5.0 out of 5 stars Groundwork of a Masterpiece!, October 7, 2003

I was alittle skeptical when I heard the first 15 seconds from the first track "Hold On" which sounded very demo-ish. Then the guitars kicked in, and the rest of the CD was a joy of a ride! The CD actually has 11 tracks- not just the 4 listed here on Amazon. Tracks are: 1.Hold On 2.Changes 3.Moving In 4.Would you feel my love 5.Where will you be 6.Owner of a lonely heart 7.Walls 8.Promenade 9.Love will find a way 10.Miracle of life 11.Cinema. Trevor's demo versions of these Yes classics with him on lead are very well done. This is a must for any Yes collector. The CD cover is cool - gold colored with the 90125 logo altered to 90124.

2.0 out of 5 stars not the pre-Anderson 90125, February 7, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: 90124 (Audio CD)

Yes, the cover art for this CD is "cool," but it's quite misleading. It would be great if the disc contained the Cinema (Rabin, Chris Squire, Alan White, Tony Kaye) versions of 90125's songs. Unfortunately, only five of the eleven tracks have anything to do with 90125. Worse yet, those five are just Rabin's early demos of what would eventually morph into the blockbuster Yes album. Once you get a magnifiying glass to read the tiny liner notes, you'll quickly be annoyed by the typos and paragraphs that end abruptly with no continuation to the top of the next page. From what can be gleaned from these notes, it's apparent that the Cinema band had completed a great album with former Yes vocalist Trevor Horn producing. I would've guessed that Rabin, as a primary force behind 90125, has copies of the last Cinema mixes done before Jon Anderson added his vocals and Cinema became Yes. If so, he didn't put them on this CD. The ridiculous liner notes even rave about "I'm With You" which isn't even included on the CD! Track eleven entitled "Cinema" is really an abbreviated version of "Make It Easy" from YesYears. The demo of "Where Will You Be" seems identical to the instrumental included on the Yes Active CD-ROM from 1994. "Walls" is fairly faithful to the final version from the Talk album and features vocals from co-writer Roger Hodgson of Supertramp (his contribution to this song is completely ignored in the notes). Rather than carelessness on the part of author Chris Welch, the liner notes, and really the whole CD overall, seem to be a comedy of errors for the label Voiceprint. All of the pre-Talk songs really convey the large extent to which the other members of Yes added to Trevor's demos in creating the final released versions. I realize that the artist's name on the cover is Trevor Rabin and not Cinema, but for those hoping to hear pre-Anderson versions of 90125 tracks, you'll have to settle for the three purportedly on the 2004 Rhino remaster.

This isn't just demos for 90125. There's demos for new albums too. It is a very interesting look at Trevor Rabin's original ideas and cool to contrast them with the final Yes versions. I'm glad Rabin is having a lot of success outside Yes, because he's a very talented musician. I've always had mixed feelings about his version of Yes, since it seemed that he was clearly the focus of the band and not quite as democratic; I would have preferred they called it Cinema. But it did produce some great music. This will show you just how in control he was.
