Tracklist 1-1 The Revealing Science Of God (Dance Of The Dawn) 20:26 1-2 The Remembering (High The Memory) 20:36 2-1 'The Ancient' (Giants Under The Sun) 18:37 2-2 Ritual (Nous Sommes Du Soleil) 21:34 Amazon.ca This album is very much like Moby Dick, more talked-about than actually seen or heard. Even at the time, in the full flush of prog-rock's mania, the sheer scale of Yes' venture--a double album based on Parmhansa Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi, divided into four separate "suites" with names like "The Ancient"--seemed a little much. (A disgruntled once said, "it's like wading through a cesspool to get to a water lily.") Today, it seems like the defining gesture of an entire strand of English art-rock: lofty, narcissistic, utterly self-absorbed. One could argue that time has not been kind to Jon Anderson's lyrics, a cockeyed melange of hippie mysticism and fourth-form poetry; on the other hand, the intricate arrangements showcase the band's real strengths: its instrumental prowess and (at rare moments) a surprising sensitivity--the final section, the "Nous Sommes du Soleil" theme, is remarkably delicate and lovely. Bloated, over-extended and ultimately insubstantial, this is, for better or worse, a true one-of-a-kind. --Andrew McGuire
