Speaking of shrooms and Yes, I highly recommend a gram or two and listening to Close To The Edge. Not only will it be one of the best dimensions you ever visited, Jon Anderson's lyrics will actually make sense.

I LOVE Close To The Edge (both 'sides'). I saw a van once - just once - when I was twelve in my hometown. It had the album cover painted on one side and the Yes logo on the other. I will never forget that van. LOL
But when it comes to needing some extra 'help' with listening to a record I vote for Tales From Topographic Oceans. LOL That 2 disc set is one of the best "bad" albums ever made.

Features all four of the original members.

Now THIS I want to check out! Thanks!
(And, to me, a TOTAL travesty that Jon Anderson is not making music with Yes anymore. Insanity. 'Magnification' is, with the exception of a single song, one of the greatest things Yes ever did. And amazing while stoned, too. LOL I always loved the rock/classical hybrid like Electric Light Orchestra or The Moody Blues and 'Magnification' is like those bands, only Yes. Awesome shit. I will check out the Asia track (and CD) for sure!
(Does anyone under 40 get any of my references AT ALL? LOL)
