------------------------------------------------------- 1995 ------------------------------------------------------- Source: The All-Music Guide to Rock -- Archived at SuperSeventies http://www.superseventies.com/yes2.html Yes: Fragile By Bruce Eder The breakthrough album for the band, in which the science-fiction and fantasy elements of the songs become dominant and the addition of Rick Wakeman on organ added a larger-than-life element to the group's sound. Ironically, the album was a patchwork job, hastily assembled to help cover the cost of Wakeman's expanded array of instruments, but the short form of "Roundabout" clicked on AM radio, album buyers liked the long version, plus the rest of the material they found, and the band was made. * * * * * Close Window YesInThePress.com For site comments, inquiries, corrections, or additions, contact yitp@yesservices.com
