I just finished making my own version of the album for my MP3 player in an order that I think works better.
Here's the tracklist (I used the DVD except where indicated):
Code:01 - Intro/One In The Rhythm of Hope 02 - A For Aria 03 - Owner of a Lonely Heart 04 - Listening With Me 05 - Time And A Word 06 - Infinite Mirage 07 - Soul Eternal 08 - Wonderous Stories 09 - And You And I (from CD) 10 - Renaissance of the Sun 11 - Roundabout/Re-Remembering Molecules 12 - I See You Messenger (from CD) 13 - New New World (from CD)
I'm sure - I was in the process of copying several albums over to the drive, and all was fine except for when I got to APB - I got a message that the file format or something couldn't handle the encryption. Very weird. One thing is for some reason all the file names in Explorer were in green - I've seen that before, I don't know what it means.
Whenever I see A For Aria I think it says A For Asia.
Having read the debacle thread my expectations were modest, however I really love this album and it's so great to hear Jon in such good voice, this is the best I've heard him in years.
It possibly is time he got back with with Yes for a final swansong, though how that would pan out without Chris I don't know. That said I would love to see an APB show, not that they'll get this side of the pond.

Really digging their OOALH.
Can't wait for the show next month. Have seen both artists many times on their own, looking forward to the combo.
"Henry Cow always wanted to push itself, so sometimes we would write music that we couldn't actually play – I found that very encouraging." - Lindsay Cooper, 1998
"I have nothing to do with Endless River. Phew! This is not rocket science people, get a grip." - Roger Waters, 2014
"I'm a collector. And I've always just seemed to collect personalities." - David Bowie, 1973
Interesting version for sure - the band sounds pretty darn good, as does Anderson - but those visuals and that "cut to a new shot every 2 seconds" style both really need to go out of fashion, like, NOW! It makes it hard for these old eyes to watch...
Haven't seen the APB video yet, but this discussion reminds me of the Genesis reunion tour video. Unfuckingwatchable. No shot lasts longer than half a second. It's like the director said "there's 24 frames in a second, fellas, and I intend to get the most out of every one of 'em!"
I didn't find it hard to watch at all. Sure used some special effects to blur things when the new guitar solo didn't synch up but beyond that it wasn't too bad. Some songs were more visually affected than others.

That was far better than I would have expected. I like it! I really wanna see that bass solo in front of Roundabout that people are talking about.
Have to agree. Yes hasn't played Roundabout with that much fire and precision since the 70s (if ever).
