Yes - Talloplanic Views (hypothetical 1976 ’Relayer’ sequel)

A fan-made mix of music from the YesSolo releases of 1975-76. 00:00 Silent Symphony 26:52 Safe & Solid 44:12 Sunhillow About: A commonly discussed ’What If’ of Yes history is regarding a second album from the Relayer line-up of the band, with Patrick Moraz, during 1975-76. During those years, all then-current members of Yes released instead solo albums, and performed some of the solo material together live during their 1976 tour. This edit merges sections of songs from Chris Squire’s ’Fish Out Of Water’, Jon Anderson’s ’Olias of Sunhillow’, Steve Howe’s ’Beginnings’, and Patrick Moraz’s ’The Story of I’, to create 3 long-form pieces, imagining what it could have been like if all members had pooled their collective efforts into a single Yes release. Alan White’s solo album is not included in the mix here as I didn’t feel the material fit stylistically with the mixes I was making. Also notable is Bill Bruford’s appearances on both Steve Howe and Chris Squire’s albums, so for this ’album’ sharing drumming duties with Alan White (& Patrick Moraz’s session drummers).
