@MrSluggo666 You're not a very nice person, Mr. Sluggo. I suggest you go out and see the beautiful sun! Perhaps it will lighten your mood..and Oh, I'm Geoffrey now?! FUCK YES. <3333
@MJTCCZL "nice" is for those that don't have the strength of their convictions !!! gee geoffery, do you get a home permanent for your grannie do? or is it a professional job ?
@MJTCCZL, gorgeous? Really? I guess your perception of gorgeous and mine greatly differ. To me Geoff Downes looks ridiculous, but I think most musicians from this era look like gigantic douche bags so that's me.
@MrSluggo666 Replying on alt account, since I can't access my original =P
Little listening experience, huh? My favorite albums are Relayer and Close To The Edge, with "Sound Chaser" being my favorite song. I much preferred their Yes Album-through-Going For The One period. Are they the same with Jon and Rick replaced by the Buggles? No, of course they aren't, as no one could replace them, but I still find this album enjoyable, and I believe it's worth a listen.
@marterllll Uff,contrarily...they replaced them with compositions like this,YES had to perform evolutions acording with that age,the 80's,this song is powerfull and,acording with the band's stile:ingenious,so like YES,without to be too large(and i like almost any YES's song,i'm a big fan!),about later..in anothers years,after 1983,so so,it's another story,..really,i didn't hear them for many time after that(91125)cause other reason,but now i'm in that,recovering time about.
I love this song and saw the group live when Trevor performed in Yes in 80. Even my 4 year old sang the song. He sounds a bit like Jon Anderson. He and Geoff Downes in the Buggles performed the first video on MTV....Video killed the radio star...the group was great nevertheless. It would be great if Jon reunited with Yes today...now he sings with Rick Wakeman and Steve Howe.
Awesome playing, very intricate but powerful too- far better than anything on Tormato (except possibly On the Silent Wings of Freedom). Check out the new album "Fly from Here", which takes up where Drama left off...

One of the Best rock song in history, that beautiful stetic sound ,which all that power at the same time, really a " Masterpiece ", I dont remenber a song so perfect , from the begining to the end......more than amazing..!!
Utter Guff! A Brain Fart that occurred after the collapse of a once super group. Yes Without Chris Squire, Jon Anderson, Rick Wakeman (or Pat Moraz) and Biill Bruford.... Steve Howe lost in a pool of Shit... Tales from Topographic was murdered by the critics in its day - Best Album! Relayer after that, then the likes of yes, Fragile, CLose to the Edge and the Yes album. Going for the Gun was the death knoll!
@viddymeenow Yeah, it's embarrassing to hear most of todays music where it's all about cars/girls/drugs/alcohol. It somehow reflects what a twisted society we live in.
Haven't heard this for a long time. Now that "Fly From Here" is out, I can see the similarity in style of "Into the Lens" to that title track, and why it was left off this album back then - would've been redundant. Like FFH, but to a greater degree, without Howe's guitars, this song doesn't have much. Take out the Telecaster, Pedal Steel, and Electric Sitar, and all you have is Downes on a Vocoder.
I recognise these lyrics and tunes from the Buggles...is this a Yes reunion playing Buggles tracks or are the Buggles tracks (like I am Camera) rescored versions? never heard these ones before.
@Phavonic The Buggles version you are referring to is "I Am A Camera" from Adventures in Modern Recording? If so this is earlier version of that song. This was recorded in 1980, written by Horn and Downes with input from Squire, Howe and White. Yes went on hiatus in 1981. The same year Adventures was recorded and a new version of Into the Lens was recorded by just Horn and Downes and retitled "I Am A Camera."
Great harmonies between Trevor & Chris. Definitely an underrated Yes song. Hope it gets more attention now that Trevor & Geoff are working with Yes again.
Just unbelievable how 'Video Clips' looked back in the beginning of the 80's. I remotely recall it wasn't that unusuall to setup something as poor as this this as the song's video in those pre-MTV days.
very nice to see Yes with different vocals, such great new energy to the band! A pitty this is the same guy who led the band to the shamefull Pop phase. It may be a preconception of mine, but still a feeling :/
@ninja1dalbem No way. Trevor Horn is a genious of a producer. He helped 90125 to have an exceptional sound. If Yes became POP in the 80s it wasn't Horn's fault. Maybe you could blame it on Trevor Rabin POP-ROCK oriented compositions. But in fact, all band agreed to change their sound. The 80s brought a new sound and if you wanted to be visible in the media, a change was needed. Everyone changed by then: Genesis, King Crimson, Peter Hammill, Floyd. I love prog, but have nothing against pop.
@RINLEW totally a gree with you,i don't undestand why people complais that much about how theses bands changed at that time,for me it is onlly good music, everything has its own advantages,why some people can't just sit down and enjoy?
Geoff really seems to be Jon, if you dont really know about Yes albums, Steve Howe as usual! but I really admire Chris Squire, if you remeber a better bassman please let me know.
Respond to this video... Trevor sings, Geoff is on keyboards. But I agree, Trevor uses minimalist vocals to perfectly counterpoint the riffs of Steve and Chris, while Geoff does an utterly competent and inspired keyboards. Excellent. Alan...well, Alan is an enigma, the secret weapon of Yes...
this is one of my all time favorite Yes songs. I loved the Drama experiment, and I'm so glad that they are playing some of the songs in concert again. Thanks for posting!!
I loved the "Buggles Yes". Saw this tour front row at the LA Sports Arena in 1980. Blew my fricken mind how amazingly Trevor Horn sung the old yes songs.
i saw it as another chapter in a story but a lot of people in the UK were really nasty about this lin-up. Horn tells of one gig where they were performing 'And You And I' and, during one of the silences, someone in the audience shoulted 'Fuck off!' at him.
@psychobollox That's really a shame although I'm not surprised. I remember my brother and I being really ticked when we first heard who was replacing Jon and Rick. However all was fine when we heard Drama. Thought it was really fresh and that Horne was as good a replacement vocally as you could get. Oh well, since they were thought of as "new wave" I'm sure they never got a fair shake. It was a pretty closed minded "factioned" environment back then. Kids are more open minded today.
Absolutely a shame. I have a few Yes albums and I have to say that - by Tormato - they're really gone off the boil as they were, and the album after that was Drama, which was actually very fresh, like you say.
And yes, it was very 'factioned' back then ... much less so now. Gotta hand it to the kids on that one.
