I think either they just ran out of creativity to give the album a proper name, or maybe they were influenced by new wave or mainstream music, which gave prog some sort of 'minimalist' touch (?). Genesis called their 1983 album "Genesis", that's also a very 'minimal' title. Just guessing, really.

thx so far; so, is the "90124" of Trevor Rabin just a case of 'accident'? it was previously planned as "90124", and at that time 90125 was even not on the counter... |
Is it? I think it's just Trevor's way of showing the original music which was to become 90125. That would make perfect sense.

Very interesting question!!! "90125" is the ATCO catalogue number of the album (actually 79-0125-1). I presume they couldn't think up a title for the album! same for the Van Halen album "5150" is WB catalogue number "925 394-1 W5150".

It's the catalog number for the album on Atlantic's catalog system, I believe. It's noted in the Yes Rhino Remastered & Expanded release that has a lot of liner notes.
