“From the perseverance point of view, this is the most difficult album I’ve ever done.”

The difficulty in making this album can not be attributed to one but many reasons. Consider that it was recorded in seven studios in three countries, that four producers shaped the project, that 14 engineers were involved in the recording . . . . most of all consider that it came down to the the band working together from scratch for the very first time. With the tremendous success of the 90125 tour the band was collaborating anew and discovering there were more problems on a personal level than a musical level. Despite the lack of vision as a band the album did have a number of gems: Shoot High, Big Generator, and Rhythm of Love are songs Trevor is particularly proud of. "There are actually different meanings to the phrase Big Generator which is the way I like it. For me, the song takes a cynical look at the record industry - - it's a comment on how it works, the fickleness and the megatrends." To support the album Yes went on the road for six months playing to over 1.5 million Yes fans. By the end of the Big Generator tour both musical ideals and personal conflicts were still apparent.
