[Yesspaz]

I'd have preferred Moraz (let the war begin), but I'll take old Ricky. Yes just needs keyboards. I really really like Magnification. It had to grow on me a lot (what prog album doesn't grow on you?). I just like the way Moraz and Howe work together. He's by far the best keyboardist Yes ever had, although Squire has said on numerous occasions the best Yes keyboardist was Geoff Downes. Anyhoo. I just hope this lasts and lasts for a long time. The best thing about it is that the other four guys in the band are excited about music again. I don't believe that Wakeman and the other four "bring out the best in each other" - I think that happened with Moraz and Howe, which was the best album for the Squire/White combo as well - but this "new" line-up (RE: 4th time in the band together) will definitely get the collective creative musical juices flowing. Man, I hope they do at least three studio albums. the Keys studio material was great, but just imagine what could have happened if they'd toured on that material, gelled as a unite again, and then went back into the studio!!! Whatever they do, they better do it fast. Anderson and Howe are creeping up on 60 quick.

Long live Yes!

Yesspaz out!
