“Light Of The Ages“ - Yes

One of my favourite (and, arguably, one of the strongest) tracks from the album, “Heaven And Earth“ by prog rock giants, Yes. Although the album is a ’patchy’ affair (two tracks in particular should never have been put on it!) and the production is unusually muted and “low key“ across the whole album in general (the once mighty rhythm section of Squire and White could almost be in another room from the main ’action’), THIS track, at least, shows any new listeners of what an accomplished band Yes are, and why they’ve been around for over 45 years. This is one of the nearest truly ’progressive’ songs on “Heaven And Earth“ and, well, it shines out. This track was written by current/new vocalist Jon Davison.
