Let's go! #timstwitterlisteningparty

I think it was Jon's idea to open the song with the sound effects. He got hold of a bunch of those environmental tapes and I think that's why it appeared there. - Chris Squire #timstwitterlisteningparty

YESofficial @yesofficial

That’s what we used to call the “sparkle tape”. Took more than two weeks to make. We went out and recorded birds, rivers, water, wind, trees, and rustling and put it all together to create this tape at the beginning of the album. - Rick Wakeman #timstwitterlisteningparty

YESofficial @yesofficial

I loved it, it still stands up well today, you can hear four guys hammering away in the studio and that's how I get a huge amount of pleasure in listening back to these things. - Bill Bruford #timstwitterlisteningparty pic.twitter.com/72g1rSio5j

Close to the Edge was the first album where we attempted to do a long 20 minute piece of music, which was one side of a vinyl album as it was in those days and so that was another landmark for us in our career. - Chris Squire #timstwitterlisteningparty

YESofficial @yesofficial

The way we recorded that was highly experimental but at the same time it had an orchestral approach. The key thing is that scale of the title track did allow us to present something that was quite revolutionary. - Steve Howe #timstwitterlisteningparty

’Sudden cause shouldn’t take away the startled memory/All in all, the journey takes you all the way.’ The idea is that life is an ongoing journey, and you have to enjoy it. - Jon Anderson #timstwitterlisteningparty pic.twitter.com/nTS7iXvmpR

I had buddy at school, John Wheatley. We decided we would start a band together. He got an electric guitar and said to me, “You’re tall and you’ve got big hands. You should play bass.” I said, “Okay, I’ll be the bass player, then.” - Chris Squire #timstwitterlisteningparty pic.twitter.com/UB9PldRAjH

We did some long songs, but they were great. I never felt that anything was too long. If a 20-minute song holds your interest, then it works. I’ve heard three-minute songs that are boring. - Eddy Offord #timstwitterlisteningparty

YESofficial @yesofficial

I heard a record with a church organ. I remember that it really woke things up. Going into the end, we needed something really big. Sonically, it changes all the textures. - Jon Anderson #timstwitterlisteningparty

YESofficial @yesofficial

It was wonderful because it was that period in time where musicians were ahead of technology. There were no keyboards with presets, 10,000 different choices of things. You created your own sounds. - Rick Wakeman #timstwitterlisteningparty pic.twitter.com/culy8Thvf1

I don't know how we managed it but somehow we got lucky. To this day it seems to have the perfect form, and form is everything. - Bill Bruford #timstwitterlisteningparty pic.twitter.com/KG44kqDEBb

Close To The Edge, to me, will never lose its intrigue and glamour. That was a pretty high achiever in my opinion. - Steve Howe #timstwitterlisteningparty

YESofficial @yesofficial

AND YOU AND I So, you’ve got tape, you’ve got Eddy, and you’ve got a nice guitar. You’ve got a fairly good guitarist. That simple idea sold the guys, and that was the way it was introduced. - Steve Howe #timstwitterlisteningparty pic.twitter.com/RJQG7vD6tP

And You And I is like a mini-quintet-sonata in a strange way. It has different movements which all go into each other. - Rick Wakeman #timstwitterlisteningparty

YESofficial @yesofficial

The idea was very straightforward at first. It was going to be a very pretty folk song that I wrote with Steve. Soon we decided that it was to be surrounded by very big themes. - Jon Anderson #timstwitterlisteningparty

YESofficial @yesofficial

I pretty much wrote the instrumental sections. The middle 'Eclipse' part and the 'Apocalypse' at the end, I brought those pieces of music to it. - Chris Squire #timstwitterlisteningparty pic.twitter.com/lc5bxRLXrC

YESofficial @yesofficial

We wrote this section in one afternoon, but it probably took about a week to put the whole piece of music for And You And I together. - Jon Anderson #timstwitterlisteningparty

YESofficial @yesofficial

Eddy really is an unsung hero, he was the only person we knew that could mix us and help to mix us by allowing everybody's part to be heard at the same time. - Steve Howe #timstwitterlisteningparty

YESofficial @yesofficial

We kind of became a family, I was almost a sixth member of the band. They were brilliant musicians, but there were never any egos. Nobody was trying to upstage the other person or be a show-off. It was all about the song and the album. - Eddy Offord #timstwitterlisteningparty pic.twitter.com/C1Y43mlgNe

Jon and I went out there with voice and guitar and did a sort of shape for the ending. We didn't have an end and this was the marvellous expedition we were on. - Steve Howe #timstwitterlisteningparty

SIBERIAN KHATRU I've always been delighted to play anything from Close To The Edge, Siberian Khatru became a staple opener for many, many tours - we couldn't think of a better opener! - Steve Howe #timstwitterlisteningparty pic.twitter.com/TQosaRAJrx
