Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller This week Mark and I welcomed the knowledgeable Chris Dale back onto the show for the third time. If you haven't listened to the episodes where Chris talks about the Birotron (the infamous rarest musical instrument in the world) and the other keyboards on Tormato, then you may want to catch up with those before listening to this latest installment. The Birotron - episode 503 The other Tormato keyboards - episode 531 This time the focus is the keyboards on Tales from Topographic Oceans and, as usual, Chris uncovers some truly amazing facts and insights. After all, he does own Rick Wakeman's double mellotron, so who coud be better placed to share the sectrets of that instrument and its unique contributions to Tales? What keyboards did Rick Wakeman use on Tales? What makes that double Mellotron unique? Which aspects of Tales does Chris think are great? Let us know if you agree with us!

Ugly American Werewolf in London: Yes - The Tormato Story Book/Album Review with Author Kevin Mulryne

Tormato is an album that only hardcore Yes fans seem to know about. Without huge hit singles and a non-Roger Dean cover that many people do not like (including famously some of the members of the band), their 1978 offering often flies under the radar. But thanks to Kevin Mulryne, co-host of The Yes Music Podcast and author of the book Yes - The Tormato Story you can learn the most extraordinary details that went into the making of this album. From working with Hipgnosis on the cover, working at Advision studios to only move to RAC, the equipment the band used, the extra tracks that didn't make the album, to never before seen images from those sessions this book is a real treasure. Even rock fans who aren't that into Yes will be blown away by the detail Kevin has included through his extensive research from members of the band to their crew and all sorts of folks in the Yes orbit. Did you know they used a rotating stage on that tour? Did you know it went platinum in the US but you couldn't get it on CD until 1989? Though Don't Kill The Whale was a minor hit, the odd songs like Arriving UFO and Circus of Heaven make this one a bit different. And with rare epics like On The Silent Wings of Freedom, Onward or the baroque Madrigal, Tormato serves up some buried treasure which Kevin has helped to unearth. The book is a fantastic read and our conversation with Kevin was even more informative.

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week, Mark and I return to our perennial favourite, the 'why did Yes want' series. Rick is back - again - after the orchestral diversion of Magnification and the Symphonic Tour just after the turn of the century (pun intended). He produced two albums of Yes-related music shortly before returning to the band so we are going to listen to those this coming week and bang on about them next week - you are most welcome to join in via the comments below. I've spent all my spare time(!) this week packaging and sending copies of my Tormato book across the world so there's been no time to look at the usual social media places, I'm afraid. So we move straight onto the discussion. See if you agree or disagree with what's said and let us know by leaving a comment on the show notes for this episode. What was Rick up to before returning to Yes once again? What are the 'Two Sides Of Yes'?

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I had a lovely conversation with Yes lead singer, Jon Davison. We chatted about the new album, Mirror to the Sky and his contributions to it as well as the band's live plans and the future. We also touched on Tormato (there's a surprise), John Lodge and other topics in a packed interview. Jon was an absolute delight and his passion for Yes music is obvious. As he points out, Billy, Jay and he have always been Yes fanboys. As i write this there is one week to go until both the new Yes album is released and (hopefully) Yes The Tormato Story finally sees the light of day, so it's once again an exciting time to be a Yes fan. See if you agree or disagree with what's said and let us know by leaving a comment on the show notes for this episode. Is Jon pleased with Mirror To The Sky? What was his role in creating the album?

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius It's time to enjoy listening to The Lexicon Of Love this week as we look for clues as to why Yes wanted Trevor Horn to return as producer for 90125. To be fair, that's not an especially difficult task as his fingerprints are all over this brilliant, era-defining work of pop genius. It's not prog but it's glorious music. What Trevor Horn influences can be heard on this album? Is the production any good? Is it obvious why Yes wanted Trevor back? https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_njQ-vtLtdr8lCUJvijX4QrS6Rf48QgtwA Also, it's time to wish all listeners, Producers and Patrons all best wishes at this festive time of year.

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius What a week it's been in the world of Yes. Thanks to friend of the YMP Roie Avin, I managed to speak to Steve Howe about his new album with his late son Virgil, Lunar Mist as well as the US tour which began yesterday with a preview concert. (Don't worry, I managed to slip in a question about Tormato as well.) YMP Producer Ken Fuller went along to the dress rehearsal and I've added his photos from the event to the show notes for this week. The gig took place at Mickey's Black Box, part of long-time Yes collaborator Michael Tait's empire also known as the Rock Lititz campus in Philadelphia. In fact Michael introduced the band and spoke about his connections with Yes. (Incidentally he is now retired.) Also this week Doug Curran was at the wonderful Alan White tribute concert in Seattle which featured Trevor Rabin, Billy Sherwood, Jon Davison, Geoff Downes, Jay Schellen and a host of other stars. A truly moving event to remember a truly remarkable person. Add to all this the announcement of concert dates for Jon Anderson and the Band Geeks in 2023 complete with a great video of the whole band in action together. Actually I think it's a composite video using some clever remote recording but whatever the case, it all sounds fantastic. Fingers crossed they are able to visit the UK.

Rick Wakeman’s Yes harpsichord moments with James Gardner – 553

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week we decided to postpone the second part of our Buggles episode because we had the chance to interview James Gardner about Rick Wakeman's use of the harpsichord. It was a wide-ranging and fascinating discussion and we learned a lot about both the instrument and some of the characters involved with creating the actual instruments Rick used on recordings with Yes. James has encyclopedic knowledge of the use of harpsichords in popular music and he mentions a large number of songs which have featured the instrument over the years. I've added YouTube videos of each song James refers to in the show notes for this episode. You might want to refer to those while you listen to the interview or come back to them at the end. I found they helped me a great deal. What kind of harpsichord did Rick use?Who made it?Where else can we hear harpsichords in popular music?

We are joined by the remarkable Chris Dale who has devoted many years of his life to collecting and renovating this, rarest of all musical instruments, the Birotron. We discuss what Rick Wakeman had to do with this fascinating story, what the Birotron is and why it was never put into production despite 1000 musicians wanting to buy one. It's another deeply hidden part of the Yesstory and one which Mark and I enjoyed finding out about enormously. I hope you also find it an interesting diversion.

Episode 51 – Yes Part 15, Keys to Ascension & Open Your Eyes The almost full Palaver of Joe, Paul, Ken, Jay and Tom tackle both Keys to Ascension albums and Open Your Eyes in this episode. The musical parallels between Keys and Tormato are explored at some length whether or not they actually exist. Either way it seems this group can’t stop talking about that particular album (Ken suggests a drinking game). Tom sees Keys as a reaffirmation of a great band while Joe posits that Keys represents what ABWH should have been. Paul suggests a Mr. Crowley influence and Ken points out that Keys features a VERY restrained Rick Wakeman. Open Your Eyes fares less well in the eyes of the Palaver. A canon album in name alone, the group finds little redeeming here which is interesting given the obvious relationship between this album and The Ladder.

The Yes palaver continues with Jay, Tom, Ken, Paul and Joe covering Talk. The group considers the (at the time) cutting edge recording and production techniques which lend this album a unique flavor. The 2 < 5 theory is explored again as well as the effect of no strong outside producer (too many Trevors, too many Jons and where is the bass???). This album does, however, contain perhaps the most "Yes" portion of music of the Trevor Rabin albums in the song State of Play of all places. Tom brings it all home by posing the question Talk or Tormato... You decide.

The evening is sponsored by Prog Magazine. DBA is the musical collaboration between the legendary Geoff Downes and Chris Braide who joined forces as the result of their close friendship and passion for music. Bass player Andy Hodge, who worked on the Skyscraper Souls album will be joining DBA on the night. Other guests at Trading Boundaries will include David Longdon (Big Big Train) and David Colquhoun (Francis Dunnery, Go West). Barney Ashton Bullock (poet, songwriter; Andy Bell; Marc Almond) will be doing the narrative on the night. DBA also announce the release of a remixed version of their critically acclaimed 2015 album Suburban Ghosts 2018 on 30th November. The album features new musicians and is remixed by Chris Braide and mastered by Mike Pietrini. Joining original band members Chris Braide (vocals, programming, piano, bass guitar, electric guitar, keyboards) and Geoff Downes – (programming, piano and keyboards) on the remix are: Patrick Howley - electric guitar, Dave Gregory - slide guitar, Lee Pomeroy - bass guitar, Andy Hodge - bass guitar and on Drums - Ash Soan. Wherever musical history is made, Geoff Downes is there. From the first video ever shown on MTV, The Buggles’ Video Killed the Radio Star, Geoff continues to gain acclaim and break musical ground. He is a founding member of Asia whose album of the same name was the biggest selling in the world in 1982. Together with vocalist/bassist, the late John Wetton, they propelled the band’s global success. With the legendary YES, Geoff joined for the critically acclaimed album ‘Drama’ in 1980 and then re-joined for ‘Fly From Here’ in 2011. He continues to tour with both YES and Asia. Christopher Braide is a multi-instrumentalist, Ivor Novello award-winning songwriter and producer who is based in Los Angeles. He is known for his outstanding work with Sia, Lana Del Rey, Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, Marc Almond, David Guetta and many more. GQ magazine named him one of the most successful and influential men in the music industry under 40, and he continues to work with A-listers on both sides of the Atlantic. DBA is a labour of love for both Downes and Braide and together they form a unique combination. They have produced three critically acclaimed albums with ‘Skyscraper Souls’ being their most ambitious yet, it features the talents not only of the principals but also guest stars Marc Almond, Kate Pierson (B-52s), Andy Partridge (XTC), Ash Soan (The Voice) and David Longdon (Big Big Train). Chris Braide states: “Working with Geoff on the Skyscraper Souls album and its two predecessors has reacquainted me with the kind of music I love. Epic and euphoric.

With Yes announcing that the next two albums to be given the 'Album Series' treatment are Tormato and Relayer, we take a listen to both and discuss what we think the issues and challenges are of playing these records live in 2017/18. Mark also listens to the new Rick Wakeman album, Piano Portraits and there's a voice mail on the same subject from Bob Keeley. Finally, our 2 pence involves Alan White. What is it about Tormato and Relayer that might be difficult to recreate live today? How will the current line-up cope with the 70s albums? Should they still be going for 'authenticity'?

Episode 114 – Yes Tracks Through Time – Part 6 – Owner of a Lonely Heart

The best-known Yes track of all time The one hundred and fourteenth episode of the Yes Music Podcast, featuring various performances of Owner of a Lonely Heart. How has this track been approached by different line-ups? What effect does Steve Howe have when he's present? Can anyone play that Rabin solo apart from him? Listen and see if you agree with me, then get involved by contacting me via any of the methods below. Please get involved with the YMP e-book - for a copy of the guidelines, please see the full show notes below... E-book As you probably know, we are planning a series of e-books covering the various stages of YES music and based around some of the Yes Music Podcast episodes. Our first publication will cover the period from Tormato in 1978 to Talk in 1994 inclusive - a sixteen year span that saw many changes in the world’s greatest progressive rock band. We are looking for contributions from YMP listeners in order to make this a community effort. If you have anecdotes, images of the band or of memorabilia for inclusion in this e-book, we would love to include them. Unfortunately, there’s a bit of information I need to give you now to make sure we all understand how we are going to run this project. The e-books will be sold and ALL proceeds will be donated to an international music charity. Before you submit anything, please note the following: All material you send us must be owned by you and therefore your own copyright... this means for example that if you send us a photo, it must be YOU who took the photo and is therefore owned by you. Please avoid sending photographs of standard album covers or other standard items - try and make your contribution as unusual as possible. We also don’t want to risk annoying any of the copyright holders of those original pieces of artwork - what we are really after is photos of treasured items you have in your collection, maybe even with you in the shot - so it’s obviously not an attempt to sell Roger Dean’s or anyone else’s artwork. If you send an anecdote, make it first hand (it happened TO you or you were there when it happened and can vouch for it as a witness). The e-book will be sold under what’s called a creative commons licence, so you will need to take a look at the details of that on the website to make sure you are happy with it. This is a crowd-sourced, charity project so obviously, there will be no payment to anyone associated with these publications. Everyone involved is donating their time, materials and expertise to create, edit and format the e-book but we may have to pay fees for online facilities to sell, distribute and collect monies from the sale of the e-book. We will choose a distribution method that minimises these costs. All monies left after those costs will be donated to the chosen international music charity. We have not yet finalised the price to purchasers of the e-book but intend it to be lower than the price of a single album on a well known download site. We need to reserve the right to edit written material and to crop or edit photographic material as we see fit to ensure its appropriateness, or size, length or shape for publication. We cannot return material to you so do not send actual(physical) items to us in the post, just send digital items via the following two ways: by email to show@yesmusicpodcast.com (as long as the attachments aren’t too big) or via the upload a file link into which you can also put show@yesmusicpodcast.com We will credit the material used in the e-book to you so please provide an exact form by which you would like to be credited in your accompanying email. Here are some examples of how you may want to format your name for publication : Kevin Mulryne, or K. Mulryne, or Kevin M, or Kevin M from Atlanta:Georgia, or K Mulryne - London, England. It’s up to you. The act of sending us the material commits you to agreeing with all of these points but does not in any way imply that we will us...
