You are right, t'was my suggestion to Roger. The band loved the idea! Horn/Downes: there's not only ONE cat chasing the bird. :) -Giulio C.- |
Hey there, didn't expect an "insider" response. Care to tell us any more?

 Why must my spell-checker continually underline the word "prog"?

It's a bit green. I found myself having to peer at things to see what they actually were because everything is the same colour. Is that a waterfall in the background? If it is, stupid green haze obscures what could have been brilliant.
Oh well, it's a Roger Dean, so was it really going to be a bad album cover?

I can't think of one 20 min epic by Yes (any lineup) that isn't at least good...

From the Italian
website of the label:
Tracklisting: (side A): Fly
From Here - Overture; Fly From Here - pt I - We Can Fly; Fly From Here - pt II
- Sad Night At The Airfield; Fly From Here - pt III - Madman At The Screens;
Fly From Here - pt IV - Bumpy Ride; Fly From Here - pt V - We Can Fly; (Side
B): The Man You Always Wanted Me To Be; Life On A Film Set; Hour Of Need;
Solitaire; Into The Storm.
DVD: Includes 25 mins. Documentary “Making of” the
album – “We Can Fly” videoclip.
Grammy Award winners YES, one of the most
influential and ground-breaking progressive rock ‘n’ roll bands ever, are back
with their first all original new album in 10 years. As a dominant force for
more than four decades, YES has sold more than 33 million albums worldwide. Their symphonic use of sound and innovative musical style has made each of the
group’s players virtuosos in their own right.
"Fly From Here"
encompasses YES’ signature brand of mysticism and grand-scale compositions.
Maintaining a complex, symphonic sound that features the beautiful harmonies
and strong heavy riffs they are known for.
"Fly From Here" sees YES
teaming up again with legendary, 2-time Grammy Award winning producer, Trevor
Horn (Buggles, Tina Turner, Pet Shop Boys, Paul MCCartney, Simple Minds etc).
Horn also collaborated with the songwriting and brought in the sessions his
former Buggles and Yes partner Geoff Downes (of Asia) on keyboards, thus
recreating the creative environment of the “Drama” album.
The legendary
designed Roger Dean painted once again the cover art.
YES’ powerful
compositions influenced a generation of musicians with a hugely successful and
indelible catalogue of music with hit albums such as DRAMA, FRAGILE, CLOSE TO
THE EDGE and 90125.
Classics such as “Roundabout,” a seminal hit which
consistently appears on “the best songs of all-time” lists, and the group’s #1
hit “Owner of a Lonely Heart,” which Horn is responsible for. Taken from the
YES album 90125, this single would form part of a unique double, which would
see YES and Horn top both the UK and US charts simultaneously.
YES:
Benoit
David: vocals
Steve Howe: guitar
Chris Squire: bass
Alan White: drums
Geoff
Downes: keyboards
Produced by Trevor Horn

I like it. I love the scaly Yes logo. I just hope (but doubt) that the music will be as good.

If it weren't for Yes Dean wouldn'd be in business. I'm not too crazy about anything he did since Drama but I think that the artwork had something to do with it. I love the album but at the time ( 1979 ) i feared that they were going to go the direction Genesis was heading. But then again I'm still sitting on the funny farm.

The blue logo, which some thought were "fish scales" (Squire perhaps?) seem to be blue parrot feathers with blood upon them!
I guess that implies a less-than-happy ending for Polly!  |

I like it, it's a vast improvement on the cover he did a few years ago for Glass Hammer.

Great cover. Maybe a little cluttered but I still love it.

Oh, okay, that's the actual cover! Yeah, I like this one quite a bit! Still not sure about the logo, but it's an update from the old CTTE model.

Yeah, and the red stuff as well. Blood? Or red ink? |
I doubt he used blood to draw it.

Tongue in cheek! Red ink referring to the upcoming tour with Styx and Toy (an indie rock band who don't belong on the bill).
