5.0 out of 5 stars Another great album from Yes, 16 Jan 2004
By S. C. Trump "stevect" (Upminster, Essex) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Yes released this one in 1974. This is the third cd release of it but is by far the most worthwhile to purchase. Extensive sleeve notes in a fold out booklet and all the original sleeve artwork in a cardboard sleeve and outer sleeve case. Much has been written about Relayers sparse feel and the jam section on the first track 'The Gates of Delirium' which occupied one side of the original vinyl release. Suffice to say, if you wanted to introduce someone not familiar to the band you wouldn't choose this album. For the lifelong fan of course it's a classic and 'Gates' sounds good as ever on this remastered edition.

The bonus tracks combine both sides of the US 'Soon' single ('Soon' being the beautiful closing section to 'Gates') with a studio run through of 'Gates'. This latter version is well worth having as it has subtle differences from the standard version (including 'la la' lyrics where none were written at that point !) with the most notable difference being the extra up tempo bit at the very end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes at their most frenetic., 20 April 2004
By Dr. D. B. Sillars - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
The only studio album to feature keyboard whiz Patrick Moraz, filling therole from departing Rick Wakeman. But what a contribution he makes. Thoughsome of the material was written before Moraz joined, his jazzier andfunkier style embellishes the distinctive Yes sound with something moreaggressive and frenzied. The overall effect, especially on "Soundchaser"was more like the Mahavishnu Orchestra.
This album comes across as a mirror image to Close to the Edge. Bothcontain three pieces, one side long track, backed with two relativelyshorter pieces. But whereas Close to the Edge was all lightness, andcolour, Relayer was hard and grey as typified in their respective sleevedesigns. But Relayer is my personal favourite of the two. The opening"Gates of Delerium" rips through it's 20 odd minutes at a tremendous rate.The middle instrumental section never lets up, a fierce duel betweenMoraz's synths and Howe's frenetic electric guitar. The serene ending ofthe "Soon" section is a welcome chance for a breather after the cacophonyof what has just come before. Yes have never been as energised as on thistrack. "Soundchaser" is funky, with again Howe's jagged guitar playingtaking solo spot in the mid-section. The closing "To Be Over" is calmingand beautiful and a fitting finish to this classic album.
Special mention must be made of the remastering of this recording. Allprevious versions of this, whether on vinyl, cassette or earlier CDreleases have suffered from high levels of hiss, particularly noticeableon the "Soon" section of "The Gates of Delerium". Here at last, this hasbeen removed and we now have a crystal clear sound, with lots of detail inthe mix. New life has been given to this recording. The digipak andbooklet do justice to Roger Dean's artwork. A superb job all round fromRhino.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entry to Delights, 5 April 2007
By A. J. Rabet "Rabs" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is another album I brought as a youngster in the 1970's and which I still play today, in fact it spends a lot of time in my car's CD changer. When I hear this I feel 15 again and ready to take on the world

The reason for this is itself simple namely that musically it is a tour de force with all the members hitting peak form at the same time from Jon Anderson's ethereal voice to the jazz rock drumming of Alan White, Chris Squire's peerless bass playing, Steve Howe's exemplary guitar work and finally but not least Patrick Moraz's keyboard skills.

The latter gives this album a much jazzier feel than when Rick Wakeman was in the band and given that when he came back Yes started to fall apart one must ask why was Moraz sacrificed when they were onto a more complex sound. I think we would have seen a more inventive Yes if he would have been kept for another couple of albums.

The main tracks have been well documented but my favourite parts are the ballad "Soon" at the end of "The Gates of Delirium" and "To be Over"
