The message from Josh Ryman rises higher:
 JR> -- This was in a message from Clark Ray to Josh Ryman --
 CR>  JR> so, did Jon and the Gang ever release a crappy, or at least
 CR> mediocre,
 CR>  JR> album?
 CR>
 CR> _Tormato_ springs to mind.  Not crappy, but certainly not up to
 CR> par.
 CR>
 CR> Apart from that, I'd say no.
 JR> Yeh, _Tormato_ is definitely one of their lesser releases...over the
 JR> line on psychedelia, and not especially appealing, though I love "Don't
 JR> Kill da Whale".
"Don't Kill The Whale" is alright, especially the ending, but one song
does not an album make...er, or words to that effect.
 JR> How about _Going for the One_?  I think "Parellels" is one of the
 JR> coolest Yes songs there is.  I appreciate strange innovations in art
 JR> and music, and Rick Wakeman playing the church organ has got to be one
 JR> of the coolest ideas I've ever come across.
Well, he wasn't the first, probably.  Certainly it had been done before
1977.  I wouldn't know one organ from another [I'm talking about the
keyboard instrument here :-) ], but Genesis was using organs in 1970.  I
don't know if they ever used a church organ.
As for "Parallels," I've never understood the fascination with that
song.  It's the one I typically pass over when listening to that album.
I do, however, like that middle section with the vocal "Parallel our
sights" etc.
