TFTO and CTTE were the soundtracks to most of the sci-fi/fantasy I read as a young'un and I continue to listen to it as a soundtrack when I play games like Lord Of The Rings Online today. I can't count how many times I've listened to those records all the way through. TFTO is the Yes record I listen to most to this day I think, truly a classic, hard to believe it's 35 years old, but it has certainly withstood the test of time to my ears.
On both here and his blog, we can feel Keithie's pleasure and happiness well.
I love Tales From Topographic Oceans too! (Indeed some of Yes fans say each song in it is too long and boring...)
The songs are all well-refned and delicate in details.
