2023/05/26

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week, Mark and I return to our perennial favourite, the 'why did Yes want' series. Rick is back - again - after the orchestral diversion of Magnification and the Symphonic Tour just after the turn of the century (pun intended). He produced two albums of Yes-related music shortly before returning to the band so we are going to listen to those this coming week and bang on about them next week - you are most welcome to

You’ll know from our reviews that Mark and I are very impressed with the record and we invited Simon Barrow to discuss it with us - listen out for that in a few minutes’ time. We also took the opportunity to share some thoughts about the other release

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I had a lovely conversation with Yes lead singer, Jon Davison. We chatted about the new album, Mirror to the Sky and his contributions to it as well as the band’s live plans and the future. We also touched on Tormato (there’s a surprise), John Lodge and other topics in a packed interview. Jon was an absolute delight and his passion for Yes music is obvious.

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius Mark and I listen to the new Yes album Mirror to the Skies this week and share our responses to it.

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius Mark and I have been watching videos of Jon Anderson’s latest live project, this time with the fabulous Band Geeks.

Why did Yes want Larry Groupé? - Part 2 - 577

Yes Music Podcast ·

2023/04/07

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I spoke to the generous and talented composer, Larry Groupé, about his compositions for the 2001 Yes album, Magnification. We also talked about the orchestrations he did for the Symphonic Tour and his conducting. It was a wonderful, wide-ranging conversation. How did Larry Groupé end up working on Magnification? How did Larry approach the writing? Was he happy with the results?

2023/03/31

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I continued to subtly subvert the format of our ‘Why Did Yes Want…?’ series by looking at Larry Groupé who provided orchestrations, arrangements and unique orchestral music for the 2001 album, Magnification. We learned some interesting things about the Professor and prolific film and TV composer which will make our forthcoming conversation with him even more fascinating. As is so often the case, Larry is

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius Mark and I finally got round to finishing off our examination of why Yes wanted Igor Khoroshev this week after listening to a very enjoyable bootleg recording from the Open Your Eyes Tour.

2023/03/17

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I had a lovely conversation with Paul K Joyce, the orchestrator on The Quest and Mirror To The Sky. He tells us some rather interesting things about the forthcoming album. Speaking of which, Simon Barrow returns this week to say a bit about the fan reaction to the new single, Cut From The Stars. He’s not happy. When was Paul asked to provide orchestrations for another new Yes album? Is the new album

2023/03/10

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius In a change to the advertised episode, Mark and I thought it was essential to give our thoughts on the new Yes single Cut From The Stars so most of this episode is devoted to the best new Yes music for many years. How does this new Yes music compare to The Quest? Does it sound progressive? Does it increase the anticipation for the new album?

2023/03/03

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Jeffrey Crecelius and Wayne Hall This week the redoubtable Geoff Bailie presents his feedback on two remarkable Rick Wakeman concerts at the London Palladium which, as you can imagine, contain a shedload of Yes connections. Then Mark and I start to consider why Yes wanted keyboardist Igor Khoroshev after the aforementioned Rick Wakeman left the band, once again in 1996. We will be setting you some homework to listen to a bootleg recording of Igor and the

Yes Music Podcast ·

2023/02/10

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I had a wide-ranging and engrossing chat about what we would like Warner Music to release now they had acquired the rights to the Atlantic Yes catalogue. (At least I found it engrossing, your mileage may vary.) I am also indebted to Simon Barrow for sending in a fine report on the recent interviews with both Benoit David (which Bob Keeley also sent to me) and Jon Davison about their experiences as lead

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I began to think about the next musician Yes wanted to sign up, this time as a live associate member of the band for the 1994 Talk Tour. We talk about Billy's connections to Yes members, his involvement with Union and lots of other topics. You'll also find out what record we have chosen to listen to next week for some clues as to Billy's suitability to join Yes at this point. In addition, we have time

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius Jon Anderson's conceptual epic, Olias of Sunhillow, is under the microscope this week. Does this album live up to its amazing reputation? How does Jon Anderson get on playing all the instruments? Does Olias feel like a complete work or a bit bolted together?

Joe Cass and Total Mass Retain - 565

Yes Music Podcast ·

2023/01/13

Produced by Ken Fuller, Jeffrey Crecelius and Wayne Hall As I’m sure you know we lost another giant of the rock world this week. Jeff Beck was one of the most influential guitarists of all time and I’m sure Yes music would sound very different - or possibly wouldn’t exist without the influence of the great man. Rest in Peace. This week we had a great conversation with Joe Cass who you may well know is the drummer for Yes Tribute Total Mass Retain. He told us stories of his connections with Yes
