Yes-Talk (1994)

Yes's fourteenth album featured the same lineup that had recorded "90125" and "Big Generator", both released in the mid-1980s. This lineup consisted of Jon Anderson (vocals), Trevor Rabin (guitars, keyboards, vocals), Alan White (drums), Chris Squire (bass), and Tony Kaye (Hammond organ). Due to pressure from Atlantic Records' subsidiary, Victory Records, guitarist Trevor Rabin took on the responsibility for production and almost all of the songwriting for this new recording. He also handled much of the keyboard work, programming, and the use of the most advanced recording technology of the time. Rabin, in collaboration with Anderson, crafted an album full of catchy, AOR-influenced songs with accessible progressive elements, giving the final result the true essence of the classic Yes sound. Classic rock, steeped in great keyboard and guitar interplay, is present in songs like "The Calling", "Real Love", "State Of Play" or "Walls", while instrumental complexities appear in the epic "Endless Dream", undoubtedly the most progressive track since the "Drama" album era (1980), or in the brilliant "Where Will You Be".
