I'm ashamed I didn't recognise this. I feel I must dig up my Bon Jovi CDs now to make up for it :D

Gosh - I haven't listened to Yes for, um, centuries. I had a boyfriend at university who introduced me to them, but I have since lost all the tapes I made of his records. :-(

The two tracks there are from "Tormato" and "Keystudio," the latter a relatively recent album (2002 or 3 I believe).

I'm really narked I missed the line from 'release release' as that's one of yes' tracks that regularly gets stuck in my head. Not got a copy of Keystudio yet. Noted for next trip to HMV (this weeks one resulted in copies of Live At Leeds (deluxe edition), Demons And Wizards and The Magicians Birthday)
