Close to the Edge, 1975


In this version, Swiss keyboardist Patrick Moraz practically destroys the song. Instruments seem out of tune (old synthesizers could go out of tune), settings are wrong, the mixing does not help. He is not a bad musician, in fact, great. But he seemed out of place in Yes, and seemed a tad put off playing other people's music.

He ended up playing for Moody Blues, where he stayed a while, until being fired by the band, whom he sued later.
