Back catalogue: All genres

Review: A landmark progressive rock album that showcases each band member's unique talents and their synergy as a group. The album opens with 'Roundabout', a dynamic piece featuring Steve Howe's classical guitar, Chris Squire's powerful bass, and Rick Wakeman's masterful keyboard work, drawing listeners into its complex structure and vivid musical landscape. Tracks like 'We Have Heaven' and 'Cans and Brahms' highlight individual members' creativity, while 'South Side of the Sky' and 'Heart of the Sunrise' feature full-band performances with intricate arrangements and memorable melodies. Wakeman, the band's new keyboardist at the time, brought a fresh, vibrant sound that complements Bill Bruford's precise drumming and Jon Anderson's ethereal vocals. Squire's bass is particularly prominent throughout, adding depth and inventiveness to the album's sound. The album marked Yes's rise to international fame and became one of their best-selling albums, cementing their reputation as pioneers of the genre. This new gatefold vinyl properly presents it as the legendary album it is.

Review: Analogue Productions' reissue of Yes' 90125 is a celebration of the band's pivotal album, marking Atlantic Records' 75th anniversary. Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from an original analogue master tape, this 180-gram 45 RPM double LP presents the album in its finest form. 90125 was a departure from Yes' progressive style, but it propelled the band to new heights of commercial success. Hits like 'Owner Of A Lonely Heart' and 'Leave It' showed Yes' ability to craft memorable melodies with a contemporary edge. The album's slick production, courtesy of Trevor Horn and various other members of The Art of Noise, and the addition of guitarist Trevor Rabin and keyboardist Tony Kaye, contributed to its fresh sound. This reissue preserves the album's sonic richness and showcases the intricate harmonies and dynamic arrangements that define Yes' music. With its tip-on gatefold jacket and high-quality pressing, Analogue Productions delivers a definitive edition for fans and audiophiles alike. 90125 remains a significant and well-regarded album in Yes' illustrious discography, and this reissue is a must-have for collectors.
