"Relayer" es una obra maestra del rock progresivo creada por la legendaria banda británica Yes y disponible ahora en formato CD gracias al sello Rhino. Publicado originalmente en 1974, este álbum ambicioso presenta tres extensas composiciones llenas de virtuosismo instrumental y arreglos complejos; destaca especialmente ?The Gates of Delirium?, inspirada por ?Guerra y Paz? de Tolstói y considerada una pieza épica dentro del repertorio del grupo. En esta grabación participaron Jon Anderson (voz principal), Chris Squire (bajo), Steve Howe (guitarra eléctrica y acústica), Alan White (batería) y Patrick Moraz como teclista invitado ?siendo su única colaboración discográfica con el grupo? . Desde su formación en 1968, Yes ha sido pionero e innovador dentro del género progresivo con discos emblemáticos como ?Fragile? o ?Close to the Edge?, logrando múltiples discos de platino e ingresando al Salón de la Fama del Rock & Roll en el año 2017 . El fabricante Rhino es reconocido mundialmente por sus ediciones cuidadas y su dedicación a preservar los catálogos musicales más icónicos sin importar el estilo o época.
The seventh studio album by the English progressive rock band Yes, released in November 1974. Relayer received a mixed to positive reception from contemporary and retrospective critics. It reached No. 4 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 5 on the US Billboard 200. I recommend.

Still like the music but it’s like this remix cd has been recorded with Dolby on. Lacking in bass, and the treble is harsh, sometimes bordering on a distorted mess.

Wakeman’s absence has always benefited Yes. So, “Relayer” was able to record as “Close To The Edge” should have sounded. There is no longer the pathos that was on the previous two albums, much less “atmospheric” (read “empty”) keyboard passages, the music became freer, more energetic.
"Sound chaser" is, in my opinion, the top of the album. Never before or after Yes could I put so much energy into a song. And the Howe solo is in the middle, where Morricone organically intertwines with Bach. Squire on "Relayer" is just awesome - he and Howe are doing the whole album. Only drums seemed a little boring.
All these superlatives relate to the first two songs, but "To Be Over" ... I perceive the last song as the calm after the storm. The same contemplative number was on "Close To The Edge", but on "Relayer" this is now very out of place.
The best, in my opinion, album of Yes.

It is not "Fragile" or "close to the edge" but it's the next best thing in progressive rock!! Anderson's voice shines and the band is in top form!! The remastered edition comes with bonus tracks in a digipack with much information!! Classic!!
