Tempus Fugit by Yes REMASTERED

Please be aware that as of December 2017, YouTube has significantly decreased the quality of my uploads in their
processing. This may be site wide, as they have changed their encoding. Or I may have pissed someone off.

Using the following as the source media:
Yes - DRAMA
Label: Atlantic – K 50736
Format: Vinyl LP, Gatefold
Country: UK
Released: 1980

This is a remastering of "Tempus Fugit."

It's fair to say I've been working on DRAMA for a long time. Finding a really good version of it is the mission. The CD version has a lot of power noise throughout its tracks, and the gain issues are more difficult to grip in its digital format. I have two versions on LP, the UK and the USA pressings, and it was decided the UK version understood the album best.

And it has long been my contention that DRAMA is a concept album about TIME (with singular lenses, cameras, machine messiahs, air hangars, flying, watersides and etc etc) this 1st draft remastering has an aim towards gathering the material from FLY FROM HERE, Buggles AGE OF PLASTIC and ADVENTURES IN
MODERN RECORDING, and shaping it into that concept album. Which I would call CAMERA.
