I've not been a fan of Yes, too many other prog bands had my attention back then but I knew their productions were excellent - creative sounds & searching for new ideas.
The use of reversed sounds was, as noted, far from new but the way they used it to build tension & suspense - as well as uncertainty as mentioned by Gordon - is really cool. I have a couple of their LPs and I drag them out from time to time.
The relative untidiness of the song...nothing is perfect, there are timing issues etc...is wonderful.
