im so frequent to rant but its a little different now, so hehe, enjoy my lovely and delirious personal essay breaking down going for the one by yes [1977] song by song :>

for some background, this was when the band were tax exiles in switzerland [not the first time iirc but thats a different story] and what makes it funnier is that they recorded in the same studio as emerson, lake and palmer [who were working overtime on works], [they [elp] moved to another rehearsal space for a few weeks].

this was also the return of rick wakeman after his previous departure from the band after tales of topographic oceans; and he was surprised to see how much the band had changed over the time he had left. patrick moraz was let go; jon thought “[moraz] just wasn’t playing like he was involved”, that his sound wasn’t on par with the rest of the band’s, “and that affected his vibe…” [basically he was let go because he didn’t pass the vibe check]

also i do have to add that their original sound mixer [who i won’t name] left to work with other bands because he believed the the band’s style became ‘a bit stale’. which uh. they probably proved him wrong because gfto is peak and who ever mixed this album a raise [there were several heated arguments about the use of echo on the album, but thats not what im talking about rn]

The person I reblogged this from deserves to be happy.
