Notes: (****) Caballero Reynaldo, a.k.a. Luis G., a.k.a. Luis Miguel González Martínez, is a prolific arranger and has released numerous tribute albums in a lounge music style, including one for King Crimson. I know doing Yes songs in a lounge music style doesn't sound like it should work, but it does (mostly). Ibáñez's vocals are a highlight, while the country version of "Onward" also stands out.
