Fish Out of Water is a good record; lots of strident orchestration with the bass guitar high in the mix. Mel Collins and Bill Bruford are nice additions to the backing band, and Squire’s lyrics are a pleasant change to Jon Anderson’s impenetrable writing.

Thanks for the heads up, 1batfastard. I’ve seen bits and pieces of the acoustic Yes material, but I tend to view it the same way as the orchestral Yes material. For me, the solid Yes albums are with Eddie Offord sitting behind the mixing desk.
