Chris Squire’s single solo effort is an essential masterpiece. It certainly is not a lost Yes album just merely Squire’s exceptional creation which demonstrates his importance in progressive rock and equally his influence in this genre. How can you do a follow up with another solo album with Fish Out of Water being your first?’ Silently Falling’ and ‘ Safe’ without question the highlights of the album but even the shorter tracks like ‘ Hold Out Your Hand’ and the years ahead of it’s time’ Lucky Seven’ are an aural delight. The bass thumps throughout, there are layers and layers of keyboards and even the brass is so refreshing. A lost Yes album, not but as good as any Yes album, possibly.
