Ive seemed to have noticed, that this is just the theme song of the old T.V. show, Invasion: UFO.

Not a good look at all. Geoff Downes continues to compete for his spot as the biggest buffoon in prog history. Comedic Relief: https://www.reddit.com/r/yesbandcirclejerk/comments/oqhjrs/woah_new_yes_track_just_dropped_i_hope_this_one/

In Geoff words:
1) In regards to recent messages, the original idea for The Ice Bridge track appears on a 1977 showreel of mine at a time when I was composing jingles and library music for a West End music production company. 2) Over the last couple of years, I have been looking at some of these early ideas, and felt that this one was suitable for further development.

I agree about Davison, I think he is letting go of trying to imitate Jon Anderson and singing in his own style. This bit of JD's vocals reminds me of his vocal work on Glass Hammer's "Perilous," my favorite CD by that band. Downes, on the other hand, remains bad as always.

^ Oh, you're a bit harsh on Downes. I agree, it sounds a bit 1984, but that synth line is very strong - it could become a hit...

I've exchanged words with Downes via email, we don't like one another. I prefer the other chap.  |

Could
this be a deliberate PR stunt? How many more people have listened to the new
song just because of the controversy over plagiarism? |

Yeah Geoff Downes is an insufferable old man who hasn't done anything musically good since Drama 40 years ago. I'll always respect Steve Hillage for ripping into him on twitter when Geoff went on a condescending rant about how DJs aren't real musicians for no reason.

What shocked me (a bit) was how easy he gave up, out of the blue it seems, his partnership with John Payne who was his main collaborator and songwriter in Asia for 15 years. Quite shady if you ask me...

Gave it just one listen, therefore I will describe it in just one word: boring!

At least it is a bit more energetic than Heaven and Earth. The first time I heard that one I had to check my player several times to see if I wasn't playing it at 0.5x.

This^ ...and I like the fluctuating vocal melody line at the end of lines like, "We're pushed to the edge of the ice" Ice has five notes. I like Sherwood's bass lines too.

Wouldn't quite be the first time. The opening to "Yours is No Disgraced" is borrowed from the theme to "Grandstand," a BBC sports program (listen at thirteen seconds in). |
