Yes Album Listening Guides – Tales From Topographic Oceans Part 12 - The Steven Wilson Experts Assemble! - 642

Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller

A couple of weeks ago, Mark and I assembled one of the most learned and erudite groups of experts the progressive world has ever seen to talk in incredible depth and detail about the Steven Wilson remixes of Tales from Topographic Oceans.
We welcomed Prog Report stalwart Geoff Bailie along with Yes book authors Simon Barrow and Stephen Lambe to our special YMP round table after setting them the task of listening to one side each of Tales, with Mark taking side 4. I was exempt because I needed to act as referee and moderator - or at least that’s my excuse.

If you’re a fan of YMP deep dives, you’re in for a treat. If you’re not a fan of that kind of thing feel free to take this week off - not really, it’s all fascinating stuff.

• Is remixing Yes albums ever a good idea?
• What has Steven Wilson done to Tales?
• Has he improved it?

Let us know if you agree with us!
