Yes: Cinematic 1982 (Unreleased Album, Rare Tracks)

After Yes disbanded in 1981 following the Drama tour, bassist Chris Squire and drummer Alan White formed a new group with singer-songwriter/guitarist Trevor Rabin and former Yes keyboardist Tony Kaye. This new group was known as "Cinema." Demos were recorded and a debut album began to take shape...

That album was never completed.

As the album was being mixed, Jon Anderson returned to helm the vocals and the band name "Cinema" was jettisoned. Yes had returned!

But what would that album have sounded like without Jon Anderson? Through the years, bits and pieces of the Cinema-era songs have surfaced.

This video represents a "best guess," using the songs that were either completely recorded or contained elements and riffs that would later result in the official 90125 release.

Some of these songs are complete, others a bit rough, but you will get the picture...
