All 5 members of the band contributed one track of their own design to this album. Steve Howe did this as a solo guitar piece. "Cans And Brahms" was not only arranged by Rick Wakeman, he played all the parts as well. Jon Anderson sang all the vocal parts in "We Have Heaven." Bill Bruford created "Five Percent for Nothing," which was played by the entire group with percussion instruments. "The Fish" was created by Chris Squire using only the bass guitar.

You rarely get to see just how versatile a guitar player Steve Howe really is. He incorporates so many different styles into his playing, but it is only on this and the last third of "The Ancient (Giants Under the Sun" from Tales that you get to hear his classical prowess. Bravo!

Steve's guitar is externally mic'ed, and you can hear him breathing during the transitional parts.
