I think I was like 13 or 14 when I had this album, and kept listening to it along with Genesis "selling England by the pound" and "seconds out", and it was the start of my lifelong relationship with melodic prog rock. This is my favorite Yes song/CD, but I also loved Drama.

@@stevewells2327 Buggles mashup is an excellent term for it. Squire was worried about the Anderson-Wakeman direction taking then in a direction he called "airy-fairy music". Unfortunately he used those very words in interviews published in Melody Maker and Rolling Stone. Squire went down a few pegs in my universe after that. Horn and Downes were brought in so Squire could re-define Yes as a hard-rocking pop group with shorter songs that might turn into hits. Squire was too much about business and not enough about music.

Turn of THE Century. I bought the album in '77 at it's release when I was 17. Still consider it one of their best. In 1978 I bought tickets to a concert for the first time in my life, Yes at Oakland Arena in California during the Tormato Tour (Tourmato). Not a bad rendition, but I'm disappointed that Steve didn't get more video time during the guitar instrumental portions. He's really amazing to watch.

I saw this song performed on the first leg of the going for the one tour in indianapolis. What you dont see in any of these clips is a film(looked like a holigram) of a girl dancing while the song was being performed. The light show of this tour was amazing..ok, so I was tripping but still the stage lighting and quad sound was astounding....still sticks with me from thirty nine years ago. Can someone come up with this show, bootleg or not it would be very much worth it..Side note...we saw the relayer tour before the album was released.I think due to record label difficulties. Didnt know what to expect but had to piece my brain back together after the show.completely blown away. Hope I didnt bore you but for you young people concerts back in the seventies were an art..a thrilling experience that sticks with you forever.. mL

Realising a form out of stone, Set hands moving. Roan shaped his heart, Through his working hands. Worked to mold his passion into clay, Like the sun. In his room, his lady, She would dance and sing so completely. "So be still, " he now cries, "I have time, oh let clay transform thee so." In the deep cold of night, Winter calls, he cries "Don't deny me!" For his lady, deep her illness. Time has caught her, And will for all reasons take her. In the still light of dawn, she dies. Helpless hands soul revealing. Like leaves we touch, we learn. We once knew the story. As winter calls he will starve, All but to see the stone be life. Now Roan, no more tears. Set to work his strength, So transformed him. Realizing a form out of stone, His work so absorbed him. Could she hear him? Could she see him? All aglow was his room, Dazed in this light. He would touch her, He would hold her. Laughing as they danced, Highest colors touching others. Did her eyes at the turn of the century, Tell me plainly. How we'll meet, how we'll love, Oh, let life so transform me. Like leaves we touch, we dance. We once knew the story. As autumn called and we both, Remembered all those many years ago. I'm sure we know. Was the sign in the day with a touch, As I kiss your fingers. We walk hands in the sun, Memories when we're young, Love lingers so. Was it sun through the haze, That made all your looks, As warm as moonlight? As a pearl deep your eyes, Tears have flown away, All the same light. Did her eyes at the turn of the century, Tell me plainly. When we meet, how we'll look, As we smile time will leave me clearly. Like leaves we touch, we see, We will know the story. As autumn calls we'll both remember, All those many years ago.
