Cost Of Living
Rick Wakeman, the legendary Yes keyboardist, explores progressive and art rock territories on this 1983 Charisma release. Intricate keyboard arrangements interweave with orchestral elements, creating ambitious, theatrical soundscapes. It's uncompromisingly progressive—complex time signatures, layered synthesizers, and genuine compositional sophistication define the sound. Yet despite the technical ambition, there's real melody and emotional resonance underneath. The work showcases Wakeman's virtuosity and compositional vision in a solo context. This is music for serious prog fans, but it's genuinely engaging rather than indulgent. A fine example of art rock ambition from a true master of the keyboard.
