I've only recently got this one and first hearing wasn't too favourable. But that's pretty normal for Yes isn't it?

Third or fourth play and I don't think it's too bad ( Man in the Moon excepted!)

What really intrigues me though is "The Solution". Listed on the sleeve notes at 5"25' but running for 23" 47'. Must rate as the strangest Yes track ever.

Anyone know the story behind this one?

Hi Inverness ... (Nice town i've been there :))

Looks like you found the secret track :)))

When "The Solution" is finished at around 5.23 there is silence for about 2 mins. Then there are bits of the other songs on the album played every so often. Gets a bit boring after a while. I fixed that by making an edit of the secret track. Mine goes for 3min 50 secs lol . :))

Glad you are enjoying it. OYE is a great album, much better than Tales don't you think?

Brismike, are aware of what sort of reaction you might get. you don't put the words "better", "than" and "Tales" in that order on this forum and get away with it.

Prepare for the backlash.

Brismike,you got a bigger pair then I do! Hold on,it's going to be a bumpy ride.I'd start with you myself,but I can't formulate any phrases without expletives.So in respect to the censors,I'll let someone else begin.

It doesn't take much, brismike, to be better than Tales ...
