Yes are back with its second collection of singles release with yessingles2. Progressive rock, known for its complex compositions and fusion of jazz and classical elements, has always maintained a cult status, challenging mainstream tastes. The genre's elaborate, lengthy arrangements often clash with the commercial demands of record labels. As a result, studio engineers and producers frequently faced the task of trimming down ten minute epics into radio-friendly, four minute versions. For many new listeners, this serves as an accessible introduction to the world of prog rock. Yessingles 2, released as part of Rhino's Rocktober series, offers a collection of these radio-friendly edits from the legendary band Yes. While diehard fans might prefer the original, uncut versions, this compilation provides a convenient entry point for those looking to explore Yes's intricate soundscapes without committing to the full-length compositions. It's a nod to the balancing act between artistic integrity and commercial appeal that has defined progressive rock since its inception.
