Yes are Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Alan White, Benoît David and Oliver Wakeman. In an interview 15 Oct 2009 with Planet Rock radio (UK), Squire said, "This is now Yes." In a Jul 2010 interview, Howe said, "This is the working Yes. You can have all the other lineups you like in your mind, but this is the line up that actually goes out and does the work. We’re the perpetuation, the continuation, and the saga of Yes."
The band have been writing material for a new studio album (
discussed in greater detail below). They enter the studio on 4 Oct 2010 for approximately 2 months, with Trevor Horn producing; a release in 2011 is planned. There was a mid-Jun report that Scotland Squire (Chris's wife) had said that the band are writing new material, a new album is forthcoming and the band's next tour will be in support of the new album, so presumably that means some time in 2011.

Echt interessant zu lesen!!!
Und ganz interessant darin:
"In a 14 Jan 2010 interview, Squire described how "Steve [Howe] and myself got together with Oliver Wakeman" in "September/October-ish". They exchanged "CDs of potential new album ideas". He went on to say that "I'll be working on those [...] this month [Jan 2010]", that the band will "discuss them some more" in Feb while on tour, and be "working on an album" in Feb/Mar. Squire was reluctant to be drawn on how the long the album would take, discussing how these things can take more or less time, but he talked of taking a "good shot at it" in Mar-May and of given the project a "good shot of energy in the spring"."
Konkret heißt das, dass die Herren Squire und Howe jedenfalls O. Wakeman und seine Ideen "berücksichtigen". Und von White heißt es, dass er auch intensiv am Schreiben ist. Na dann, Benoit, hurry up!
Und dann steht da noch:
"In his Apr 2008 interview, White said, "we're thinking about new material. Jon's got a couple ideas and things are being passed around, but nothing concrete yet. I guess we are working on some—some—new material to go with the tour." A Dec 2007 report quoted White as saying he will be spending some pre-rehearsal/writing time with Anderson in Jan 2008 and that Anderson has put together five new pieces in outline form that may be played live in 2008 and may form the basis for a new album. However, a report from Dave Ling (see 2 Apr entry) on a conversation with Wakeman had him saying the band then had no new material to promote."
Tja, wo dann wohl das neue Material von Jon gelandet ist oder landen wird ...

. Ich habe inzwischen Yes-Alben aus den Siebzigern ("Yessongs", "Going for the One") als auch aus der Rabin-Ära ("Talk") als auch das aktuellste, "Magnification" und kenne außerdem diverse Yes-Songs vom Anbeginn bis heute. Ich bin also ein ziemlicher Quereinsteiger bei Yes. Nachdem ich erst den Eindruck hatte, dass ich mit den "eingängigeren" Stücken aus den Achtzigern und Neunzigern besser klarkomme, habe ich mich irgendwann auch an die eigentlichen Prog-Stücke aus den Siebzigern gewöhnt und mag heute die verschiedenen Stile bei Yes gleichermaßen.
