"Bumpy Ride"??? Yes has recorded a song titled "Bumpy Ride"?
Well... I fear this may lead us to the "Prog plagued by poor lyrics" thread!

"Aliens are Only..." is due on the forthcoming Squackett album.

There's a Japanese bonus track of a longer version of "Hour of Need".

There are 4 release variants: plain CD, CD + DVD, vinyl, and deluxe box set (with CD, DVD, LP and prints). The CD + DVD is priced cheaper than the plain CD on Amazon.co.uk! The DVD contains a 25 minute making-of documentary and a video for "We Can Fly".

I think they retired that song (not complaining here either LOL)

I trawled through 6 pages to get to the best post!
 
Yes this is where it counts - the track lengths are very intriguing. If we do the math the first epic clocks in at 23:18
the rest of the album makies it 46:00 in total.
 
Not a bad collection and hopefully there may be some bonus tracks or at least a DVD package to coincide with the release.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Guitarist Steve Howe, drummer Alan White, keyboardist Oliver Wakeman, lead singer Benoit David and Squire
The epic 'Fly From Here' will feature Geoff Downes though.
 
 
 


 To whet the appetite here is the original Fly From Here

That's progressive...

Agreed, I guess we can say "goodbye" to lyrics inspired by Siddhartha!  

Who is writing the lyrics, the Buggles?  "I am a camera"....ugh!!

I agree when you burn it to your ipod.Does anyone know of a program that joins all these epics together?

I do this. Make sure you're working with a lossless format such as wav or flac if you don't want to lose quality. There is an option in the program Foobar when you're converting to merge the tracks into a single file.


The one I'm using right now is Nero.

Excited about the imminent release of the new Yes album - YES! Will I miss Jon Anderson - hard to answer at this stage.

That's a quote from the magazine Classic Rock Presents Prog---the record will be reviewed in their next issue.
As a life long Yes fan, I'm excited to hear the new music---my hope is to not miss Jon too much. The title's  of the songs
already sound like something JA would not come up with.

Why on Earth would 90125 pop up in mind when thinking of "contemporary"? Confused LOL Is that the moment in time where YES members are stuck?

I agree Alex. It's a really strange comment in regard to an album that is, at the end of the day, about 30 years old now.

If they can come up with something as exciting and as ground breaking as 90125, though, I will be happy. I'm not holding my breath, though.
