"Close to the Edge" became an inspiration for their contemporaries and for successive generations of musicians.

Steve Howe: "We reached a real high, doing Shut To The Border, we valued the musicianship, the artistic ideas and the vocalising that people bring and that's why we're however doing it, because information technology's exciting to do! Close To The Border was voted the most-proggy album possibly ever made. Information technology was very experimental. Nosotros had already washed 10-minute epics but with Shut To The Edge we just took it a stage further and I'thousand very pleased we were brave enough to do that."
