different kind enjoyed
I have always enjoyed different kinds of music.
along love others playing
Everyone is really getting along with each other and we enjoy each others company and love playing live.
american-musician bit label likely major picked smash
It's an album that is a little bit different and probably isn't easy to get out. It's not likely that a major label would have picked it up and said that they had a smash hit record.
both
I know that if I went to other studios, like in Vancouver, that those are set up to be as professional and as true, so it's just a different flavour, it's a different sound, but I think both have their place.
american-musician yes
I'm very proud of it as a Yes record amongst many of the other Yes records.
songs wrote
I wrote songs with the guys from Air Supply for their record... So I was just writing songs.
mind
I wasn't really writing with anything commercial in mind I just wanted to create some new music.
climate functional
I think that the climate within the band has changed, it's now in a more functional situation.
american-musician areas
And as you said, everyone contributed; certain areas of material came from certain individuals.
american-musician people
So that studio served its purpose, and still is working very well for other people right now.
built shut
And I found that when I built my own place and just shut the door, the creativity was endless.
american-musician
So in one sense you don't have the classic keyboard player in Yes.
sometimes groove studios
Sometimes I hear a drum groove in my head and I rush down to my studio.
father leader musical
I grew up in a very musical family, my father was a musician and a big band leader and made records.
