Close To Perfection?!......
很多人說過《CLOSE TO THE EDGE》堪稱經典、傑作。確實！這是YES的巔峰！
《CLOSE TO THE EDGE》的魅力在於，樂手將微妙的、技術性的、旋律和一些細節緊密地結合在一起。
YES 在《CLOSE TO THE EDGE》中將他們的音樂推進到史詩般的境界，個人風格在深刻而自然的氣氛中交織。 同名曲盡顯這種巔峰時刻：一系列精彩絕倫的音樂主題、富彈性又複雜的音色，再轉往流暢清晰的旋律... JON ANDERSON獨特的歌聲，STEVE HOVE瘋狂的吉他演奏，RICK WAKEMAN的鍵琴迸發活力，CHRIS SQUIRE的低音結他在旋律中穿梭，帶來意想不到的美妙！加上BILL BRUFORD充滿創意的鼓聲....所有一切完美地交織、融合！
以STEVE HOWE充滿空間感的吉他揭開序幕，魔幻的旅程隨即展開，不可思議地喚起一份崇高的美。強勁有力，STEVE HOWE 和 RICK WAKEMAN豐富的音樂語言再次令人驚嘆！
《CLOSE TO THE EDGE 》可算是 YES 編織得最緊密的音樂作品，與《FRAGLIE 》均是探索風格的頂峰！
