The first words that Bruce Fairbairn said to the band were, "Make the best YES album you can, the rest will follow."  It was sipmle as that.
We believed he helped us all realize how improtant YES music is; he was a kindred spirit, a teacher, a great producer and a pleasure to be with.
We all thank you Bruce, and miss you.
We dedicate this album to you...
