YES - Tempus Fugit - International Prog Collab

It's finally here! Tempus Fugit from the DRAMA album with Humans playing all the parts! This all got underway about one year ago after Richie (keyboards) saw the first Tempus Fugit vid my brother Dave and I did playing along with the original track. Richie suggested we do a collab with Tim on vocals - probably the best Jon Anderson voice out there right now. We thought it would be neat to have this tune with a Jon Anderson-like voice instead of the Trevor Horn voice which is on the album. With C on guitar and Richie on keys to round it out it was a "no-brainer". I created a completely new drum track for this one that in my opinion is 100% better than the previous TF vid in terms of recording quality. We are using Dave's original bass track from the previous TF vid. Kudos to Richie for all the audio and video production. Richie took RAW tracks and added all the effects for the drums, guitars etc. AFTERWARDS.....everything!!!! Very Cool!
Even though Richie thinks he's a rookie at the video production this is just outstanding in terms of creativity. Thanks to everyone - Richie, Tim, and C for including Dave and I in this project. You are all outstanding musicians and just great to collab with all around! I truly hope we get to meet in person someday.
By the way: Happy 83rd Birthday to My Dad!!
As usual - along with YouTube's lousy and user UN-friendly new layouts they still don't have there act together with audio and video synchronization. The raw file for this vid is perfectly in sync - but you never know if you will get a synchronized view on YT even in Hi Def 720 mode. You would think that these computer "geniuses" would have figured it out by now. Sigh......

Very good. And hasn't Mike Rutherford aged well.

[ttomsdw]

@erithacusnacnud LOL! Another Mike Rutherford reference - it is uncanny isn't it? :))

WOW! Totally brilliant! You were absolutely right, that must be the best singer you could have ever got instead of Jon Anderson. Great work! Keep it up! Love /E

[freetruckin]

You might like to know that Jon A's brother sings and plays with a band I'm in...and he too sounds at times uncannily like Jon.

Great production by the way.Most enjoyable.

[TheIOURI]

Очень порадовали..Спасибо! Буду ждать следующих Ваших творческих изысканий.Браво!

[thisNewFoundLand]

Yes! Yes!

[halkzorx]

This has got to be the closest one may hope to get to the real thing by far!

I take off my hat and make a deep bow for you guys......respect!

[Dan441734]

Great work, OUTSTANDING!!

[cdag02]

Well done! Nice presentation of one of the best bands.

[timrs2001]

Wow. Awesome work chaps. Great sound and I love the video effects.

Next time you're doing one let me know and I'll get my twin boys to do the drum and keyboard parts for you to give Tom and Richie a rest. :D

[TheDeev]

Excellent job! Playing Yes requires excellent musicianship- you have it here in droves, and, yes, Tim sounds uncannily like Jon Anderson, but he also adds some of his own style to the mix. Bravo! Please do much more!

[raccoonpoet]

I love it -- Great sound, great song, greatest of bands! Nice video too!

About the Steve Martin hairstyle, can you loosen it up? grow it?........just sayin'

[mike28890]

a note to hminkema - i would hope this singer sings the shit out of geoff downes because that's not very hard to do as geoff downes is the keyboardist currently touring with yes. i believe you meant to refer to trevor horn, who not only is just a vocalist, he's also a very well known and respected producer who still works with yes to this day.

[apollonas70]

Excellent cover and job !
