Now Playing: Close to the Edge


It's been several weeks since I picked up Close to the Edge by Yes at Oz Music -- warm, vibrant used vinyl first released in 1972 -- but I am just now getting around to listening. I mean this particular disk; my original is about worn out. Classic prog rock by a band like no other. Dated in its time and timeless, it cannot possibly sound good on typical computer speakers, but here are youtube versions of the three songs from the album nevertheless. Eat some tofu before playing.
