Tales From Topographic Oceans is the latest Rock CD released by the highly group Yes and they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I’m confident Yes fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one.
It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn’t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.
As a group Yes possess the characteristic of being able to bowl you over with their talent alone. The kind of musicians I really enjoy listening to.
Listen to this CD and I believe you’ll find there's not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and this is clearly the work of a group of musicians in top form. So much so that if you're even mildly into Rock music you'll enjoy this CD.
While the entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - Disc 1 - The Remembering High The Memory, track 2 - Disc 2 - Dance Of The Dawn, and Disc 2 - track 3 - track Giants Under The Sun
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - The Revealing Science Of God Dance Of The Dawn. Great track!
