European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 22, 1977, Darmstadt, Hesse Thursday september 22, 1977 the stars and stripes Page 19 moving up the charts by James Simon associated Pressw Ith the return of prodigal pianist Rick Wakeman the new yes album going for the one is zooming up the charts and crowds Are jamming stadiums and concert Halls to see the British Rock quintet play. But the band has Learned the hard Way that recording Success As a group does not rub off on Solo albums. Fresh from the Success of their relayed album All five current yes members plus former keyboard player Pat Rick Moraz released Solo albums in 1975-76. All were commercial failures. I Don t think the Solo albums were a mistake. If the music is decided upon by How Many albums Are sold then we re in a sorry state Lead Singer Jon Anderson said in an interview after three sold out shows at new York s 20,000-seat Madison Square Garden. The new album and tour has put the group Back on the top of the Rock world. To Anderson the band s sophisticated sound is a Little bit of magic Here and there a Little bit of science and music and a Little bit of heavy Rock As the band s lyrics Sung by Anderson in a Light airy voice usually Are nonsensical since the words Are selected for How they la sound in the context of the song rather than for their meaning. The emphasis is on the fantasy Laden music a Clever hybrid of English Folk tunes and space Rock that has an orchestral feel similar to Emerson Lake and Palmer. At the moment we re just in a Good entertaining kind of musical direction. Over the last few years we be been Lucky enough to learn a lot More about the directions that Are available such As a symphonic kind of approach a More instrumental kind of approach. At this time we seem to be kind of relaxing and using some Good songs Good production on magic Here and there a Little bit of science and music and a Little bit of heavy Rock yes formed by Anderson and bassist Chris Squire in 1968, went through several personnel changes before achieving mass popularity with the release of the single roundabout several years ago. The Success of the single was a Complete Surprise to an Derson who admits the band s galactic approach in the past May have confused some listeners. We Felt that on the going for the one album it was important that we try to put Down a few different ideas try to make it As listenable As possible and that s the Way we headed. I feel the next couple of albums should be More the British band s music stands out in Sharp contrast to the sounds that seem to be sweeping their Homeland Punk Rock. The growth of the primitive Punk sound does t bother Anderson. I think its a Good thing because maybe we re a bit too Classy a bit too big for a lot of kids. They Don t want to know what yes is about it does t matter. They just want to go into a smelly Dingy place like i used to love to do when i was their age and have a Beer and watch some Guy smash his guitar up. People like the who and the move they were the Punk Rock of the 1960s. Maybe they had a bit More Musi Cal knowhow whereas the kids today Are a Little bit wild.
