9.Break Away From It All
Produced by Steve Howe
YesのギタリストSteve Howeの1stソロアルバム。
レコーディングに関しては、基本的にまず、ドラムを録音し、それから、ベースライン、ペタル・スチール、あちこちに短いギターのフレーズ等を入れ味付けし、最後にリードギターを録音、肝心のヴォーカルパートはその後ハーモニー、メロディ・ラインの順で録音したとのこと。
Vocalは全面Steve Howeであり、このHoweのVocalは好みが分かれるところ。
Yes 3rdでの「The Clap」のような躍動感溢れる曲やFragileでの「Mood For A Day」のような美しい曲で埋め尽くされていることを期待して聴くとスカされるかもしれない。
# 「The Clap」みたいな曲「Ram」がこのアルバムでは個人的に一番好きです。

Howeのソロ3rdアルバム。ゲストでBill Bruford、UltravoxのBilly Currie らが参加。
Howeのギターがやけにシャープであり、弾きまくっている。全体的にHM/HRのノリは入っているように感じるが、1曲目のタイトル曲"Turbulence"は特にメタルのノリが入っているようでカッコ良く聴こえる。
本作はポップな曲が多く非常に聴きやすいが、これはUltravoxのBilly Currieが参加しているため、Ultravoxで培ってきたニュー・ウェイヴ（テクノ・ポップ、ブリティッシュ・ニューロマンティクス）のテイストが多少なりとも注ぎ込まれているのがやはり大きいと思う。
"The Inner Battle"と"Sensitive Chaos"は、Yesのアルバム"Union"収録曲の原曲。本作が86〜89年に制作され、"Union"を挟んでようやく91年に発表されたということは、前記2曲はもともとSteve Howeのソロ用に書かれた曲をYesのものにしてしまったのではないかと考えられる。
全曲インストゥルメンタルでHoweのヴォーカルはないので、ソロ1st、2ndのHoweの歌で敬遠してしまった人も本作は必聴。
