Ordinary World is very good but not particularly Yes-like: it is more
like Space Oddity. I always thought that Duran Duran was fairly
Yes-like earlier on but since they were a bunch of pretty boys nobody
in critical circles seemed to ever mention this. The Reflex, for
example, is very much like Siberian Khatru in its tempo,
aggressiveness and an apparent disregard for conventional notions of
chord progressions and harmony.
