I've had the luxury of owning my own studio, 24 analogue, 48 digital, endless effects, endless hardcore gear, that I don't have to rent, I don't get stuck with the bills, it's all mine.
causes band singers
Yes was without a singer at that point, cause they were doing ABWH, so you had ABWH, and then you had the 90125 band without a singer.
ideas labels musician
You know, I am just a musician and I have no idea these days what good and bad is in terms of labels.

And when I heard Yes, U.K. and Gentle Giant it was something that really got me interested. And those influences has stayed with me.

I was so influenced by Yes then that things started to sound very much like Yes.
