    The Steven Wilson Remixes is a box set by the English progressive rock band Yes. Released on 29 June 2018, it compiles remixed versions of five of the band's albums—The Yes Album (1971), Fragile (1971), Close to the Edge (1972), Tales from Topographic Oceans (1973), and Relayer (1974)—overseen by Steven Wilson.

    Background[edit]

    The remixes were originally released one-by-one from 2013 through 2016: Close to the Edge was the first to receive a remix, followed by The Yes Album in 2014, Fragile in 2015 and Tales from Topographic Oceans and Relayer in 2016.[1] Roger Dean, a longtime associate of the band, created alternate covers for Close to the Edge and Tales from Topographic Oceans; the other albums' covers received minor alterations.[3][4] Mike Mettler of Sound and Vision also rated the set 4.5 out of 5 stars and praised the sound quality of the set, although he lamented the lack of liner notes detailing the remix process.[3]

    Reception[edit]

    The remixed editions of the albums received positive reviews from critics. Ralph Greco, Jr. of Vintage Rock praised the newfound separation of the instruments in each album, singling Fragile, Close to the Edge, and Tales from Topographic Oceans in particular for their enhancements.[2] In a review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek awarded the box set 4.5 out of 5 stars and claimed that Relayer in particular has "arguably never [been] heard until this mix".[1]
