YES – Big Generator [Japan SHM-CD mini-LP remastered +5 bonus] , MP3+FLAC

The ’80s sounding’ albums from YES are a different beasts from the band’s discography. ‘90125’ (1983) and ‘Big Generator’ (1987) are huge, bombastic. And there’s many reissues / remasters of both albums, and all sound different.

One of you asked for the best sounding YES “Big Generator” version. Well, if you prefer a quiet vinyl-like output try to get the Audio Fidelity CD AFZ releases, but if like a booming yet clear sound, none rivals this “Big Generator [Japan SHM-CD remastered +5]” pressing.
The remastering has been handled by Isao Kikuchi, who has performed high-quality mastering for a great number of international artists, while Japanese producer Shin Katayama was chosen by Warner Music Japan as this project’s supervisor.
Additionally, this release include 5 bonus tracks, but the real meat & potato is the main ‘Big Generator’ sounding so good.

“Big Generator” is the more ‘Eighties’ sounding YES album ever, co-produced by talented guitarist Trevor Rabin. The record was successful commercially, with two songs reaching the US Top 40: “Love Will Find a Way” (also a No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock chart) and “Rhythm Of Love” (their last US Top 40 hit).
The pristine, polished sound production of “Big Generator” never sounded better than on this remaster.
