Album Notes & Community Reviews

The sole solo album released by the legendary Yes bassist during the 1970s is a magnificent, orchestral tour de force that easily stands alongside his primary band's greatest work. 'Fish Out of Water' is a remarkably technical, wonderfully epic symphonic prog masterwork, driving deeply poetic, highly introspective lyricism with fiercely complex, beautifully uplifting Rickenbacker basslines.
