IMHO, DRAMA can't even be compared to Close to the Edge! :-) There's some good
rocking on DRAMA and it was certainly needed after Tormato! But to me, Yes
isn't quite Yes without Jon Anderson. [How long did it take those guys to
come up with  "I am a Camera... I am a Camera" ? Arrrrrrgggghh! :-)]

I really liked Relayer, I *love* Bruford, so I picked up Moraz-Bruford's
"Music for Piano and Drums". That's just what it is... I really like it.
Moraz plays piano/keyboards a lot better than I had given him credit for. :)
So I picked up the "Out in The Sun" and the this album from 1976(?) that has
the story of "i" (I can't draw the funny symbol using ASCii!)... He has
some cool keyboard sounds, but I was suprised to see yet ANOTHER
story/concept album from a Yes-member during the "solo" period 74-77ish
between Relayer and Going for The One. I thought I had seen it all when
I got Anderson's Olias of Sunhillow(?)! :)

Concerning Roger Dean art: Does anyone know of any other groups he has
done covers for? Aside from Yes members, he's done the Asia covers and
I recently picked up a copy of "Greenslade". I think it's from 1972 and
the group has two keyboardists, Bass/Double Bass, and Percussion/Drums.
(Interesting setup..) I don't know if anyone else has it, I like an
Instrumental 'Melange' on it... kinda sounds Yes-influenced. Did Greenslade
have any other albums?
