This week Mark and I got our hands on 1000 hands – or at least our virtual hands as we received a review download copy. So we have pooled our initial reactions to the music and that’s coming up in a moment.
Also, we have a 2 pence on the Anderson final Yes project rumours so it’s an Anderson rich episode.
Listen and let us know what you think!
- How does Anderson fit 1000 hands on one album?
- Can you hear the special guests?
- Does the collaboration between Anderson and Howe point towards Union II?

This week Mark and I have been listening to the first Yes album to link in with it being released on coloured vinyl for this year’s Record Store Day 50 years after first appearing. We also consider what we would release for Record Store Day if it was up to us.
Listen and let us know what you think!
- How does the first album sound after 50 years?
- What can we detect which foreshadows later developments?
- Do we like it?

This week, Geoff Bailie pointed out to me another gaping hole in my knowledge of Yes and the surrounding music. It’s Jon Anderson’s EP or single, depending on your viewpoint, Open from 2011.
Listen and let us know what you think!
- What was ‘Open’
- How did I miss the release?
- What’s the music like?

Listen and let us know what you think!
- What other songs might be more emblematic?
- Can we sum up Yes music in just one song?
- What does Awaken sum up?

It’s half term this week so I’m spending time with the family and supporting my mum with preparations for my dad’s funeral on Monday. Mark and I will be back next week.
Many thanks,
