Trevor Horn is a great producer, but only a producer. I believe it was Chris Squire along with Trevor Rabin that really had a hand at writing the musical changes of the songs when Yes was in the studio.
Might have created the song, but it sounds like a Miami Vice background track without the vocals of Jon Anderson. Sorry, Trevor, the sum is indeed greater than its parts.
You do realize that this was the demo tha Trevor brought to the 90125 sessions. It was not recorded at a world class studio with a world class producer like Trevor Horn either. It is a DEMO, and by releasing these demos, Trevor is letting Yes fans see how much the songs changed by the time the Trevor Horn produced tracks were mixed.
Put Rabin with Trevor Horn in a world class studio, and you would hear a much more polished and professional performance and recording.
@stevezane Wrong-Yes didn't even exist at this point.Yes split up at the end of the Drama tour.Steve went on to Asia with Geoff Downes, and first Chris and Alan played with Jimmy Page in XYZ,which didn't get past rehearsals and some demo's.They then ,or maybe before, they recorded Run With The Fox as a duo.
@stevezane They sought out people to play with and at the same time Trevor had come to America looking for a record deal.They were paired up by someone in the industry, and at first only added Tony Kaye on keys, and were calling themselves Cinema with trevor and Chris doing lead vocals.When Jon heard the music, and then rejoined, the name was changed to Yes.
@stevezane Square persuaded the record company to basically obligate Trevor to give up sole creative rights of those demos so YES could add minimum contributions and be called a YES album wh3n it really wasn't.
@digitaliesan John Anderson live and in the studio only sang lead on the short 3rd verse. Trevor sang lead on almost the whole song plus he wrote the song. This is only a demo and Trevor revitalized Yes and wrote most of 90125 their best selling album. He's a major talent and Yes were very lucky to have him.
So, the only problem was the gay chorus, and Jon made it awesome by de-personalizing the lyrics there. And Alan and Chris made it Epic!

It sounds like Alan White came up with the intro/outro on vibes, just based on this demo.

So I guess the most excellent intro added later in the 90124 album, was Squire's idea.

@neechee5150 It was going to be Trevor Rabin's album and then Yes came to him.
