Advantages: good materials Disadvantages: rushed production
...you. The album boasts of some very brilliant materials, that have unfortunately only suffered some dry production setbacks due to schedule delays, caused by frictions and arguments within the band- which in the end-result, Rick Wakeman left the band for the second time; and this time around, lead man Jon Anderson also left the group, resulting to the number of his solo projects and a number of skits with former APHRODITE'S CHILD (comprised with famed greek singer DemisRoussos) Vangelis, before Anderson (of course I'm not talking about Jethro Tull) got back with the band again (this time with South African rock heartthrob Trevor Rabin on vocals and guits - which spawned the 80's Yes type of music); and in turn, this departure of Wakeman and Anderson after this album's release also brought forth YES' (only(?) effort without Anderson) lp...

To me there is no sound like it but then I have been a Didgeridoo player and enthusiast for over 8 years now and to me it is the true sound that can make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and send shivers through your skin.
