Re-mixed "The Yes Album"
Re-mixed "The Yes Album"
I just received my copy of the Steven Wilson re-mixed "The Yes Album." It is stunning! Just as with his re-mix of "Close to the Edge" every instrument stands out; the brown wash is now gone and all of the subtle things can be discerned. All sorts of extras are included of course. I haven't yet explored the 5.1 mixes on the Blu-ray.
A must have in my book!

I can't describe how it feels to listen to this remix of an album that I know so well, have listened to hundreds of times since I first heard it in the mid-1970s, only to hear things that I'd never heard before in pieces of music that I felt (up until listening to Steven Wilson's mix) so familiar with. Absolutely stunning!

Re: Re-mixed "The Yes Album"
YES!
Some of the overdubed guitar elements were new to me. "Perpetual Change" just knocked me out. And as with CTTE, the vocal sections were finally clear and detailed...the lead vocals, Howe's and Squire's backing vocals, and Anderson's own overdubbed voice...all emerge from the mix.
And of course our boy's bass rules over everything.

Re: Re-mixed "The Yes Album"
I haven't sprung for either of these,yet,but kind of hoping he gets to do this treatment with "tales". And i know it isn't at all likely to happen,but i would love to hear "Time and a Word" redone.
Re: Re-mixed "The Yes Album"
Actually, from the supposed-inside info I have read, TALES is next! (You'd think it would be Fragile...)

Re: Re-mixed "The Yes Album"
+1000. My guitarist had it on at his house, and he has a beast of a sound system. If I closed my eyes, I'd have thought the band was in the room. Amazing work.
Re: Re-mixed "The Yes Album"
Thanks! I didn't know it existed! (any of these or his King Crimson releases).
I don't have a Bluray player so I emailed them about the availability of a FLAC version, If I get it - I want it in high bitrate high sample rate

Wow! If you are a Crimson fan you will have a great time listening to the new versions.gibsonlp wrote:Thanks! I didn't know it existed! (any of these or his King Crimson releases).

Re: Re-mixed "The Yes Album"
I remember back in the late 80s when I was working on my CD player to improve the sound and writing about it, I listened to the CD of TYA and was astounded to hear the needle riding in the groove, meaning they did not digitize from tape but from a record!
I'll have to get this remastering.

Re: Re-mixed "The Yes Album"
Gil, you should get a Blu-Ray player. I purchased an inexpensive Sony a few months ago and have found it to be handy for connecting to online movie services as well as for playing Blu-Ray discs. The additional content that you get with the Blu-Ray versions of the Steven Wilson remixes is worth the price of admission, and the player upscales DVD playback to a higher resolution as well.

Re: Re-mixed "The Yes Album"
This is all new to me!
I've never heard of this!
Forgive my ignorance, but are these Cd's that just play on a Blue ray player?

Re: Re-mixed "The Yes Album"
Tony, the three remixes that I have purchased (Close to the Edge, The Yes Album, and Thick As A Brick), are all two-disc sets. One disc is either Blu-Ray audio or DVD audio with 5.1 mixes in a couple of different formats as well as other additional content like bonus tracks and rough mixes. The other disc is a CD with stereo versions of the new mixes. The difference in audio quality is quite noticeable on either disc, and you hear a lot more detail in the 5.1 mixes (at least I can). I was pretty sure that I'd bought all of the classic Yes albums for the last time until these versions came along.
