Chris Squire's epic solo from the Yessongs CD From Songfacts.com: The subtitle for this song is "Schindleria Praematurus," which is an obscure, neotenic marine fish from the Pacific ocean. "Neotenic" means the adult fish exhibits no adult characteristics, only juvenile characteristics. The story is that Chris Squire had the melody and wanted to sing the name of a fish that had eight syllables, and dispatched a roadie (Maybe Michael Tait) to find one. The best he could find had nine, which is why the last syllable kind of trails off. This is an instrumental. The only lyrics (if you can call them that) are the repeated subtitle of the song - "Schindleria Praematurus, Schindleria Praematurus, Schindleria Praematurus."

Nov 9, 2008 - I am fascinated by music that fits no easy description. Yes is certainly one of those bands. You can call it rock, prog rock, jazz, etc. but it's really all (and none) of those. Great stuff. Thanks for posting.
