The Ancient in HD by Yes

The highly artistic and dreamlike track “The Ancient (Giants under the Sun)” appears on their sixth studio album, Tales from Topographic Oceans, released in 1973.

The album was inspired by Hindu scriptures that Jon Anderson read during YES’s tour of Japan.

Comprising four tracks of around 20 minutes each, it shows the band’s pursuit of even greater musical complexity.

Despite its challenging content, the album topped the UK charts for two weeks after its release—a testament to YES’s enduring popularity.

And You And IYES8rank/position

Yes – And You And I

And You And I opens with the memorable tones of Steve Howe’s 12-string acoustic guitar.

It’s one of the tracks on Close to the Edge, YES’s landmark 1972 album.

Spanning a little over ten minutes and divided into four parts, the song—enhanced by its literary lyrics—creates an expansive, majestic world.

Centered on a relaxed rhythm, it clearly shows influences beyond rock, such as folk and classical music.

It’s a piece that lets you fully savor the complexity of YES’s sound!

Going for the One in HD by Yes

The album produced after keyboardist Rick Wakeman, who had temporarily left, returned is 1977’s “Going for the One.” The track that opens the album starts with an intro that’s almost like surf rock, but once it enters the A section, it’s quintessential Yes.

You can only admire their mastery of structure.
