Welcome back
This is what we want, what we've been needing for so long. A Yes release like in the good ol' times. With enchanting live performances of some of the all time greatest epics, and then the big surprise: two absolutely brilliant new studio tracks.
From the very first tunes, you can just sense this is it! The breathtaking »Siberian Khatru« opens this celebration of the gods of symphonic rock. And from there on, there's no way back. And you wish it'd never end.
The studio tracks are the 9:50 minutes long »Be The One« and the 19:14 minutes long »That, That Is«. Both are great compositions like Yes did'em back in the famous »Close To The Edge« days. Yet, the sound is a tiny bit more 1990's. Without falling anywhere near the trap of commerciality.
What can I say - just buy »Keys To Ascension«. It is absolutely brilliant. And maybe the last time Yes will ever release new songs of this caliber.
Hi Fi version of originals
Although the original album material should be bought as well, this really is a greatest hits as if recorded today with todays sound quality. Yes sound quality was always a little suspect on Fragile, Close to the Edge and Going for the One for example, here everything is wonderfully open and yet the songs sound very very close to the originals in terms of accuracy and style. I've played this album to death. It is a must for any Yes fan. Don't bat an eyelid about buying this - it is an epic.
