    Love the pod. Also, Yes did a cover of the Beatles I’m Down in mid 70s.

  • Igor left YES

    The reason Igor left YES was because of a credible sexual assault allegation … this sad history should be included in his episode

  • Love the podcast, just a shame they can’t pronounce Moog!

    I love listening to this podcast, I’ve learned a lot about Yes over the years.

    It’s just a shame the guys still don’t know how to pronounce Moog - it rhymes with vogue. This was settled back in the 70’s, keep up guys. There’s at least one YouTube video with Robert explaining how to pronounce his name, please watch it and show some respect:-)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

R.I.P. Roy Flynn and Aurora physical copies – 726
Q: What impact did Roy Flynn have on the band's early success and relationship with the industry?
Clive details Roy's role in connecting the band to key people, helping them secure a deal with Atlantic Records, and providing the practical and promotional support that helped Yes gain traction, even though Roy did not always fit the traditional mold of a manager.
R.I.P. Roy Flynn and Aurora physical copies – 726
Q: How did you first meet Roy Flynn?
Clive explains that they learned about Roy from Chris Welch's biography and, after contacting him, began a relationship built on collaboration, lunches, and shared history, which eventually led to Roy guiding and supporting the band in meaningful ways.
Master of Images – Barry Plummer’s Yes Legacy – Part 2 – Squire’s new bass with Miguel Falcão – 724
Q: Can you tell us more about flangers and why Chris used them on this bass?
Miguel describes flanging as a dynamic, short-delay effect that creates a comb-filter tone; Chris used it to push sonic boundaries, integrate effects into the instrument itself, and achieve a sound closely tied to the bass as the source of the effect.
Master of Images – Barry Plummer’s Yes Legacy – Part 2 – Squire’s new bass with Miguel Falcão – 724
Q: What is this new bass guitar, and what is special about it?
Miguel explains that the bass is the MPC Electra, a customized instrument with built-in effect modules and stereo routing, which allowed specific effects to be tied directly to the bass, offering a very distinctive, integrated sound.
In Conversation with Jon Davison about the new Yes album, Aurora – 720
Q: What are the plans for playing some of this new material live, and how do you approach bringing Aurora to the stage?
They express interest in performing new songs live but note the practical challenges of arranging rehearsals and budgets; they consider select tracks like Emotional Intelligence as strong live candidates and acknowledge the complexity of translating multi-section epics to a stage setting.
