I think that was the intent.  "Sound Chaser" contained a concise statement
of Yes's overall approach to music, of the mixing of traditional forms in
almost unrecognizable ways; the "guiding lines, we touch them: our bodies
balance out the waves" notion.  As such, I think it was INTENDED as a
hyperbole, an intentional exaggeration of a set of forms not generally
considered as particularly contributing to rock music (with the exception
of the jazz, which you mentioned).

(Also I just particularly like the organ-like guitar chords on there,
which are really great stuff, independent of the rest of the song.)
