The phrase "unusual listening experience" may be an
understatement regarding the 2003 release Yes Remixes. Yes
guitarist Steve Howe's son Virgil (aka "the Verge") pulled
apart some of the band's lesser-known works, adding trance
beats and electronic blurps, in a sense recontextualizing this
airy prog rock for the new millennium. While the experiment is
well executed, the resulting tracks are not as interesting as
the original album tracks, nor as inventive as much of what is
being recorded in contemporary electronica, but landing
somewhere in the middle of both. The idea is certainly
interesting, and there may be no better source material than
Yes' spacy, arty, super-prog, but Yes fans will only be
inspired to bust out the old LPs, and ravers certainly won't
crack open their glow sticks at the first beats of "Starship
Trooper." Good for a listen, but probably won't spawn an entire
new genre. ù Zac Johnson
