Yes new album Mirror to the Sky with Atmos BluRay out May 2023!

[colsky]

A new Yes album, called Mirror to the Sky, is due out in May, with a blu-ray with Atmos (and presumably 5.1) mix!

Yes, it's the new Yes, which isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I for one really enjoy the last album The Quest, which had a great 5.1 mix, so I'm hopeful. Reading in the latest edition of Prog magazine, this album has 6 tracks, including a 10 minute one and a 14 minute one.

I'm just glad the band is continuing to write new music and that more recent members genuinely honor the history.

My copy of Prog hasn't arrived yet, I shall have a good read of the article when it does.

This should be the artwork and May 19th the release date.

I have mixed feelings. I really want it to be good, but the last two didn’t do it for me.

Heaven & Earth seemed too tame to me. The last one had more of a spark, in my opinion, but not enough that I felt the need to buy it.

Still, I’m hopeful and look forward to hearing it. I’d be happy to buy the 5.1 mix if I can get into the songs.

I like it too. Looking forward to the rest of the album & Atmos mix. I wonder if we will get an Atmos mix of CTTE at some point

I was not a fan of the last album. It had its moments, but sounded like what it was, which was an album recorded in parts and separate spaces during Covid. It's only one song, but that song sounds like more of a collaborative effort with better tempo and ideas in general than anything from the last album.

 

[Blackwood]

I pre-ordered the 2CD/1BD from Amazon today. I’m such an easy sale for an instrumental mix thrown in with Atmos. (I’m not assuming the instrumental mix is in Atmos, though.)

I’m not in the “no Jon Anderson, no Yes” camp. If it’s good music, it’s good music. I’m just not sure what to expect from the band these days.

 

[Bill B]

Gotta love that cover artwork. If there one thing that everyone has to agree with, it's that Roger Dean's covers are always awesome.

Agreed. And this first single definitely different, at least for the first 3-4 minutes. …and then reverts to all too expected Yes self-indulgence. But God I love this band. Bought that last one in full deluxe edition, just like this one. Always will. Reliving childhood, I guess. But damn, they get onto things sometimes. And I miss Chris, and Jon A. (not dead), and all the greats including Trevor. Bring back Reunion!

I miss Wakeman and Bruford(Tony Kaye and Peter Banks were also great); Yes’s loss was King Crimson’s gain. With their recent inconsistent output, for me, they’ve gone from Yes to Maybe in regard to making purchasing decisions.
