Close to The Edge (YES) - Anim String Orchestra. Just amazing!

This orchestra from Indonesia's interpretation of Yes's "Close to the Edge", arguably their most accomplished work. I love the way they interpreted it. You actually appreciate how complex the piece is when broken down in another form like this.

Their music definitely passes the test of time. I think one day their music will be regarded as one of the pinnacles of 20th century music innovation and originality.
