Yeah, it's only really my second foray into the early albums, the first being when I got to them in the History of Prog journal. I agree with your comment about the orchestra, which was pretty silly as it forced Banks to quit. I really don't think it worked out, and perhaps they knew that, since they never did it again. Still, compare Yes's debut to that of Procol Harum, King Crimson or as I said even ELP, and I think if you had, back then, to decide who was going to lead the prog revolution it's few people who would have chosen Yes.
