Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released concurrently with solo projects from all other members of Yes, Steve Howe's 'Beginnings' is a highly ambitious showcase of his staggering instrumental versatility. Utilizing an array of orchestral arrangements, the album bounces erratically between classical guitar, country-picking, and bombastic symphonic rock, featuring guest spots from Yes rhythm section Bruford and White.
