Rough ink in a sketch book, no pencil, hence a bit awkward...
i had been rather "into" Roger Dean" since 72 or so - His book "Views" was a further influence - the idea that a new form of city/town etc was actually possible....my sense was to take it a step further and integrate it with a biological eco-system...that these structures would grow naturally, that humans could transform their DNA however they wanted - to be able to fly and sleep near the heartbeat of your home...
Since genetic engineering became real it hasn't been all that swell - Monsanto and all that, creeps trying to copywrite parts of the human genome....
we'll get to the magic one day ... if we can survive the parasites...

Thanx fr links. :) Yep, Dean fan and Yes fan since around '72...
Glad to hear that David B isn't imitating Jon on the album. Loved the Drama album..., a Yes album without Jon is possible, just there those without Steve, and -coffcoff- without Chris. i wasn't thinking of getting this album, the bickering was such a turn-off, but this sounds like the guys are in top form! Gonna hafta get it....
( Spent late teens learning Dean's ideas and Howe's guitar parts...:) )
