Yet another remix cover of Yes's monumental 1972 progressive rock composition; an orchestral rendering that, for me, has been a two-year-long studio project. This constitutes the second to the last remix.

This effort is lovingly dedicated to Jon Anderson and Steve Howe. I would be remiss if I left out Chris, Rick, and Bill. But, mostly it is a doff of the hat to Jon. Thank you for the decades of joy I've experienced from the first time the year of its original release date, and all of the countless revisits I made since. It is timeless, and it just keeps getting better and better and more moving with each listen!

M. Carlucci — sparse vocals, Schecter Diamond Series electric bass. Also used: Roland Juno-DS (symphonic sonics) and Vienna Symphonic software (VSL).

All sound effects are sourced from my own files. No looping was used, and no sampling was incorporated. All musical tracking content was played by hand on the bass and on the keyboard. 32 tracks were used, recorded/produced on Music Creator 7 software.

I am a bassist by profession, performing on both electric and upright acoustic. However, I am also a multi-instrumentalist musician. I  hope you'll find some enjoyment within this sampling. Benvenuti a tutti gli ascoltatori dall'Italia. Bienvenue à tous les auditeurs de France.
