Deras tid är för länge sedan förbi, men här har de sammanstrålat med en symfoniorkester och gjort en cd som knappast kan mäta sig med tidigare bedrifter men som ändå bjuder på några snygga instrumentala partier. Lyssna hellre på: Steve Howe: Natural timbre. ---------------------------------------------- English Translation & Note by  Torbjörn Häggmark ---------------------------------------------- Source: Svenska Dagbladet http://www.svd.se/statiskt/~skivor01/skivrecensioner/010928_Yes.asp Yes - Magnification By Dan Backman British veteran band Yes is one of the few surviving symphonic(*) rock bands of the 70s. Their prime time has since long passed, but here they have joined forces with a symphony orchestra and made a CD that can hardly measure with the early efforts, but still offers some nice instrumental parts. You should instead listen to: Steve Howe: Natural Timbre. NOTE: (*)The music known all over the world as Progressive Rock is, in Sweden, called Symphonic Rock because of the "symphonic" nature of the songs. Progressive Rock existed in Sweden as well, but was more of a political movement than a musical style, or way of relating to the music. Being a fan of "Progressive Rock" in Sweden -- (in the political sense) -- is a shameful act, and its followers are subjected to teasing and foul language. In Sweden, "Punk" is still thought to be "breaking new paths" and "innovative."
