In this fifth installment of the Perform School of Music series on the history of modern music, we continue our exploration of Yes by discussing their third and perhaps most famous album, "Fragile."
With the arrival of Wakeman, the group adds a significant classical touch (as heard in, for example, "Cans and Brahms") in an album that spans different genres and atmospheres, even within the same song.
One curious track is "Five Per Cent For Nothing," a song whose title recalls the "5 percent for nothing" that agents used to take on the band's total earnings.
This album is fundamental, a masterpiece of technique mixed with emotion, and today, we present "Five Per Cent For Nothing" for your listening pleasure.
Enjoy!
