1001 Albums Summary

This a very peaceful listen, like the name of the first song would suggest. On the first song the guitar sound was a standout for me because of how clean it sounds to a point where it can almost be mistaken for a guitar. Both almost 20 minutes Songs also feature parts where an instrument is giving kind of a theme and some other instruments playing over it. Overall this is something that you can put on in the background and that puts you in a pleasant and chill mood, but that doesn't demands your attention.

Yes's "Fragile" is a Prog-Rock album through and through. Rounabout is obviously the best known song from the album with the iconic guitar Intro. But the start of the second part of the song is actually the outstanding part of it with an athmosphere that makes you feel like you're floating in space. "We have heaven" has a theme that the song is built around with a quite cool second voice. The song is very short, meaning it wastes room to explore the theme even more or work with the accompaniments established. On the other hand I wouldn´t have been able to stand more "Tell the Moon-dog, Tell the marcher"'s. After the other Songs which include another highlight with "South side of the sky" the last two over ten minute pieces are revealed. After all I get where this got it's status as one of the essential prog albums, but it often failes to transcend any emotional reaction in me.
