About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Many call Yes' brand of progressive rock "symphonic rock." The term means that the group produces arrangements in the vein of a symphony using typical rock instrumentation. With Magnification, Yes has taken that a step further, adding a symphony orchestra. The orchestra is not simply thrown over the top, though; the songs were written for this particular grouping. Yes has flirted with this type of thing before. Released in 1970, the Time and a Word album featured a string section, but the complete integration is what makes Magnification a superior work. The material on the CD is pretty standard modern Yes fare, but the addition of that symphony really does create a whole new texture. It also seems as if it inspired the band, and some members put in performances that are head and shoulders above their other work. The album does have its weak moments and gets just a little over the top at times, but there are a lot more moments that shine than dull ones. [Beyond's 2001 "Bonus Track" edition included "Long Distance Runaround" as a bonus track.] Gary Hill, All Music Guide

March 12, 2007: Yes had done something like this before with their 1970 album "Time And A Word", also they had some orchestral tracks on their 1978 album Tormato, but Steve Howe and Bill Bruford contributed on the Symphonic of Yes album which featured the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and the English Chamber Orchestra which was conducted by David Palmer which had featured the hits "Roundabout", "I've Seen All Good People", "Owner Of A Lonely Heart", an excerpt of "The Gates of Delierium" simply titled "Soon", which featured Steve Howe speaking some of the lyrics in the beginning of the song, and "Starship Trooper/Wurm." That album however, also featured Jon Anderson on two of the songs on that album, once again with "Roundabout" and "I've Seen All Good People" with the London Gospel Choir. As for this album, it's great from start to finish, and this album has no offical keyboardists, and not only Yes fans would enjoy this album, but symphonic pops fans too. For those who are'nt familiar with Larry Groupe who conducted the album, he collaborated with John Ottman on some of his scores, which makes his contribution on this album a 100%. Everything on this album is great, but on "Can You Imagine", Yes bassists Chris Squire provides the lead vocals. Once again this album is great from start to finish. Yes and symphonic pops fans would indeed enjoy this outstanding album.
