After Wood's departure following the band's debut record, Lynne wrote and arranged all of the group's original compositions and produced every album.

Yes- The Steven Wilson Remixes (5 CD, 2018) [FLAC +24/96]

 

In 2013, in addition to his many recording and remixing projects, Steven Wilson remixed a sizeable chunk of the Yes catalog. Interestingly, he didn’t proceed chronologically, but by using an inner aesthetic that has become his trademark through previous projects with King Crimson and Jethro Tull. In 2013, he completed 1972’s Close to the Edge, in 2014 he did a stellar job on 1974’s Relayer (arguably never properly heard until this mix) and 1971’s The Yes Album. The following year it was 1972’s Fragile and in 2016, 1973’s double-length Tales from Topographic Oceans. These high-resolution remixes were previously available only on Blu-Ray and DVD (while the conventional CDs contained 16/48 resolution mixes).
