Here is the snippet from Wikipedia that informing Yes will release their new upcoming album "Fly From Here" in mud July 2011. My surprise is the keyboardist. No more Oliver Wakeman, he replaced by Geoff Downes. It's good actually..but is it not to more Asia (with Steve Howe and Geoff Downes on this band) rather than original Yes taste????
I just thinking, there is a possibility that (it's just a crazy thought) Jon will be one of his guess vocalist in this upcoming album (ha..ha..ha..).
Fly from Here is the upcoming twenty-first studio album by the English progressive rock band Yes. It is expected to be released July 12, 2011 on Frontiers Records in the US,and 22 June on Avalon in Japan. The album takes its name from its title song.
Trevor Horn, who was the lead singer for the Drama (1980) album and tour and also co-produced their next two albums 90125 (1983) and Big Generator (1987), is producing the album.[1] According to guitarist Steve Howe, it is also expected to include a lengthy piece along the lines of the group's earlier songs like "Close to the Edge".[5]
Drama era Yes keyboardist Geoff Downes returns to the band for this album, handling most or all of the keyboards following Oliver Wakeman's departure from the band. Downes and Horn had first approached Yes with a demo of the song "We Can Fly from Here" in 1980, prior to joining the band. The song was recorded by the band as a studio demo but left off from Drama. It was, however, played on that album's 1980 tour. A live version from that year appears on The Word Is Live (2005).After Yes disbanded in 1981, Horn and Downes recorded another demo of the song (this time as a two part suite) for possible inclusion on The Buggles' second album Adventures in Modern Recording (1981) but it was, yet again, left off the album. This version finally made its appearance on ZTT's 2010 reissue of Adventures in Modern Recording.This new Yes version will mark the first airing of a proper studio recording of the song. According to Squire, the title track will be the band's eleventh epic piece (their first in 15 years), clocking in at more than 20 minutes.Squire has also said the album will contain four other songs. The songs average 5 to 6 minutes each, and are newly written, primarily by Horn/Howe/Squire with contributions from other band members. While it was confirmed that Downes' keyboard role covers a majority of the album and its epic title track, it's uncertain as to whether or not Oliver Wakeman's contribution will remain on the final version of the album.
The cover is being designed by artist Roger Dean, who has created many album covers for the band.
