Back catalogue: All genres

Review: The SACD version of one of the most important progressive rock albums, which catapulted progressive rock from a experimental and avante garde genre into a well-respected style of rock music, while forging a path for symphonic rock pieces of longer expression to become commonplace. The enhanced clarity and depth highlight every intricate detail of the band's ambitious arrangements, making this the definitive digital edition. The album's tracks shine brighter than ever. 'Roundabout' bursts with energy, its iconic guitar intro and driving rhythm section sounding crisp and vivid. 'South Side of the Sky' reveals its layered complexity, with the interplay between piano, vocals and searing guitar more dynamic than ever. The atmospheric 'Heart of the Sunrise' benefits from the SACD's superior soundstage, emphasising its sweeping contrasts between serene melodies and thunderous intensity. Each member's contribution feels distinct yet perfectly integrated, with the enhanced fidelity highlighting the virtuosity of their performances.

Review: The Yes Album stands as a pivotal moment in the prog legends' career, marking their meteoric rise to fame. Released in 1971, this masterpiece showcases the band's exceptional musicianship and innovative sound. With Jon Anderson on vocals, Chris Squire on bass and vocals, Bill Bruford on drums, Tony Kaye on keyboards and the introduction of Steve Howe on guitars and vocals, it's a stunning display of progressive rock featuring classics like 'Yours Is No Disgrace,' 'Starship Trooper,' 'I've Seen All Good People,' and the hit single 'Your Move'. Tracks like Steve Howe's acoustic masterpiece 'Clap,' the collaborative effort 'Perpetual Change' and the fusion-inspired 'A Venture' further highlight the band's intricate compositions and dynamic performances.
