The message from Mike Taylor rises higher:
 MT> Howe is what makes the _The Yes Album_ for me, and of course started
 MT> the definitive Yes sound.  Kaye does manage to get by but "managing"
 MT> not enough.  For me, the Yes sound revolves heavily around Wakeman and
 MT> Howe together.  I'm not discounting the others, of course.  It's just
 MT> that Wakeman's silver lame capes were very important to me.
For me, I don't think the Yes revolves around any one member.  It's
always impressed me that their sound was dependant upon every member.
This remained true up until _Tales_ when Howe and Wakeman seemed to
be taking more leads and White tended to just be a good rhythm
foundation.  White could really do a kick-ass lead when he wanted to,
but his background playing was never as interesting, or as important, as
Bruford's.
 LM> With something like _Relayer_, at  least you can sit down for
 LM> 20 minutes to listen to "Gates".
 MT> "Gates" and "Sound Chaser."  "To Be Over" doesn't do much for me,
 MT> though.
Really?  I love all of it.  "To Be Over" is gorgeous.
 MT> The new Rush album?  Naw, that kinda stuff doesn't make it to our
 MT> station, which is more indie oriented.
I keep hearing something from this new album on the radio on my commute
everyday to work.  It's nothing.
