Before it got bloated and full of itself--right around the time the punks
showed up, more or less--prog was an innovative and often
transcendent expression of rock's polar opposites: accessible and
inviting melodies coupled with an impressionistic reliance on
instrumental virtuosity. But when it worked, as it often did in its '70s
heyday...oh!
"Astral Traveller" is from Yes' sophomore album Time and a Word [Atlantic].
