Yes - Fragile (1972) (HDCD Remaster 2003)
Japanese HDCD remastered reissue of their 1972 album. Packaged in a limited edition miniature reproduction of the original gatefold LP sleeve. The CD will play on a normal CD player but in order to utilise the HDCD format you have to burn this to a CD without any modification. The CD can then be played using WMP. Note that WMP has to be configured to play 24bit audio by going to Tools|Options|Devices|Speakers|Properties and ticking the 24bit audio box. Also your soundcard must be 24bit capable. Alternatively you can play it on a standalone HDCD player (obviously) and on a DVD player that supports HDCD.
The arrival of keyboardist Rick Wakeman for Yes's fourth recording, 1972's Fragile, signaled a major change for the founding fathers of UK progressive rock. Though Yes had begun expanding its scope with Fragile's predecessor The Yes Album, Wakeman's classically influenced approach helped the band attain new heights in composition and arrangement. The classical-rock sound Yes perfected on Fragile would define the group's style for the remainder of the '70s: Cuts like "Long Distance Runaround," "Heart of the Sunrise," and the FM staple "Roundabout" feature tricky time signatures, complex structures, and radical dynamic shifts, but Jon Anderson's straightforward vocal melodies and guitarist Steve Howe's signature licks make these songs instantly accessible. Each member of the band also indulges himself in a more "experimental" solo piece, and each is sophisticated in conception and elegant in construction. Ultimately, Fragile achieves the perfect marriage between Yes's lofty ambitions and their infectious melodic appeal...J. Allen
