Mellotronists

...lyrics? those odd sounds that sort of sound like a distorted and twisted
8-voice choir?

(I've always felt that Yes lyrics are written for the sheer phonemic value
of the words, they are instrument sounds, not meanings)

Great, now I've got all those YesWords running through my head!  =)  
But what is the little "click-click-click" sound at the very, very 
ending of "And You and I"?

defending...."  (did I remember that right?)

I had drinks with Mr.Anderson once and he told me that he makes them up on the spot.

fantastic band. though I thought "relayer" badly recorded; the production was 
superb, and moraz' contribution so distinctive and yet never overstated. 
still watching wakeman's madcap aspel theme/white rock alternate career 
path..... and the poor bastard birotron.... 
I stayed with yes until the buggles thing; after "wondrous.." had been on top 
of the pops, and "whale" also bothered the charts, that was more than a 
teenager could tolerate. this was up north, remember, where thin lizzy and 
raven ruled the scene. also by then, we'd seen trevor rabin in an 
unfavourable light supporting a triumphant hillage band, talented though he 
obviously is. 

and since then? "I called it 'onion', because it made me cry." but rick's 
stand-up-hosting sense of humour prevails and it's once more into battle. any 
english gigs planned?

I sure hope you're right...
