For the first time in 10 years, Progressive Rock pioneers Yes have delivered an album onto the British Public and the outcome is nothing short of marvellous.
Fly from Here is the band’s first studio album since the release of 2001’s Magnification and even though the personnel has once more changed, it comes across as superbly arranged and decently produced and with none of the whispers of pretension that has dogged the band over the years. Whether this is down to the influence of producer Trevor Horn, who as a former Yes member, albeit briefly, understands the point that the musicians always try to get across or the band gelling superbly and rallying round to come up with a fine album.
