Relayer being Moraz's only album with YES is just different, but not without merit. He dragged more equipment around the world than anyone had before him. Having heard it live several times believe me the man can play!
Perhaps my bias is due to two things, 1. I've met him several times and he is the nicest fellow you'll find (he records in Orlando near me), and 2. all those instruments fit the bands bill at the time.
Still amazes me that some of you people are so critical with regard to pioneering Mellotron bands, but this obviously isn't going to change. Considering all the crap out there musically (then and now) we ought to relish in the music of bands like YES, I know I do.

Yes, I do. Sorry, can't stand Moraz with Yes. Enjoyed "Refugee," enjoyed
the green Moraz solo "Golf Tee" album, really just don't like "Relayer."
Like all Yes, it has moments, but they are too few and far between.
