Horn & Downes allude to 3rd 'Buggles' album & tour!

Also, the Drama version has MUCH more instrumental moments. While some might call that arranging, I think the additions are substantial enough to warrant writing credits for H/S/W.

Exactly my thoughts as well.

if there's still leftover material from years ago..... save it for a new Yes album.

It seems Howe/Squire/White could have claimed a writing credit for the version that the Buggles released.

Horn/Downes left out all of the YES additives on AIMR.

How is Horn's Producers album?

It was my summer album last year (or the year before ? time flies...), I love it and still listen to it regularly. I want more !

They did two live shows this summer, although they've now dropped Producers and are just the Trevor Horn Band. There don't appear to be any imminent plans for another album, although I imagine some of the same people will be involved in the new Buggles work. After that we're expecting the Horn/Creme musical, "A Day in the Life of a Recording Studio", again probably with the same people (and obviously with Horn and Creme).

Chris Braide, who was part of the writing for that first album, has now moved to the States. He's done two albums with Geoff Downes that are quite similar to the Producers album. He's also got the This Oceanic Feeling project with Producers' Ash Soan and bassist Lee Pomeroy (currently in Anderson Rabin Wakeman).

Forgot about This Oceanic Feeling. They fit in nicely with the Buggles/Producers/DBA stuff, too.

I really appreciate those who contributed to this thread. I had never heard of The Producers album. I've been listening to it a lot in the last week and I remain very impressed with it. After watching Horn's "Prince's Trust" concert on DVD a few months ago, I've become a big fan of his, having also rediscovered his earlier Buggles albums. I actually liked "Drama" when it was released. I wasn't very bright in those days; I remember my grad school roommate who bought the album telling me, "You do know that that's not Jon Anderson singing!". I didn't realize it at first!

I knew others sang in Yes including Trevor Horn on 90125, and it didn't occur to me for a while that Jon Anderson wasn't on it.
