'Supergroup' style act formed by YES members as a spin off from the current act. Initially titled YES, the band lost a court battle over rights to use the name YES and subsequently adopted the rather unwieldy moniker of ANDERSON BRUFORD WAKEMAN HOWE.

Guitarist STEVE HOWE had since leaving YES been part of the spectacular AOR success story ASIA and also the equally illustrious if short lived GTR. In Bruford's posy YES career he had forged a formidable reputation with KING CRIMSON.

JON ANDERSON had quit YES for a second time after their 1987 / '88 world tour. Uniting in Montserrat for a planned recordings with the singer Bruford was apparantly quite taken aback that RICK WAKEMAN and Howe were also in attendance. KING CRIMSON bassist Tony Levin was enlisted for the album sessions.

The band had been conceived in an attempt to revive the original spirit of the 70s era YES but the then present day members TREVOR RABIN, Tony Kaye, Alan White and Chris Squire filed a lawsuit against the quartet forbidding any mention of the term 'YES'. There was even an attempt to prevent Anderson ever mentioning he had been a member of YES!

A world tour was billed as 'An Evening Of Yes Music' as the album reached gold status in America. On these two hour shows each musician performed a fifteen minute solo spot and the set was punctuated with a twenty minute interval. The shows featured new versions of ANDERSON BRUFORD WAKEMAN HOWE songs as well as classic YES highlights.

Indeed, the album sounded more like YES than the 'Big Generator' album that the then incarnation of the legendary group was offering at the time.

After the tour the band reconvened in France to lay down a projected second album. The record company had other ideas though and forced a YES reunion with the end results being the 'Union' record. Whilst Bruford wound up back in the rejuvenated KING CRIMSON, Anderson, Howe and Wakeman all re-joined YES.

JON ANDERSON, STEVE HOWE and RICK WAKEMAN all still pursue solo endeavours.
