Performer: Yes
Distributor: BMG Special Products Notes: (RE)UNION is an edited version of the 1991 Yes release UNION. Illustrator: Rich DiSilvio. Although featuring new cover art and packaging, this is essentially a reissue of 1991's excellent Union record, cropped down from 16 tracks to ten. However, those who missed Union the first time will be treated to an album featuring nearly every artist ever to play in Yes. Steve Howe plays his heart out on "Masquerade," on one of the most energetic solos of his career. It's not one of their strongest albums by any means, but die-hard fans will revel in the quality musicianship, production, and songwriting from a group putting forth its strongest effort in years. ~ Rob Theakston
The longest-running prog-rock group in the business, Yes flew on the strength of Jon Anderson's high, angelic voice and the group's instrumental virtuosity. The band began in England, rising from the ashes of pop-psych outfits like Tomorrow, Bodast, and Mabel Greer's Toyshop. Extending the technical facility of psychedelia and downplaying the trippiness, it helped forge the template for progressive rock and reigned as its most popular practitioners in the '70s. Over the years, Yes has weathered personnel changes, lawsuits, and changing public tastes while holding on to its original vision.
