Yes - Sound Chaser

Every album should begin like this, with the band members quietly discussing aesthetic matters in a lovely park somewhere, with two band members seated on a bench and the other band members seated on grass quite nearby.

The listener is challenged to find an aesthetic flaw in the proceedings. Granted, maybe Steve Howe fucks up at the 3:22 mark, but other than that?

Yeah, but which one of those guys in that cozy little park bench symposium came up with the idea for "Cha-cha-cha, cha-cha!"? That's some seriously avant prog skronk.

Thanks for the comment! Idk who came up with "Cha-cha-cha, cha-cha" but it is a recurring motif that goes throughout the piece, from the guitar work near the beginning to the basslines near the end... listen for it. Cheers, Emmett
