There is great material among the works like “Tango” (The lord of mighty), “The Golden Age” and “In the tower”, and I’m sad, that we lost a great Yes Album. Imagine, they would have includes Tormato-Leftovers like “Richard”, “Picasso” and others! Even the track “Song of seven” maybe would have been available. Spare out “Flower child” an other weeker moments, and develop other material like “Dancing through the light”. I guess Howe is completely absent on all that stuff, the guitar comes from Jon (its his style to play rhythm guitar). Howe stated that his guitar would have been uninterested in the material. But anyway, I consider “Tormato” as a great album as well, ‘cos I like those fights between guitars and keyboards.
