Yesbook è da sempre il nostro diario di bordo, il “social network” di casa Tempus Fugit: qui è possibile comunicare e confrontarsi liberamente sulla band che amiamo è più in generale sulla musica. La netiquette (educazione) è l’unico requisito richiesto per farne parte. fausse rolex

il bello di album come h&h è che più li ascolti, più ti piacciono quelli dei '70!

Ah, il mistero del "caveau" di Mauryes esiste! Spero che l'ascolto del CD sia migliore di quello delle tracce trovate in rete tempo fa.

In the Jul 2014 MusicRadar interview, Howe was asked whether "your motivation for making albums [is] the same as [...] in the '70s?" He replied:
The whole landscape has changed. If everybody who ripped off our album were prepared to give us two months' work of their lives for free, then maybe it would be a very well-balanced situation. [...] They’re taking more than two months – but let’s just whittle it down to two months’ studio work [...] So the reason why we do this has changed a lot. Some people in this band might say that the reason why we do it is because we’re musicians and we’re supposed to make new music. But that’s a bit blind. That’s a little like a mouse saying, ‘I’ll walk across this road even though there’s a cat on the other side.’ [Laughs]
[...] It took me a long time to decide that I would agree to do [Heaven & Earth]. [...] The Rolling Stones, The Who, Aerosmith [...] they make records and they don’t even chart! [...] some of the biggest bands in the world. Yes needs to learn this. [...] [It] is a very, very different scene, and it’s [...] mostly due [...] to the internet. People got the needle about labels making money, but they have to because they have to print, distribute and promote the record, and give us a lousy percentage. Yeah, I could moan about that.
But now we’ve got the situation where people take the music for free [...] it does hurt. It does grieve me that our rights and our copyrights are abused all the time. And yet, we’re stupid enough to go and make another record, which immediately is put on the internet by somebody.
[...]
So the inspiration is quite different. I make time, I make my Homebrew series, I’ve done records with Asia – I do things for quite a few different reasons. But when it comes to a high-profile group like Yes… It’s a very complicated question you ask me. Let’s move on. Don’t comment, just move on.

In the Jul 2014 interview with MusicRadar, when the interviewer said they would not call the album 'prog rock' (save for "Subway Walls"), Howe replied:
[...] I guess so. But [...] when somebody at Mercedes-Benz goes to work, they don’t ask themselves if they’re an Audi or a Volkswagen. They know they’re a Mercedes-Benz. When Yes goes to work, we don’t ask ourselves if we’re another band. We’re Yes. But that’s a pretty broad stroke.
[...] when you look at Open Yours Eyes or other albums [...] we deviate from being just another straight-ahead, thoroughbred prog band. [...] remember that we took nothing but criticism [...] for being a prog band [...] you can’t blame us for sometimes wanting to edge away from it. But we don’t do that because we want to; we do that because of the material we’ve got.
It was the same with Fly From Here: [...] we didn’t say, ‘Oh, we’re not gonna make this record ‘cause it’s not prog.’ Or ‘We’re not gonna make this record ‘cause it’s too prog.’ Therefore, we would have upset everybody who thinks we’re indulgent, technical show-offs. We were never that. [...] through the ‘70s, all we were was an honest band that did what we did. And that’s all Heaven & Earth is.
We can’t change our mold. On this record, we’ve just got those songs. Some of them were a little bit dangerously close to being accessible, but some of them might not be dangerously close to being accessible. We don’t have a mold. I mean, I love the Keys To Ascension and I love the ‘70s, but we’re not always there. We just have to accept that, and so does our audience.
In some ways, some people in our band might be trying to appease people and give them something accessible. [...] I can say that we are more accessible – as writers, that’s what comes to us. I don’t disagree [...] about Subway Walls. It’s a profoundly good arrangement; we really developed a lot of ideas. I think it shows what weight Jon Davison has brought to us. He collaborated on the music with [Geo]ff as much as I did with him on Believe Again.
It’s a real mixed bag of writing, and it isn’t all the same, thank goodness. Some of it does lean a bit to close to ‘la la la-la-la,’ but that’s what we are..
