Presented as a double album with one track on each side its concept is based on singer jon anderson s interpretation of four shastric scriptures from a footnote in autobiography of a yogi by paramahansa yogananda.
I would say this album is key to yes career but i would warn about replay value.
I think it s fair to say that you need to be a committed yes fan to fully appreciate it.
