TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS (SUPER DELUXE EDITION) spans 12 CDS, 2 LPs, and a Blu-ray and features a newly remastered version of the original double album on both CD and vinyl; rarities; previously unreleased studio and live recordings; and several new mixes by Steven Wilson, including a Dolby Atmos version.
The origins behind TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC
OCEANS trace back to a footnote in Paramahansa Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi, which inspired Jon Anderson to imagine a four-part musical journey through ancient Hindu scriptures. That concept took shape across four side-long compositions: "The Revealing Science Of God (Dance of the Dawn)," "The
Remembering (High the Memory)," "The Ancient (Giants Under the Sun)," and "Ritual (Nous
Sommes Du Soleil)."
To capture the album's structural and spiritual ambition, Anderson (vocals), Steve Howe (guitar), Chris Squire (bass), Rick Wakeman (keyboards), and Alan White (drums) worked with longtime producer Eddy Offord at London's Morgan Studios, using Britain's first 24-track console. Released December 7, 1973, TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS topped the U.K. album chart and reached #6 in the U.S., where it earned a Gold certification.
The new Super Deluxe Edition reveals deeper dimensions of the project with previously unreleased in-progress versions of all four album tracks, providing rare insight into the creation of Yes' most audacious work.
The set's live material was recorded early in the tour for TALES and includes previously unreleased performances of all four album tracks, along with earlier favorites "And You And I" and "Close To The Edge." The shows include Zurich (April 21, 1974), Manchester (November 28, 1973), and Cardiff (December 1, 1973).
