Happy birthday to "Yes" which was released ten years ago today. Produced by Xenomania, it was preceded by the Top 20 hit, “Love etc”. As Chris remarks in the booklet of the Further Listening reissue, “We wanted the whole album to be colourful, pop. The opposite of Fundamental which was a very dark piece.” And Neil comments, “It was a beginning of a new phase really.” Buy / stream "Yes": https://lnk.to/YesMP
