About this album

Yes’s Tales From Topographic Oceans is one of progressive rock’s most ambitious and divisive statements. Issued in 1973, the double album stretches four side-long suites across expansive arrangements, dense musicianship and intricate thematic development, reflecting the band’s peak-era confidence after Close to the Edge. The record became a touchstone for prog’s grand aspirations, admired for its technical command and scale as much as debated for its excess. Even so, its four linked pieces, including The Revealing Science of God and Ritual, have secured the album a lasting place in Yes’s catalogue and in the wider history of 1970s rock.
