In the last week we saw some discussion on Yes-s Union and some people suggesting another playlist to make it
a better album. So let's call the original "Onion", to quote a famous Yes member. How would you make it to be a solid "Union"?
Here's my playlist and some comments:
First, let's start with the outstanding tracks. There are three on this album:
Shock to the System - Great ABWH Track
The More We Live/Let Go - Fantastic Billy Sherwood track, the best he ever did
Angkor Wat - Fantastic ambient Anderson track. Best track on the album, really!!
And now for the Onions (tracks that make you cry, in a bad way):
Masquerade - OK, I just don't like Howe solo tracks on a Yes album and certainly not this one
Saving My Heart / Miracle Of Life / Lift Me up - Some interesting intros, but then really annoying simple tunes
Evensong - Now what is this?
This is my "Union" playlist and I rate it 4 solid stars:
1. I Would have waited forever
2. Shock to the system
3. Without hope you can not start the day
4. Silent Talking
5. The more we live let go
6. Angkor Wat
7. Holding On
8. Give and take
As a bonus track "Axis of Love" would be great.
