A very unusual tracks selection but considering the old prog legends adapting to those "modern times" is quite validing.
Love the yes and Rush Tracks

Right amigo! The Yes version it's more extended and complex. I didn't know there was a version of "I am the Camera" of Buggles until I saw the "Yes Greatest Video Hits DVD (Steve Howe mentions that before the track) and bought the LP. Both are great versions.

There are more people who don't know that it is basically the same track. Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes of the Buggles were members of Yes during the Drama period. Die-hard fans consider it to be the worst album of Yes, but I really love it. Horn later in the eighties produced the success album 90125 of Yes and Big Generator and also did the production for the first version of Fly From Here. A couple of years later he re-recorded his vocals for the second version of Fly From Here.

Another great comp, thanks Rissan.

I love this theme especially having both versions of I Am A Camera together here. There's a much shorter single version for the Yes one as well. Probably closer to the Buggles one. Thank you

I like Drama. In fact, have many live drama tour boots, and even though most of them don't have a very clear sound, they are quite acceptable and full of songs that were played once or twice no more. And Trevor Horn was a King Midas of producers: Seal, PSB, Yes, Spandau Ballet, Dollar, FGTH, ABC. The guy it's a genius!
