AN EVENING OF YES MUSIC PLUS

Soundcloud excerpts

After months of rumour and conjecture, the vital elements in what many regard as the quintessential line up of YES have now completed work on their new album to be called Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Howe. The initial tracks were in recorded Paris late last year

[1988] before the group relocated to Montserrat with producer Chris Kimsey to complete work on the songs. The mixing process was completed last week at Bearsville Studios in New York State with Steve Thompson and Mike Barbiero.

The record will be released in the three standard formats, all featuring cover art by Roger Dean. However, the vinyl edition will contain shortened versions of the songs to be found on both the cassette and compact disc.

Titles on the record are: Sound, Second Attention, Soul Warrior, Fist Of Fire, Brother Of Mine, Birthright, Quartet, Teakbwa, The Meeting, The Order Of The Universe and Let’s Pretend.

The album will be in the shops – worldwide – from Monday, June 5th.

Concurrent with the global release of the record, Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman & Howe will be in pre-production rehearsals for their forthcoming – AN EVENING OF YES MUSIC PLUS….. – world tour due to start in Memphis late July.
