I love the cover. Can't wait to hear it too!

Strictly on merit as musicians and musicianship and artistry the following people who have played on yes songs should comprise the band: does not include anybody who is retired or no longer playing. There is at least one musician who fits the category “should be retired“.
Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Tony Levin or Jeff Berlin, Patrick Moraz, Dylan Howe .
Everyone else’s second string or otherwise not even remotely worthy.
I haven't seen Yes in concert in a long time so I'm curious about this. I've only read about the Benoit David, Jon Davison and Billy Sherwood (on bass) eras; I've never taken in any of their shows. I'll likely buy the CD.

My pick would be:
Steve Howe
Jon Anderson
Jon Davison(on acoustic guitar, percussion, backing vocals)
Dylan Howe
Tom Brislin or Eddie Jobson
The Miguel guy from YouTube on bass or the guy from Benoit's YES cover band(he's a killer bassist)

Those rocks are on crack...
It definitely looks better without the type. If I were artistic director and this was submitted, my advice would be:
-Darken the reflection of the large rock formation on the right in the back. This will help it feel like it belongs in the picture more.
-Darken the bit of land under the rocks on the front left. This will help bring more continuity to the piece by creating one large shape with the boulders.
-Add more detail to this same part to help it move towards the foreground more.
-Spend a little more time on the antelope since it's a focal point of the composition.
-Vary the size of the floating rocks a little.
This isn't even considering the type, which needs even more work. I know I'll never be Roger Dean's art director and don't pretend to be half the artist he is. I think he'd probably be able to make the piece better if he put more time into it.

^ It does kind of look like Antelope clip-art.
Also the second cat is never going to make it as the next two leaps it has to make are physically impossible. Very poor floating rock placement.
The whole thing looks like it was knocked up in 5 minutes on the "Yes cover in a can" freeware.
