Dave Watkinson in RAK studios with Alan's kit and Jeremy North's wonderful Tourmato photos from Wembley, 1978:

This week Mark and I spoke to Chris Kimball about a 70s oddity in the Yes instrumental arsenal - Alan White's North drums. After restoring, playing and recording with these strange objects, Chris is ideally placed to explain why they look so weird and why drummers like Alan White were interested in using them.

It's another engrossing story from a very knowledgeable musician and it's packed with detail so I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Why are North drums shaped like that?What were they made of?Why did they disappear?

Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

Some North Drums artifacts are available here -http://www.drumarchive.com/North/

I mention and highly recommend Gerard Bassols' book, The Musical Instruments of Progressive Rock which is available here in the UK and here in the US.

This week Mark and I have had a great time re-watching 3 videos from the Going For The One era. As you may know, there is an extensive behind-the-scenes film of what went on at Mountain Studios in Montreux in 1976 and I was wondering if the feel of that process was evident in the following tour. So Mark suggested the film of Glasgow on that tour and I added the mash-up of the title song which takes film footage from several different concerts and matches it to a good quality soundtrack.

All 3 videos are embedded below. You might want to watch them before listening to us discuss our reactions.

What was the mood like when Yes were recording Going For The One in Switzerland?Did the melodica trio end up on the album or not?Why did Rick Wakeman take his shoes and socks off in Glasgow and what did he do next?

As always, it was sheer delight to welcome Stephen Lambe and David Watkinson back onto the show this week to talk about their latest collaboration, YES in the 1980s.

It's a great book which goes into detail about the often tortuous journey of the band in the decade of excess. Solo albums and other groups closely associated with Yes are included in a volume which boasts 2 sets of full-colour photos as well as countless other illustrations, a lot of which are presented in printed format for the first time.

A must for all serious Yes fans (particularly the five per cent), the book is available now from Burning Shed at the link below.

Why write a book about the decade which could - or should - have killed off progressive rock?What hidden stories are uncovered?What untaken paths would the authors like to have see Yes take in the 80s?

Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

It was a great pleasure to welcome back to the show former Yes keyboard player and prolific solo artist, Oliver Wakeman.

We asked him about some of his latest releases including Dark Fables, Tales From Gaslight and his soundtrack to Yendor.

It was particularly interesting to hear recollections of working with original Yes guitarist Peter Banks and Oliver also shared some remarkable tales from his Yes days including what happened when he first joined the band in Canada, what Chris Squire said to him and something to do with sellotaping two keyboard pedals together...

Was Oliver's entry to the band smooth and straight-forward?What was Peter Banks like to work with?Why does Oliver keep coming back to epic structures and story-telling in his music?

Steve Howe by William Mulryne

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius

In this second part of our look at what Steve Howe did next, Mark and I listen to his solo album, Spectrum.

It includes contributions from Tony Levin, Dylan Howe, Virgil Howe and Oliver Wakeman and features many fabulous examples of Steve's virtuosity and versatility.

How does this rank among Steve's solo albums?What are the contributions of the 'guests' like?Is that 'Hour of Need'?

Steve Howe by William Mulryne

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius

In a break from our very well-received technical episodes, Mark and I return this week to the what did they do next series.

We are still in the so-called YES hiatus period of 2005-ish and we have just two band members yet to consider, the first being Steve Howe. SO we’ve taken a look around the various sources to see what Steve was up to at this point and one of the most useful was, perhaps unsurprisingly, his autobiography, All My Yesterdays.

So, what do you think we chose to talk about this week and listen to next week? You will need to be a bit of a hard-core Steve Howe fan to know the answer, I suppose, but keep listening and see if you are correct then take the opportunity to listen yourself this week and then see how our opinions differ from yours next week. Do let us know, of course.

What was Steve up to now?Who was he working with?What Yes connections can we discover?

Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

A small selection from my Tormato collection

I asked our friend Miguel Falcão to tell me a bit about how Chris Squire achieved such a remarkable bass sound for Tormato. Instead of sending me a few bullet points, Miguel was kind enough to record a complete audio description of the technical minutiae of the master's solution. Mark and I listen to this amazing in-depth piece and discuss a few of the points Miguel makes.

Many thanks to Miguel and if you haven't heard his staggeringly accurate Yes bass covers, then you are missing out a great deal. See the links below to remedy that immediately.

How did Chris Squire achieve 'that' sound for Tormato?What technology did he employ?Was the approach the same on every song on Tormato?

Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

This week:

It was a great pleasure to speak to another dedicated Yes fan this week and one who has had the privilege to be involved with the new album, The Quest. Paul K Joyce provided the orchestrations for a number of the songs on the record and worked closely with Steve Howe as producer.

Paul takes us through the story of how this all came about as well as his Yes story and some of the remarkable and unexpected turns his career has taken. Prepare yourself to hear about Tangerine Dream, Noddy, Bob the Builder, Time by Steve Howe and more in a delightful interview.

It’s another deeply hidden part of the Yesstory and one which Mark and I enjoyed finding out about enormously. I hope you also find it an interesting diversion.

What was Paul's million-selling single?How did a biology student end up composing orchestral arrangements for The Quest?Is Paul a Yes fan?

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius

This week we decided to go really deeply into the technical weeds of Yes and look at an instrument which appears on Tormato and not very many other places in the musical universe. We are joined by the remarkable Chris Dale who has devoted many years of his life to collecting and renovating this, rarest of all musical instruments, the Birotron. We discuss what Rick Wakeman had to do with this fascinating story, what the Birotron is and why it was never put into production despite 1000 musicians wanting to buy one.

It’s another deeply hidden part of the Yesstory and one which Mark and I enjoyed finding out about enormously. I hope you also find it an interesting diversion.

What is a Birotron?Where can you hear one?Why is it the rarest musical instrument in the world?

Mark and I had

The time is finally here for Mark and me to present our in-depth review of the new Yes studio album, The Quest. We are also delighted to be joined by Henry Potts, the man behind the essential Yes online source, http://www.bondegezou.co.uk/ which has been cataloguing the crazy world of Yes and its former members since 1998 - and we thought we were doing well with 10 years!

So listen out for that conversation.

 First of all, Mark and I give our impressions of The Quest, then there's a surprise contributor and finally a round-table with Henry.

What is The Quest like?Is it an instant classic?What is a Yes album with Anderson or Squire like?
