Steven Wilson has finished the remix of 'Tales from Topographic Oceans'

Cannot.Improve.Perfection.

I thought SW only did albums that he liked

He said it was one of his favorite Yes albums in an interview. If not his favorite.

Love
Cannot.Improve.Perfection

Lol--it will be interesting to see what he does with perfect.

Steve Howe announced it's his wife's favourite YES album also lol!

[Steve983]

Apparently it will be a 5 disc set - get saving now!

Yeah, a super duper deluxe edition!

Maybe Steve Howe has unearthed some 'live mixing desk tapes'??? Otherwise I can't see how they can stretch this to five discs?

The Yes holy grail would be a professionally recorded live show from the Tales tour. It's the only period not represented in that way...for instance, it's a gap on The Word Is Live box.

[Steve983]

I have read that it will include a previously unreleased alternate version of The Revealing. I too though would get most excited about some live tracks.

Not a record that has ever really spoken to me - and I've certainly tried. Maybe surround will do the trick

Tales from Topographic Oceans will surround you and force you to surrender.

Judging by previous comments, Wilson would be happy to do GftO, T&aW or Drama. Don't know how he feels about Tormato.

Of course, if Wilson doesn't want to do a particular album, Panegyric can just get someone else in.

So every performance of these songs were not perfection.

I'd like to hear Wilson's Drama but thought that album always sounded very good.

I believe this was the promo sticker on the German LP pressing.

Yes, he left off sides 2 & 3

Quoting Chris, “One of the nicest things I think I’ve ever played on is side two of Topographic Oceans, The Remembering … I’m prouder of that than I am about some of the things I’ve played on that people rave about. That section starts with a very interesting chord sequence. The key shifts for every bar, and the bass line just happens to bind it all together somehow by following a weird kind of scale. It’s a very successful piece of arranging, and when I hear it, I definitely feel that I couldn’t have played anything righter, and one doesn’t often get that feeling.”

I've read this before and it's made me pay more attention to the bass on that track. Do you know what section he's talking about specifically when he says "that section starts..."?

Not "Big Generator"?

I've been listening to The Remembering regularly in my car lately---always loved it. Gorgeous piece of prog.

I have never heard The Remembering until now. I'm a side 1 and 4 guy... I just listened to all of youtube clips. Thank you very much, fiberman, for linking those. To me, the genius of Fragile is "Heart of the Sunrise" and "Fish"

But Squire wrote and played so much that I couldn't make a top 10. Maybe a top 20.

This is worth re-posting for those who might not have seen it yet. Bass/Yes/Squire/prog geeks will all get something out of it...



The part Squire came up with for the ending is typically complicated yet simultaneously sublime.

Thank you!

We're not going to get any more Wilson remixes if people just listen to YouTube clips.

But I won't shell out money until I've heard the music, yo.
