Re: New Yes Album Artwork and Tracklist

Well, small fact here: The longest Yes song was "The Gates of Delirium" at 21:56, but this clocks in at 23:58. So... that's cool.

Re: New Yes Album Artwork and Tracklist

So then it's Trevor lead singing side 1 and Benoit on Side 2. Interesting contrast?

Is it "officially established" that he's singing all of that side, or just parts? Is Benoit singing on it too, even if it's just BGVs?

This is what we know so far:

Band Lineup:

Chris Squire: bass
Steve Howe: guitars
Alan White: drums
Benoît David: lead vocals
Geoff Downes: keyboards
Trevor Horn: producer

It appears from this that Trevor isn't singing at all. However, Squire provides extensive additional vocals as well, and it is presumed that Howe, and possibly White, Downes and Horn, provide backing vocals too.

Additional information:

"Fly from Here" is based on the 1980 Buggles/Yes song "We Can Fly from Here". "Solitaire" is an acoustic solo piece by Howe. Material mostly written by Squire/Howe/Horn

I'm pretty sure I've read that Downes did vocals on "We Can Fly from Here," but I can't seem to find where I've read that now.

Re: New Yes Album Artwork and Tracklist

So Oliver didn't do any keyboard work on this? That's interesting since I thought he was still in the band when they were recording it. Maybe Geoff wasn't a full blown member yet when they recorded it.

Re: New Yes Album Artwork and Tracklist

The writing credits are out. The following is quoted from http://www.bondegezou.co.uk/wnyesm.htm#newalbum

The writing credits are...

1. "Fly From Here - Overture" [Horn/Downes] (1:54)
2. "Fly From Here Pt I - We Can Fly" [Horn/Downes/Squire] (6:01)
3. "Fly From Here Pt II - Sad Night at the Airfield" [Horn/Downes] (6:42)
4. "Fly From Here Pt III - Madman at the Screens" [Horn/Downes] (5:17)
5. "Fly From Here Pt IV - Bumpy Ride" [Howe] (2:15)
6. "Fly From Here Pt V - We Can Fly Reprise" [Horn/Downes/Squire] (1:49)
7. "The Man You Always Wanted Me to Be" [Squire/Johnson/Sessler] (5:18)
8. "Life on a Film Set" [Horn/Downes] (5:12)
9. "Hour of Need" [Howe] (3:08)
10. "Solitaire" [Howe] (3:30)
11. "Into the Storm" [Squire/Wakeman/Howe/Horn/David/White] (6:54)

I presume Horn did the lyrics, or at least mostly, on "Fly from Here" and "Life on a Film Set". ("Bumpy Ride" is an instrumental.)

On "The Man You Always Wanted Me to Be", the lyrics were by Squire and Simon Sessler, who I believe used to manage IQ.

That leaves Howe writing lyrics for "Hour of Need", and god knows who did what on "Into the Storm".

Re: New Yes Album Artwork and Tracklist

Here is another link for samples if you don't do the itune thing:

Please note that these samples are longer (about a minute and a half) than the samples at Amazon

Well, nothing really reaches out and grabs you. Last song sounds good.

But then again the evil Apple empire did it's best to have the lowest audio quality possible. Sounded like music from out of a tin cup.

Dang. I was really hoping Trevor did all the lead vocals on We Can Fly From Here. Chris doing lead on #7, and the writing credits of that song, and the guest on keys, makes me think that that song is closer to a Chris solo song than a "traditional" Yes song, but knowing that Alan and Steve are one it makes it Yes.

I'm looking forward to it, but not as much as I did The Ladder.
