The newly announced Keys to Ascension Studio Recordings by Yes got me thinking: did that reunion make any sense?
I bought Keys to Ascension for the live tracks. I heard Siberian Khatru from it somewhere, and I knew I had to have it.
It was THOSE five guys performing THESE songs live for the first time in years, after all. The sound was amazing, the performances ferocious. I played those live tracks over and over.
And yes, I knew there were some studio tracks there. I remember being amazed how long those pieces were. At that time, Yes didn't seem too keen on composing lengthy pieces anymore.
But I got Keys for the live tracks and to me, that's all that mattered.
