Relayer is the seventh studio album from the English progressive rock band Yes, recorded and released in 1974 on Atlantic Records. Relayer reached #4 in the UK, remaining 8 weeks in the Top 40, and #5 in the US, remaining 16 weeks in the Top 200. It is the only Yes studio album to feature keyboardist Patrick Moraz, who replaced Rick Wakeman after the tour of Tales from Topographic Oceans, earlier that year. Wakeman returned to his position in 1976.The album, loosely based on Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace, has the same structure as Close To The Edge released in 1972, with a long number on one side and two shorter songs on the other. It is a jazz-oriented album in relation to the other albums by the band, due in part to Moraz jazz background. "Soon", the last section of "The Gates of Delirium", was released in a single limited edition in January 1975 along with "Sound Chaser", a mostly instrumental piece and a pure exercise in instrumental jazz improvisation that is reminiscent of King Crimson. "To Be Over", the last song of the album, is a complex melodic composition featuring soft keyboard arrangements accompanied by a Pedal steel guitar, also used in the first song, and an electric sitar, both played by guitarist Steve Howe.Yes have on this album used several instruments that are unique, in that Patrick Moraz adopted several prototypes of synthesizers that were either modified before being offered for sale, or that never came into production. The album name comes from the lyrics of the song "The Remembering (High The Memory)", from their previous album. The cover was designed by Roger Dean, the artist responsible for most of the band's album covers.
