Jon Anderson and I, we really liked a lot of classical music, and we wanted to get some orchestral arrangements going on 'Time And A Word.'
From Chris Squire
Strangely enough, 'I've Seen All Good People' is, I think, the second most played Yes song on American radio after 'Owner Of A Lonely Heart.' And then I think 'Roundabout' is third.
Rick Wakeman and Jon Anderson have rejoined and gone off again and rejoined, but I've been there the whole time, and even though Alan White is the 'new' drummer, he has been there since 1972, so he also deserves the credit for being around for 20 years.
I like working with modern sounds in the studio as much as I'm happy to work with a basic rock n' roll format.
I think I'll not attempt to do a 'Fish Out Of Water 2.'
'The Yes Album,' of course, was the album that put Yes' name on the worldwide stage.
'Fragile,' of course, was a very successful album for us, especially here in the States. It had a lot of solo pieces on it, though.
'Close to the Edge' is the album where we first attempted to do the extra-long-form piece of music, having one song taking up the whole side of a piece of vinyl.
I learned to do a few tricks that other people hadn't done before. I developed that trebly bass thing a little further.
Most popular records are action-packed to the last semi-quaver.
