The intro is way ahead of its time

Raised on Tales, what can you say that hasn't been said, just a masterpiece. Thanks Yes members.

[@jean-michelcagnac]

MASTERPIECE...ALL ''TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS'' IS A MASTERPIECE...

[@scitsalcoryp]

This song is guaranteed to remove layers of built up pre meditative trash on ones skull.......... and remove unwanted houseguests....

[@scitsalcoryp]

That stereo panning is insane....listen with headphones, hearts....

[@chevken1831]

This sounds avant garde.Almost like something you hear on a college radio station, or some free form FM station.

[@mimimoneymachine]

Love this whole album.

[@erictripton]

One of my favorite tunes. Several sections put me in tears even to this day. A very personal song.

[@scitsalcoryp]

This song is still far ahead of its time it is a trip ........

[@scitsalcoryp]

and I heard a million voices singing .................

[@montythepython7614]

yes has always been the one and only band to grab music like taffy and stretch it pull it slap it twist it bang on it then put it all back into its an original form i watched them rehearse this whole album as they gutted out a bank on the corner in slo county as they rehearsed for at least 2 weeks before playing it live at the movie theatre called the freemont in slo county one if the coolest shows with a capacity of a few hundred people max watching them each night playing this album as tensions at times grew you could see how complicated this artistic creation of work really was and how hard it is for any musician to play its true yes at there highest level of going where no band has gone before
