Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier

My UK pressings

In a week when I was very pressed for time, I did manage to listen to Yes and Time And A Word and also speak to Mark about them.

  • Which is the better album?
  • Who stars in these shows?
  • Is the orchestra a good idea?

Theme music

The music I use is the last movement of Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite. This has been used as introduction music at many Yes concerts. My theme music is not take from a live concert – I put it together from the following two creative commons sources: thanvannispen and archive.org

  • What can we detect which foreshadows later developments?
  • Do we like it?
