Episode 56: YESSOUNDS 056- Natural World

Yessounds steps into a calmer space this week with Episode 056: Natural World, a full journey through the atmospheric, meditative side of the Yes universe. Our Featured Album is Rick Wakeman’s The Natural World Trilogy (1999), a three‑part exploration of nature, texture, and quiet emotional landscapes.

Along the way we visit the softer corners of the Yes family tree — Jon Anderson’s Angels Embrace, Steve Howe’s reflective pieces, Oliver Wakeman’s spiritual instrumentals, Tony Kaye’s cinematic work, Tom Brislin’s ambient sketches, and even a rare New Age‑leaning moment from Bill Bruford with Michiel Borstlap.

Settle in and enjoy the quiet side of Yes.
