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

I’ve got an advanced copy of Heaven and Earth. “Step Beyond” is one of my favorite tracks. Great vocals and harmonies, Very nerdy 80’s synth track which works well and solid Howe guitar. I also love “The Game” and Subway Walls”. Overall the CD is strong Yes

I think you are in the minority! However, I don’t think we can do anything to prevent the backlash. I feel it won’t be until a few years’ time that we can really tell the worth of this record. Thanks for the comment!
