Fragile notes
"Five tracks on this album are the individual ideas, personally arranged and organised, by the five members of the Band. "Cans and Brahms" is an adaptation by Rick Wakeman on which he plays electric piano taking the part of the strings, grand piano taking the part of the woodwind, organ taking the brass, electric harpsichord taking reeds, and synthesizer taking contra bassoon. "We have heaven" is a personal idea by Jon Anderson in which he sings all the vocal parts. "Five percent for nothing" is a sixteen bar tune by Bill Bruford, played twice by the Group, and taken directly from the percussion line. In Chris Squire's "the fish," each riff, rhythm and melody is produced by using the different sounds of the bass guitar. Steve Howe concludes with a solo guitar piece "Mood for a day."
The remaining tracks on the album are Group arranged and performed."
