Album Review
Yes-like in every possible aspect, Chris Squire's Fish out of Water is an album that's typical of his band's progressive formula: softened keyboard extensions à la Patrick Moraz, steady yet atmospheric percussion work from Bill Bruford, and a smattering of flute and saxophone that accompanies a small orchestra, which includes effective horn and harp work. Squire's guitar playing is standard, coming to life the most on "Silently Falling" and "Lucky Seven," with the former boosted by a rather dazzling synthesizer solo from Moraz. Even though there are few surprises laid out on the album's five tracks, the elemental composition of pure '70s progressive rock is strewn across each song from start to finish. Squire even sounds like Jon Anderson, especially on "Hold out Your Hand," and each of the song's melodies cater to Squire's vocal ascent. Fish out of Water harbors some firm instrumental and vocal cross-breeding while remaining well within the prog rock norm.
Customer Reviews
Fish Out Of Water
Big fan of Yes. Brought this in the 70's in vinyl and loved it. Found the album a few year ago after hankering to hear it again but found my kids had used it for a skating a board or somthing. Got it on iTunes, bargain price. Brings tears to my eyes. Brilliant album. Just buy it. Lay back and enjoy.

I was a HUGE Yes fan back in the day. I remember getting a bus to Chester to watch the Yessongs movie at the cinema. There was a supporting short: Chris Squire doing Hold Out Your Hand and You By My Side. It knocked me out and, £3.49 lighter coming out of W.H. Smiths, the album was duly played and 'learned' (artwork and sleeve notes read, pondered and copied for 'O' level art: we all did it!) The album's entrancing and, depite the usual prog-rock caveats (indulgent, over-long in places, etc), still has a freshness, surprise and intigue about it. If you haven't heard it, and are a Yes/Jon Anderson fan, then it may not be for you. On the other hand...
Yes fans must buy it
If you like Yes you'll love this. A bargain too!
