Yes: Rhythm of Love (1987 Music Video)
7/10
Average video for a great song but it works somehow
27 November 2022
An awesome song with great rhythm and energy that sadly got a very unusual video directed by Alex Proyas ("The Crow", "Dark City" fame). His visual skills and great use of effects might have worked wonderfully in the late 1980's but today it's quite dated (though it has some interesting appeal). But the "story" following a lonely woman walking around through strange places and corridors, then followed by a robot-like machine is too weird when put together to such an inspired song about love. It just doesn't fit with the music - Yes band members appear in the background along with the superimposed images and weird scenery. Worthy of view because of its song, one of the best tracks from "Big Generator" (1987), with Yes during its more pop years where they got a wide attention in the 1980's after the smash hit "90125" (1983). I know die hard fans tend to dislike those albums, prefering the old prog rock Yes, but I like them in any way or shape. 7/10.
