. I played it three times and thought it was long, boring and it meandered. About 10 years ago, online I would run into people who thought this album is a classic. I purchased the Compact Disc version of the album. I played it and now love it,

Absolutely one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite albums. If you listen to the lyrics they match the soul of the piece. TFTO is such a great album! It just takes more and more listens and it gets better every time!!

I’m glad you reacted to the original version of the song, rather than the edited version on the album (started right in with lyrics.) The restored intro adds so much atmosphere and mood. And that chant is just out of this world.
