Music Comments & Discussion
I first heard this band and this particular album
while tripping on Acid. In spike of the acid,
this whole album is just fantastic.
Aside from Deep Purple, YES is my all time favorite
type of musid. Very powerful, panoramic in scope,
and the most creative useage of instruments I've
ever heard.

About this Music
CD > POPULAR MUSIC > ROCKWhat's it all about? "A seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace / And rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace." Actually, it really doesn't matter. Later they would fragment and lose focus, but here is Yes functioning for once in the band's tortuous career as an organic unit, and individual elements--such as Jon Anderson's trippy lyrics--are less important than the whole. Even Rick Wakeman's Rachmaninoff-for-Hammond-organ excesses work in context, compensated for by Steve Howe's amazingly fluid guitar (equal parts Charlie Christian and Chet Atkins), in turn counterbalanced by Chris Squire's behemoth Rickenbacker bass and Bill Bruford's jazzy drumming. This is rock music informed by the improvisational spirit of jazz and allied with the grandiosity of the classics. Love it or hate it, Close to the Edge is the definitive prog album. --Mark Walker
