----------------------------------------------------- DECEMBER 27, 2001 ----------------------------------------------------- Source: Newsday http://library.newsday.com/ (Link text abbreviated) YES - "Magnification" By Ian D'Giff The newest Yes lineup delivers in bold fashion, as the band says bye-bye to keyboardist Igor Khoroshev and hello to his replacement, conductor Larry Groupe and the San Diego Symphony. The musicians (Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Alan White and Jon Anderson) still have their stunning chops, and the orchestrations have grown grander, though, disappointingly, the band often gets lost behind the pomp and circumstance of it all. Peak experiences include the beautiful "Give Love Each Day," the majestic "Dreamtime" and Squire's lead vocals on "Can You Imagine." But stay away from "Don't Go" and "In the Presence Of."
