The Tales book is released PLUS Adam Wildi Tales interview – 680
Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week I’d like to celebrate the release of my second book, Tales from Topographic Oceans - Yes Album Listening Guide - a title almost as lengthy as the record itself. It’s been a very long and sometimes challenging process to prepare the book for publication - much like the record itself. However, it’s finally here and you can buy it from all the usual places. If you haven’t yet ordered your copy, you live outside the UK and you would like to help me out, please visit YesMusicBooks.com and order from there. There are print on demand links in the store on the site which will allow you to order copies of the book and its full colour supplement, printed at a location near where you live, avoiding shipping costs and the associated environmental impact. I also get to keep more of the proceeds from the order, rather than giving it to the big corporations. Shipping time may be a little bit longer than the online stores but the choice is up to you. If you are in the UK please order directly from BurningShed.com and if you normally get your books from a local independent bookstore, then that is also a great option wherever you are in the world. The book ended up being 336 pages long which is rather a surprise to me. The initial idea was to produce something shorter and simpler than the Tormato Story book - more of an actual guide, rather than an in-depth study. However, as soon as I started, it became obvious that I could resist travelling down just as many fascinating rabbit holes as last time. I did manage to uncover some previously hidden information and it was a lot of fun researching as many different aspects of this epic work of progressive rock as I could. As Prog Magazine put it in their review, “The most rewarding way to experience Tales is to dive in and become immersed. This book is the very definition of that.” Yes - The Tormato Story Available now!

6 reasons The Yes Album is a great Yes album – 679
Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week, Mark and I enjoyed coming up with 6 reasons why the band’s third record, The Yes Album, is a great Yes album. As I’m sure you know, this was Steve Howe’s first album with Yes and also Tony Kaye’s last. It is correctly viewed by many fans, critics and Steve Howe himself as the first Yes masterpiece. Clearly, we could have found dozens of reasons why this is a great Yes album but that would have left less room for you to be involved. So please do add your reasons in the comments below. What do you think we chose? Is this album the start of the progressive sound of Yes? Was the success of the album all down to the musicians? Let us know if you agree with us! https://youtu.be/1fUudna1Xuw?si=tk5dHyQskjh4_LmY Yes - The Tormato Story Available now!

Favourite new millennium Yes songs – 678
Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius R.I.P. Johnny Bruhns https://www.youtube.com/live/QkQRiUdVUag?si=-VMIOIbSdCzLqNYU https://johnnybruhns.bandcamp.com/album/welcome-to-the-kingdom https://www.youtube.com/live/1wOQPyQMbE4?si=4rzlFs59JGG5RAsX This week, Mark and I considered the Yes music of the new Millennium - 25 years after it began. In this time, the band have produced just 5 studio albums and 1 EP: Magnification Fly From Here From a Page (EP) Heaven and Earth The Quest Mirror to the Sky However, there are plenty of examples of great Yes music to enjoy and Mark and I chose 3 examples each. What did we choose? Anything from Heaven and Earth? Did we get it 'right'? See if you agree with us and let us know by leaving a comment below.

Yes audacity – 677
Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week, Mark and I returned to our occasional series on Yes concepts. This time we considered Yes audacity - those times when the band has done something few others would have attempted. We both came up with 3 examples and it proved to be a very enjoyable conversation, albeit with quite a bit of shameless self-promotion from me. In the world of progressive rock, perhaps the most audacious genre of all, what do you think we came up with - and what would you have chosen? Let us know in the comments below. What are the best examples of Yes' audacity from the past 50+ years? Innovation or excess? Would you have chosen the same examples as us?

AI killed the prog star? – 676
Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week we have a bumper, epic episode where Simon Barrow, Mark and I discuss AI and its impact, in the context of Yes music, of course. My daughter, Charlotte, also gives us her thoughts on the subject so many thanks to her. This topic was suggested by the appearance on YouTube of an album entitled 'YEP - On The Waterline (70's Prog Rock / Progressive Rock)' as spotted by Charlie Nolan. Should AI be used in music? What impact could it have? What about the future for Yes and all other music artists? See if you agree with us and let us know by leaving a comment below.
