The last men standing among the major 70s progressive rock bands are no longer the band they once were, with choirboy-on-acid singer Jon Anderson now replaced by Jon Davison. Despite the inevitable grumbling, Davison’s been doing a good job on stage, and he captures Anderson’s distinctive tones on record, too. Producer Roy Thomas Baker – best known for his work with Queen – gives the album a rich, 70s sound, and the material is solid enough, flavoured with Steve Howe’s distinctive, rippling guitar and Geoff Downes’ retro keyboard. What’s missing is the ambitious scope of their heyday, and the vitality of the younger generation of progressive rock bands.
At times, Heaven and Earth verges on the twee, and there’s a distinct AOR flavour throughout,
with only occasional flashes of the Yes of old. Only the closing mini-epic Subway Walls will excite fans of the original band, as Downes and Howe solo over a Chris Squire bass riff, building to a symphonic rock climax
