100+ page thread starts... NOW!
So the first comment at the article's site was essentially "Bring back Jon"

Dinosaurs roam the earth. Mountains come out of the sky... and they stand there.
And even the possibility of a second Squackett album? Good news on all fronts (Yes, Squackett, Jon) - IF they all come to pass.

I am not a fan of Fly from Here, but I welcome another Yes album.
I'd really welcome another Squackett album. Surprisingly dug that one.
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
Well, I'm getting my comment in on the first page, to beat the rush!Originally Posted by Paulrus

We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air
And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973
This is very close to where I'm at although I never pulled the trigger on Squackett.
Is Trevor Horn going to produce the new one?
I, for one, dug FFH, and I have to say, it was Trevor that made the difference.
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world.
Agreed, but I seem to recall Henry indicating that it would be an associate (disciple?) of Horn's.

Is it just me or...
I think it is just you. Downes has much more resemblance to another celebrity than to Baldwin, but I rather not post the picture and derail the thread.
Oh, c'mon! Those two guys might as well be brothers (as if Baldwin needs another chucklehead sibling). Besides, NOTHING can derail a YES thread!
It was really Trevor who made Fly From Here great, and also his old chemistry with Geoff. All the best tunes were old Buggles material, and Trevor's production coaxed the best out of the band. If the new Yes is minus Trevor, I suspect that for the first time I won't really bother with a new Yes. I didn't care for Steve and Chris' material on FFH.
Oh, and for the record, I'd rather have a new Producers album than a new Yes album!
ALL YUPPETS TO BATTLE STATIONS! ALL YUPPETS TO BATTLE STATIONS!
I thought "Into the Storm" was very strong, but I agree with you about Horn getting the best out of them.
No reason why we can't have both.

Yes!
I'm thinking there's room for some more Squackett in my vinyl collection; I have always had a thing for Chris Squire.
Me too. He's hunky!
Wasn't most of the record full of Trevor and Geoff songs?
Horn cowrote Into The Storm. Btw, many I've read many articles from classic rock and prog magazines saying that Yes will record a new album after they wrap up the three albums tour, but none say how long the recording process will take or when the album will be released. I'm glad that Steve has quite Asia to focus on Yes. Also, I hope Jon D will have a very big rule in the writing process. Also, I hope this album with be a mix of The Yes Album, CTTE, and GFTO, since they are playing those full albums on tour. Or why do the tour at all?
I seem to recall that this was basically written w/o Horn, and that he really didn't contribute much to it. I dunno...maybe I'm just remembering Henry's posts incorrectly.
Considering how early in the process they are, I can't see how this is surprising.

evolving isn't new to Yes...... bring on the new species.
No resemblece to Baldwin at all....but I always that male angel from "Touched like an Angel" looked like Geoff Downes. I forget the guys name.
why do YOU go to work everyday?
