Comments: An album of highs and lows. This Yes Tribute album really
makes you appreciate the original versions of these songs. Don't
even bother listening to Adam Wakeman's band Jeronimo Road's
version of "Starship Trooper" unless you want to lose your lunch. It is
that bad! Steve Morse falls very short in imitating Howe on his
classics, "Clap" and "Mood For A Day." Magellans "Don't Kill The 
Whale" is real bad.
      However, there are some real excellent renditions here. Robert
Berry's "Roundabout" is a refreshing change. Stanley Snail's 
"Siberian Khatru" sounds very close to the original. World Trade's
Billy Sherwood does an excellent job on "Wonderous Stories." And
Peter Banks' "Astral Traveller" is a different look which is very 
interesting. The real gem here is Steve Howe and Annie Haslam's "Turn 
Of The Century" which is very beautiful, even if the middle section
was cut out. Clearly a mixed bag on this one (**)
