Notes

Magnification is the nineteenth studio album by progressive rock band Yes, released in 2001. It was the band’s first album of the new century, and their second with a full orchestra (the first being Time and a Word from 1970). It marked the band’s last studio album to date with vocalist Jon Anderson.
Released between the departure of Igor Khoroshev the previous year and Rick Wakeman’s fourth return in 2002, it is the only album in the band’s history to not feature any keyboardist, and the only one involving only four Yes .

A special record for Steve Howe, his game is brillant. Very good take of sound, stereo is perfect.

Lucked up on this for $29 at Amazon and wow... amazing sound! Flat and quiet with beautiful dynamics. Nice airy soundstage and great placement. A pleasure to listen to and a cool Yes logo etching to boot! Highly recommended!

Good sound on this.It deserved to be given a vinyl re-issue.
My copy has the A and B labels swapped so they play the wrong sides.Any one else have a copy like this?

While it was a pain, and a crunch on the wallet, I was excited to get all three versions that were exclusive to Barnes and Noble, Target and Walmart. Each had a BONUS disc with different live tracks. Some people were upset about it, but fans like me had no problem snapping up a copy of each.. Great marketing and GREAT BONUS TRACKS!!

Magnification stands out as the best post-1970s Yes album. This Ear Music Classic release is very good but not flawless, with some light inner groove noise. I'm never a fan of unused record sides, like Side D here which has an etching of the Yes logo, so I wish they would have fit it either on a single disc or use all four sides at 45RPM.

Last great Yes album? To my ears this is solid all the way through, the only misstep is "Deeper". Highly recommended to fans of "classic" Yes music.

The records are a beautiful purple, and the sound is great. Great pressing

The long history of the British band Yes known may be supposed. Prized for their symphonic, progressive rock sound and the falsetto of singer Jon Anderson. Magnification, the 32nd album, recorded with a classical Orchestra conducted by Larry Groupé. Right by the Orchestra gets Magnification something of a concept album, which is actually not true, because the album no connecting story tells. Though the orchestra gives the already dramatic symphonic album an extra load in the pace and the alternation between the vocals, the long guitar solos and the beautiful violin arrangements. Magnification is an atmospheric album that evokes nice memories of the 1970s, highlighted by the long drawn out Give Love Each Day and the subsequent Can You Imagine.

The tracks on this edition have no frequency above 16kHz and are probably MP3 sourced!

Slightly better than The Ladder but still misses the mark. Starts off promising but fails to deliver after about the third track.
