Despite the addition of two new members to (most of) the classic line-up for this recording (named, rather unconvincingly, after an artwork by Yoko Ono in which spectators were invited to peer at the word "YES" from the top of a ladder), it's now touch-and-go when it comes to wringing still more ideas from these veteran prog-rockers. However, the late Bruce Fairbairn, second only to Mutt Lange in the barnstorming rock production stakes, succeeded remarkably well here. Enough of the traditional Yes elements are still present--Jon Anderson's unique voice, Chris Squire's clangy bass and so on--but dance loops, non-Western instruments and an excellent horn section all serve to move the lumbering vessel into fresh waters, with Latin and Afro-Caribbean influences adding a certain buoyancy. While it's likely that the majority of Yes's listeners will have followed the band for a large chunk of their 30-year career and will continue to buy their records as a kind of ongoing vote of thanks for the ground-breaking stuff the band produced in its heyday, this music is still more fun than the rest of us might have expected. --Roger Thomas (Review copyright Amazon.co.uk)
