  • Yes, comprised of Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman, Chris Squire, and Alan White, released the mammoth twin-LP "Tales from Topographic Oceans" in 1973, containing four songs, each spanning approximately 20 minutes.
    This compilation album contains alternate versions of two of those songs, a Steve Howe demo track that would provide the basis of one of those songs, another demo that would later be incorporated in the following album, and an early version of the song that would later become "Awaken" off the album "Going for the One."
    0:00 Dance of the Dawn
    23:36 The Serpentine
    27:44 Giants Under the Sun
    45:02 Eastern Number
    57:19 For this Moment

    You simply cannot be a true Yes fan and not love Tales. It faithfully expresses the very soul of these geniuses.

      YES they were. I just checked on Steve Howe, he is 74 years old and still a guitar master. Wow!

    I was at the 2nd ever performance of Oceans in November 1973. The album wasn't ready for release, so we heard it cold. Revealing Science and The Remembering sent chills down my 15 year old spine! God bless Chris and Alan!

    The Serpentine and Eastern Number are beautiful drafts of songs that were recorded later. Interesting to see how songs and arrangements are born.

    There are tantalizing moments here of what might have been. As great as they were I find myself wishing more of this, and the spirit of this had made the finished products. Yet a peek into the creative processes of one of music’s greatest collaborations.
    It also serves to remind us of the works aa they were first presented to us. Just why they’re even more special to us now, all these years later.
    I find all of this music more dear to me here later in life.

    I've been a Roger Dean fan from the beginning (I have an original Ramases cover), and I've imitated his lettering, for more than 50 years, but I read the title of the Yes album as "Altormato Oceans" ...

    Quand le monde fléchit autour de soi, quand les structures d’une civilisation vacillent, il est bon de revenir à ce qui, dans l’histoire, ne fléchit pas, mais au contraire redresse le courage, rassemble les séparés, pacifie sans meurtrir. Il est bon de rappeler que le génie de la création est lui aussi à l’œuvre dans une histoire vouée à la destruction

    Awaken always sounded to me like the 5fth Topographic Oceans song, quite apart from the rest of Going For The One. I'm surprised (but not really) to hear this early attempt at it.

    As much as I love that double LP & I am not trying to offend anyone who loves the album to each his/her own but I've always felt over the years that it was overrated by many fans .... i've never considered it one of their top releases many will disagree with me & that's fine it's just my opinion but it is a good album nevertheless I know many Yes fans love it & I get it but for me Yes has better within their huge discography.... but this is a good upload....

    Jon was obviously just marking the vocals as a ghost track for reference when the other tracks were laid down. The instrumetal delivery is great to hear stripped down like this with alternate takes, but the vocals are cringy and horrendous at times. I wish they had just done instrumental mixes, because these were not meant to be vocal performances, they were 'guide' tracks to be omitted when the final vocals were finished. Personally I would have prohibited the release of these rough mixes, Especially if I were Jon...(or at least made sure that the guide vocals were erased when the tracking was finished)
