YES – „Tales From Topographic Oceans“ (3CD+BD / 2CD+2DVD) [26.09.2016]
The towering Tales From Topographic Oceans is the fifth in a series of remixed and expanded Yes albums.
Presented in a 2 x mini vinyl replica gatefold card sleeves in a slipcase with booklet featuring new sleeve notes by Sid Smith along with rare photos and archive material, the album has been mixed for 5.1 Surround Sound from the original studio masters and is fully approved by Yes.
The 3 CDs feature a 2016 mix of the album by Steven Wilson plus an alternative extended Dance of the Dawn (mixed from multi-track by SW) and 5 single edits. The CDs also include a complete alt. album with High The Memory (unreleased studio run-through) and Ritual (live in Zurich, April 1974) – fully restored audio from original sources.
The booklet includes elements of new interviews with Jon Anderson, Steve Howe and Alan White.
The blu-ray (Region 0, NTSC) features:
– 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio Surround (24bit/96khz) mixed from the original multi-channel recordings.
– the new stereo album mix in DTS-HD Master Audio (24bit/96khz).
– the original album mix in a DTS-HD Master Audio flat transfers from the original master tape source. (24bit/192khz). We believe this is the earliest master of the original mix to be issued in the digital era. (This master was also used for the original stereo on the CDs).
– full alt. album featuring: sides 1 and 3 from the 2003 Rhino CD, previously unreleased studio run-through of Side 2 and previously unreleased live version of Side 4.
– exclusive needle-drop of an original UK vinyl pressing transferred in 24bit/96khz audio and US branded promo pressing.
– exclusive instrumental versions of all new mixes in DTS-HD Master Audio stereo (24bit/96khz).
– 2016 stereo and 5.1 remix of Dance of the Dawn plus 5 single edits (stereo only) all mixed from multi-track by Steven Wilson.
Original artwork expanded, restored and approved by Roger Dean.
„I worked on and off for about 3 years on this new mix in my quest to do it justice. I hope it will satisfy the people who agree with me that it may just be Yes’s pre-eminent masterpiece.“ Steven Wilson

On September 26, Steven Wilson’s remix of Tales From Topographic Oceans will be made available to fans. And there’s a lot to enjoy in this edition, which will be made available as a 3CD/1BD-Audio (Blu-ray) set, and a 2CD/2DVD-Audio set.
The general outline of inclusion will be richer in the Blu-ray Audio set than the DVD-Audio sets. But otherwise, the main attractions and some bonuses including hi-rez versions of Stereo and 5.1 Surround, and several remixed 5.1 inclusions will be the same in both. Here’s what’s in the both packages:
- The SW mix of the original 2-disc album by Yes
- An unedited and extended version of “Dance Of The Dawn”
- Five new single edits that bring greater clarity to unique parts within the larger pieces.
- 5.1 Surround Mixes in both PCM and DTS HD, both at 96kHz att 24 bits.
- A 24-bit/96kHz Stereo mix
- An hi-rez (24-bit/96kHz) flat transfer of the original mix of the album (possibly the earliest master of the original mix in digital).
What will separate the BD-Audio from the two DVD-Audio discs will be the following:
- The BD-Audio will include the previously mentioned “Dance Of The Dawn” track in full blown 5.1 along with the five singles extractions.
- The BD-Audio will include instrumental-only mixes of the album like those found on previous SW YES remixes.
- The BD-Audio will add a FULL alternate album that includes sides one and three from the 2003 remaster of the album, as well as a previously unreleased run-through of side two, and a previously unreleased live set of side four.
- Full needle-drops of the original UK vinyl release, and the US promo pressing of the album.
- Expanded and restored original Roger Dean art for the album.
- The BD-Audio set with the extra CD will contain a complete alternate version of Tales From Topographic Oceans in live settings and studio run-throughs. The live “Ritual” (Zurich, 1974), and the studio run-through of “High The Memory” are both previously unreleased.
