Why Did Yes Want Trevor Horn - As Producer - Part 2 -...

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/12/23

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius It's time to enjoy listening to The Lexicon Of Love this week as we look for clues as to why Yes wanted Trevor Horn to return as producer for 90125. To be fair, that's not an especially difficult task as his fingerprints are all over this brilliant, era-defining work of pop genius. It's not prog but it's glorious music. What Trevor Horn influences can be heard on this album? Is the production any good? Is it obvious why Yes wanted

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/12/16

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius After a couple of weeks of illness I’m delighted to say I’m now almost 100% and back to the YMP. I’d like to thank everyone who has sent kind wishes - they are very much appreciated. This week we delve into the reasons why Yes might have wanted Trevor Horn back in the fold for 90125. Who wanted Trevor back? What were his special skills? Did he want to go back?

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/11/25

Produced by Ken Fuller, Jeffrey Crecelius and Wayne Hall Mark and I spent a very enjoyable week listening to CTTE and Relayer - and why not? In time honoured fashion we have recorded our thoughts independently and then we meet up to criticise each other’s ideas. Not really. We do, however, indulge in the futile but nevertheless enjoyable process of ranking the albums against each other and coming out with a winner. Will you agree with our assessments? The sense of anticipation could be cut with a

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/11/18

Produced by Ken Fuller, Jeffrey Crecelius and Wayne Hall This week Mark and I embark upon another inevitably unjustifiable escapade - the rating of two classic Yes albums against each other. If it wasn’t fun we wouldn’t do it but it keeps us off the streets at least. This time we have decided to pit Close To The Edge against Relayer and you can play along as well. In part 1 we bang on about the similarities and differences between the records and then next week we will report back on our findings

2022/11/11

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week we met the delightful Chris Welch who wrote one of the most important books about Yes, Close To The Edge - The Yes Story. Journalist for Melody Maker, Kerrang and many other publications, Chris has known the band from its earliest days and we very much enjoyed talking to him about those days in the early 70s as well as his trip to Advision to see the band recording Tormato. It was a great conversation so we hope you enjoy it as

Yes 8-Track Tapes with Tim Durling - 558

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/11/04

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week we are off into the weeds once again, this time with Tim Durling as our guide. As the originator of Tim’s Vinyl Confessions, he is ideally placed to tell us more about the 8 track tapes that have been released over the years by Yes and we discover a wealth of interesting facts about the much-maligned media format which, as you may remember, was the basis of the ill-fated Birotron Rick Wakeman championed and part-funded in the

Why Did Yes Want...Eddie Jobson? - Part 2 - 557

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/10/28

Produced by Ken Fuller, Jeffrey Crecelius and Wayne Hall This week, Mark and I have been enjoying listening to Night After Night, the live album from UK in our quest to discover why Yes wanted Eddie Jobson. Hear our views in a few moments’ time and add your own to the comments in the show notes for this week’s episode. Did you see UK in either of their incarnations? What do you think of the 3-piece lineup without Bruford and Holdsworth but with Terry Bozzio? Did it work? Let us know. How does the

Why Did Yes Want...Eddie Jobson? - Part 1 - 556

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/10/21

Produced by Ken Fuller, Jeffrey Crecelius and Wayne Hall This week Mark and I have been considering why Yes wanted Eddie Jobson. He stayed with the band for about as long as a British Prime Minister but there must have been compelling musical reasons why he was asked to join in the first place. So that’s what we are beginning to explore in this episode. WHile Eddie isn’t very well-known outside the Prog world, he certainly had the capacity to take Yes in a different and perhaps very interesting

Why Did Yes Want...The Buggles? - Part 2 - 555

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/10/14

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius We are finally back with part 2 of our look at the Buggles and why Yes might have wanted them. For this, we’ve been listening to the first album from the duo, The Age Of Plastic, seeing if we can pick up some pointers. As usual, it was a revealing and enjoyable experience and quite topical as Trevor Horn’s autobiography is being advertised across all of my social media at the moment. Let us know what you think of our views in the show notes

2022/10/07

Produced by Ken Fuller, Jeffrey Crecelius and Wayne Hall What a week it’s been in the world of Yes. Thanks to friend of the YMP Roie Avin, I managed to speak to Steve Howe about his new album with his late son Virgil, Lunar Mist as well as the US tour which began yesterday with a preview concert. (Don’t worry, I managed to slip in a question about Tormato as well.) YMP Producer Ken Fuller went along to the dress rehearsal and I’ve added his photos from the event to the show notes for this week. The

Rick Wakeman's Yes harpsichord moments with James...

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/09/30

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week we decided to postpone the second part of our Buggles episode because we had the chance to interview James Gardner about Rick Wakeman’s use of the harpsichord. It was a wide-ranging and fascinating discussion and we learned a lot about both the instrument and some of the characters involved with creating the actual instruments Rick used on recordings with Yes. James has encyclopedic knowledge of the use of harpsichords in popular

Why did Yes want...The Buggles - Part 1 - 552

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/09/23

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week we are back with our ‘Why did Yes want…’ series and we have reached 1980 when both Anderson and Wakeman had left the band and up stepped Horn and Downes. How did this happen and why would Yes want to develop a relationship with a pop band? Listen on to discover our thoughts and then add your own to the show notes. Over the coming week we will be listening to The Buggles album, ‘The Age Of Plastic’ to try and find some clues to help

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/09/17

Produced by Ken Fuller, Jeffrey Crecelius and Wayne Hall This week, Mark and I consider the question of what would happen if Yes were restricted to only playing music from Open Your Eyes to The Quest in a concert. Imagine that. Well, we did. Listen out for our ideas and add your own to the show notes for this week.

Why did Yes want...Patrick Moraz? Part 2 - 550

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/09/09

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week, Mark and I give our impressions of the self-titled album by Refugee, featuring Patrick Moraz, in our attempt to see why Yes wanted him in the band in 1974. As you will hear, we both rather like it. Please do add your own comments to the show notes for this week’s episode and let us know if you agree or disagree. Is it obvious why Yes wanted Patrick Moraz from this album? What special abilities does he show here? Would he fit in?

Why did Yes want...Patrick Moraz? Part 1 - 549

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/09/02

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I consider why Yes wanted Swiss keyboardist Patrick Moraz to join them after the departure of Rick Wakeman. We discuss the bands which Moraz played in and the route he took to arrive with Yes which, as you might imagine, wasn’t straightforward! It eventually led to his band, Refugee so we will be spending next week listening to their self-titled album in order to give you our thoughts on that record. Sounds like it’s

"Po...confirmed it was me!" - YMP speaks to Rob...

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/08/26

Produced by Ken Fuller, Jeffrey Crecelius and Wayne Hall Mark and I had a great time speaking to photographer Rob Brimson this week. He was with Po from Hipgnosis when the photos of YES band members on the inner gatefold sleeve of Going For The One were taken and he took the shot of Yes Tor which adorns the cover of Tormato. He also did a bit of informal modelling work… Rob was open and generous about the days when he was based at Hipgnosis’ studios in London as well as his trip to Mountain Studios

Why did Yes want...Alan White? Part 2 - 547

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/08/19

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I have enjoyed listening to Alan White in a rather different context to normal - adding his remarkable talents to John Lennon’s classic album, Imagine. We present our thoughts and then get together to have a chat about the music and the musicians involved. Please do add your own thoughts to the show notes and see if you agree with Mark and me. We also found time to consider a two pence topic around Jon Anderson’s plans

Why did Yes want...Alan White? Part 1 - 546

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/08/12

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius While we wait for Yes to begin their tour in Japan in September and following the end of Jon Anderson’s Close To The Edge tour, it’s comparatively quiet in Yes world at the moment. That certainly doesn’t mean we don’t have anything to talk about, of course. So this week Mark and I have been thinking about why Yes wanted the late and already desperately missed Alan White. We have discovered or perhaps rediscovered some aspects of Alan’s

Colin Elgie's Yes artwork secrets PLUS Mark's album...

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/07/29

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius I recently spoke to illustrator Colin Elgie, who was a freelance illustrator for legendary album art producers, Hipgnosis, for the whole of the 1970s. We chatted about his artwork for Tormato and I found out that he also produced some other Yes items you'll recognise, along with other prog album covers. It was a great phone call and this week I explain to Mark what Colin said and we take a look at some of the artwork Colin and I discussed.
