"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.) -- Shyy-Anzr: J.
