Great Music... Great Art... the '70's at it's best!
Yes... This masterpiece was released my first year of college... Oh boomer!I have the original vinyl album ..probably paid $2.99 for it... still treasure it!I believe it is the contributions of Patrick Moraz ... One of many keyboard players who shared in the ...Yes experiment... over the years.. that make the album 'Relayer' a unique soundscape. (But ..then most of the band's releases were unique also). But even more so with this release. IMHOI read that the album's Epic 'The Gates of Delirium' was brought to the band ...almost the fully formed by vocalist/Jon Anderson. The band's blend of Jazz, and Classical influences... supercharged with rock & roll is delightfully realized in this song.Yes... As a live act.. this band was as 'tight' as any in the late '60's and '70's. The tour for this album was fun to have seen. Deep down... they reminded me of a Jazz ensemble... the well crafted songs did not fully reveal the band member's abilities to Jam! together...The expanded material makes this a must ...for any 'Yes Heads' out there... the studio run through of 'Gates of Delirium' is precious.This CD Package was very well crafted and the Roger Dean artwork still looks great at any scale.

"Relayer" is an album that recalls the old "Sesame Street" song, about one thing being different from the others in a group.
For one thing, the album cover, though done by Roger Dean, is both sepia-toned and a bit menacing, what with that coiled serpent on the front - a definite contrast to the bright colors and fantastic landscapes of earlier Dean covers. For another, Rick Wakeman is gone, and his place on this album is filled by Patrick Moraz, whose keyboard style is less "embroidered" and more straightforward. For yet another, the entire tone of "Relayer" is all over the map; the first track, the album-side-length "The Gates of Delirium," has a very raw sound to it, mostly owing to Steve Howe's famous "hybrid" Fender Strat, which gave a harder edge to all those birdlike guitar trills and runs. Plus, the topic is war - the hype, the agitprop, the battles, and finally the aftermath (trimmed and released as a single called "Soon," included as an extra track on this edition) - so the roughness may be Yes's way of reminding us that "War is hell." "Sound Chaser" is so wild it's feral; it's mostly in 5/4 time, and the best advice for listening to it is "expect the unexpected." It does sound like they were having fun on it, so there is that. "To Be Over" is actually more traditional Yes, with Steve alternating a birdlike slide guitar with that rough Strat. While we're on the subject, the album's structure actually mirrors that of "Close to the Edge" - three tracks, one on the first side and two on the second.
As I mentioned, this edition has "extras" - the aforementioned "Soon," plus an edited version of "Sound Chaser" (which made me very, very glad I heard the album version first) and a studio run-through of "Gates of Delirium" (interesting as a look at Yes's "process," but not worth hearing more than a time or two). Still, all in all, this is a worthy Yes album, even if it is very different.
A word on the delivery: When I first unwrapped the album, a sliver of plastic fell out. The disk tray itself was undamaged, thank heaven, but due to the "enviro-friendly" packaging (with the disk tray glued to a cardboard cover) I was unable to simply grab a spare case and transfer the endpapers and disk to that. But since the disk played just fine, and since the album purchase included the "auto-rip" feature, I saw no reason to quibble.

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2005
Released in 1974, this would be the last studio album from Yes for at least three years until the debut of their triumphant 1977 album Going for the One. Structurally, Relayer duplicates the format of Close to the Edge (1972) and as such is comprised of three pieces including the 21'55 epic The Gates of Delirium (it was Tolstoy's tome "War and Peace" that inspired vocalist Jon Anderson to put this epic together), in addition to the comparatively shorter pieces Sound Chaser (9'25") and To be Over (9'08"). In contrast with Tales from Topographic Oceans (1973), the energy levels are completely over the top on Relayer and may reflect the enthusiasm of new (Swiss) keyboardist Patrick Moraz. I think its worth noting that Moraz was a first chair player and his contributions to Relayer are consistently brilliant throughout - as an exceptional talent with a unique playing style, it is unfortunate he was not with Yes for a longer period of time.

Although the frenetic pace of Sound Chaser is exhilarating and the comparatively dreamy To be Over is a wonderful piece (Steve Howe's favorite apparently), The Gates of Delirium is my own personal favorite. Would I be way off the mark to say that The Gates of Delirium is the most well constructed large-scale composition in all of progressive rock? Being a huge Yes fan, it would be impossible to remain objective, but then again I have listened to a lot of prog and this composition really stands out. Over a period of 15 minutes or so, this multi-movement suite gradually develops into a wildly churning sonic maelstrom, with the sounds of shattering glass and the clangorous racket of metal on metal (they collected parts from the junkyard to create this effect) swirling around and fighting with violent and white-hot synthesizer lines, Squires thundering bass parts, and Steve Howe's absolutely manic guitar playing. Just when it appears that the CD player might actually erupt in flames (or wrench itself loose from its moorings), the chaos gradually dissipates into soft, muted textures, which then give way to the beautiful and gentle closing movement "Soon". Soon is a deeply emotional piece of music and Trevor Horn (he provided vocals on the Drama album 1980) has been quoted as saying that it "brought him to tears". This piece was eventually abstracted from the larger composition and issued as a single, which has been included on this remastered disc along with a studio run-through of The Gates of Delirium and a single edit of Sound Chaser. As somebody who once owned this on vinyl, the bonus tracks do not really enhance my enjoyment of the album although they are OK.

The musicianship on this album is mind-numbingly virtuosic and as I have mentioned, Patrick Moraz is outstanding. Even Alan White (Bill Bruford once condescendingly referred to him as a good "rock" drummer) provides some great drumming on Relayer, especially on Sound Chaser and it is probably his best recorded performance. Chris Squire once again demonstrates what it means to be a world class bassist and presents bass parts that range from the subtle to the impossibly difficult, while Steve Howe plays like a man possessed, with scalar runs played at breakneck speeds. OK I need to slow down - just thinking about this album makes me completely hyper.

The remastering on Relayer is wonderful and the CD package comes with a great set of detailed liner notes and color photos - the information may be "old hat" for hardcore Yes fans but should ultimately prove of interest to most. This is the real McCoy folks - progressive rock in all of its splendor. Highly recommended along with all Yes albums released between 1971 (The Yes Album) and 1977 (Going for the One).

Reviewed in Canada on April 15, 2019
When I bought this album many years ago and listen to it for the first time it became an instant favorite. It's through the heart that the music found its way to my soul. It is Yes masterpiece. I lost track of it for a very long time, but finally found this copy of their original album and I cannot describe the pleasure I felt when I did listen to it again.

At the time of my youth I would not be capable, as I am now, to describe why some albums became so important for me. Those that you never want to lose. I discovered that only during the last decades when I found them again. Every classic rock group or hard rock group of the time had their album that top them all - think about Pink Floyd and The Dark Side of the Moon as an example - and every of those albums has been classified as masterpieces. Yes also produced one, Relayer.

I'm not going to say anything more to evaluate the music, I will let you make your own idea about it. But let me say this, perhaps the critics were for some time at the both opposite but the worse ones were mostly because of the talking around one of their member who leave the group at the moment of the production of the album. Nonetheless, today, nobody can deny that Relayer has been the album that throw and confirmed Yes on the top list of the best classic-progressive rock bands of the time and for one single reason, only masterpieces can go through the heart to find its way to the soul. Relayer does that.

Buy it, grab yourself a seat, make yourself comfortable, put your headphones and close your eyes. You'll experiment an entire new world.
