The time is finally here for Mark and me to present our in-depth review of the new Yes studio album, The Quest. We are also delighted to be joined by Henry Potts, the man behind the essential Yes online source, http://www.bondegezou.co.uk/ which has been cataloguing the crazy world of Yes and its former members since 1998 - and we thought we were doing well with 10 years! So listen out for that conversation. First of all, Mark and I give our impressions of The Quest, then there's a surprise

2021/09/24

Mark and I had a brilliant time this week speaking to Richie Castellano about his Band Geek Yes covers. Multi-instrumentalist Richie is passionate about Yes and a lot of other music and if you haven't seen his Band Geek YouTube channel, then what are you waiting for? It's amazing. We chat about topics like: How does Richie choose songs to cover? What is the rehearsal and production process like? What have been Richie's favourite Yes covers? So listen out for that conversation.

In a truly epic episode, as is appropriate for the 500th, Mark and I present a competition and have the privilege and pleasure to speak to not one but two Yes keyboard legends - founder member, Tony Kaye and present band member, Geoff Downes. We talk to Tony about his recently-released and highly remarkable debut solo album, End of Innocence, as well as asking him some of the questions about Yes which have been keeping us up at night for years (well, not really). Geoff Downes discusses new

Hopefully you have had a chance to listen to the album but if not, check out the videos below. Why is there a piano piece on this disc? How does the album sound? Was it all worthwhile?

Produced by Wayne Hall, Jeffrey Crecelius and Preston Frazier This week Mark and I embark on another 'what did they do next' quest. Once again we come to Rick Wakeman and what he did after leaving the band in 2005. So we discuss the next release from Mr. Wakeman which turns out to be a most unusual release, even for him. Take a listen below and then join in with our assessment of the package next week. Also, this week, you can't have failed to notice that Yes have released a second online

2021/08/27

This week I was able to speak to Scott Schorr about how he created the LEVIN TORN WHITE album. You may not know Scott's name but you're bound to have heard some music he has been involved with. Founder of record label and music publishing company, Lazy Bones Recordings, Scott describes himself as 'a successful Music Producer, Arranger, Songwriter, Beat Maker, Mixing Supervisor and Video Editor'. He has produced recordings for some people you might have heard of such as Jordan Rudess, Marco

Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Preston Frazier, and Wayne Hall This week Mark speaks to one of the unsung heroes of Yes’ recent releases (going back to the Like It Is live series), Maor Appelbaum. If, like me, you haven’t a clue what a Timbre Farm is or what difference a Saturator/Clipper makes to the sound of a record, then you’re in for a treat. It’s a fascinating and in-depth conversation, so many thanks to Mark and Maor for making this happen. What IS mastering? Which Yes records has Maor

Produced by Wayne Hall, Jeffrey Crecelius and Preston Frazier This week Mark and I finish off our investigation of some of the interesting songs from the Yes official Spotify playlist, Yes not Yes. We listen to 6 of the songs we didn’t know and we hear from listeners who left comments filling in details on some of the others. It was great fun and I think we both learned a lot. What did we learn from listeners and other sources? Are all the contributions worthwhile? How long would the Yes

2021/08/06

Produced by Wayne Hall, Jeffrey Crecelius and Preston Frazier This week has been a little quieter in the land of social media and conspiracy theories - at least for Yes. So Mark and I decided to go through a Spotify playlist created by Yes official which is called Yes Not Yes. It includes lots of music which Yes members and alumni have been involved with over the years and it’s a very interesting collection. Take a listen to what Mark and I have to say about the selection and then add a comment

Produced by Wayne Hall, Jeffrey Crecelius and Preston Frazier I'm officially on leave but Mark and I had to comment on the storm around Ice Bridge Gate this week. If you haven't been on social media for some time you may have missed what happened so we aim to bring you up-to-speed on all the tortuous twists in this tale. Who wrote The Ice Bridge? Where did it come from? Why is a very similar tune on a 1980 film and Sale of the Century? Listen to the episode and let us know what you

Well, here we are. Friday 23rd July 2021 and we have brand new Yes music to enjoy. The Ice Bridge is available for all to listen to on Yes’ YouTube channel and Mark and I share our initial reactions to it. Sneak preview - we love it. We also speak to the wonderful Claire Hamill in an interview I’m sure you will enjoy as much as we did. There are some amazing and hilarious recollections about Alan White and others to enjoy. What was the London music scene like in the early 1970s? What was Alan

2021/07/16

I had no time to do any news collation this week but I did have time to speak to the redoubtable Geoff Bailie and the equally impressive Mark Anthony K about what could have happened if the ill-fated Paris Sessions of 1979 had ended in a Yes album. I also invited Geoff to give is thoughts on the forthcoming new Yes album, The Quest. What was that music like? Was it worth finishing off? Would we have had Drama or 90125 or anything else from the band? Listen to the episode and let us know what you

This week there was some fairly significant Yes news - The Quest is the new studio album which will be released on 1st October 2021. Mark and I will be talking about this, as you can imagine, in our two pence later in the episode. Before that, we finish off our examination of The Syn’s 2005 album, Syndestructible which we are taking as what Chris Squire did next in the Yes hiatus period.

Produced by Wayne Hall, Jeffrey Crecelius and Preston Frazier This week I am officially on holiday from the day job but that didn't stop Mark and me discussing the next person in our What Did They Do Next series - it's Chris Squire. He never really left Yes but during the hiatus period he did get up to some interesting things... What did Chris Squire do in the hiatus? Why was it a return to former times for him? What was the result and was it worth it? Listen to the episode and let us know

I recommend you stay and become inducted into the mindset of the YMP enthusiasts. It’s fun, or at least I’ve found it so for 10 years now. So assuming you are still with me, we will be diving into a

This week, Mark and I watched the concept DVD Tour of the Universe from Jon Anderson which was the first major release from him after leaving Yes at the start of the band’s hiatus period in the mid 2000s. We have a chance to feed back on what we found out a little later and then we come together to discuss it all. There’s also a rather important 2 pence where we discover quite a bit about the new Yes album. Stay tuned for all that. What did Jon Anderson do next? What is a concept DVD? Who

Interview Special with Yes guitar legend, Steve Howe...

Yes Music Podcast ·

2021/06/15

In a special, extra episode, I have the pleasure of talking to the man who helped Yes to transform their sound and approach in 1970, Steve Howe. He told us about his time in Asia and how the band got back together in 2007 with its original line-up which is featured on the latest release, Asia, The Reunion Albums, 2007-2012. We also had a chance to hear about the slightly different approach on Steve's latest Homebrew collection, which is to be released in July 2021. As always, it was a delight to

Yes Music Podcast ·

2021/06/11

Once again this week, Mark and I are looking at what did they do next. We have reached the Yes hiatus period from 2004 and we are using the opportunity unashamedly to examine what each of the 5 members of the band did in this interregnum. First, we will look at one of the Yes men who did really leave at this point, in fact, never to return, Jon Anderson. What did he get up to once he had recovered from total exhaustion at the end of the 35th Anniversary Tour? Listen on to find out.

This week, Mark and I return to the surprisingly long series on what did Yes members do when they left the band. It’s Igor Khoroshev’s turn this time and, as you’ll hear it’s more than usually difficult to decide what he went onto next but we do have a go at it.
