New album :
Yes's still untitled, new album has been largely recorded. The album uses an orchestra (and the band will be playing with orchestras on tour too—see below). The orchestral arranging and conducting duties fell to Larry Groupé, who describes himself as a "temporary mascot member". He will also be conducting local orchestras on tour. The initial recording sessions with the four band members ran until about Apr at Sound Design in Santa Barbara, Calif. The orchestra was recorded in May at Todd-AO Scoring Stage in the CBS Studio Centre, Studio City. Final overdubs and post-production are taking place at a house in Bel Air. The album has been tracked and mixed on Pro Tools. A report (scroll down to Digi Boy) from an engineer on the project said the album would be out around the end of Jun, although the German newspaper Hamburger Morgenpost reported (on 3 May) that it will be released in Sep.
The album consists of a single long piece divided into either 10 or 12 tracks (reports are contradictory). Writing for the album began over a year ago. Last Jul, Anderson said: "It's going to be wild and wonderful and wacky - a sort of 'Tales from Topographic Oceans Revisited'." In an interview, Howe was asked whether the "thematic and longer format" of the Masterworks tour is going to continue on the new album—he replied: "We hope that by doing this, we learn to understand [...] that we need bigness to find the dynamics. We've got to have lots of dynamics." There are reports that Anderson has said the epic piece was inspired by Stravinsky.
