Sad and Scary Yes Related Thought

There was also a four year gap between Big Generator and 1991's Union, but ABWH came out in 1989 and I count that.

But Magnification came out in 2001 and it's 2006 with no signs of Yes going to the studio anytime soon. Could it be... over?



1969 Yes
1970 Time and a Word
1971 The Yes Album
1972 Fragile
1972 Close to the Edge
1974 Tales from Topographic Oceans
1974 Relayer
1977 Going for the One
1978 Tormato1980 Drama
1983 90125
1987 Big Generator
1989 ABWH
1991 Union
1994 Talk
1996 Keys to Ascension
1997 Keys to Ascension, Vol. 2
1997 Open Your Eyes
1999 The Ladder
2001 Magnification

Some may say that there's a gap in the 80's lol...

So?

I don't see that that's something that will stop them recording. I have faith that Yes will record again but if they don't then just taking a look at, and listening to, the output from these guys makes me so happy to have been around while they were doing this work.
