New mixes are available on Blu-ray
Yes has released a new version of their latest album, Mirror to the Sky, released in May 2023 via InsideOutMusic/Sony Music. Steve Howe, Geoff Downes, Jon Davison, Billy Sherwood and Jay Schellen have announced a limited 2 CD/Blu-ray edition with Dolby Atmos, 5.1 Surround Sound, and Instrumental Mixes of the album that will be available on April 5th.
To coincide with the announcement, the band has released a video for an edited version of the epic title track.
The prog rock pioneers are also set to embark on The Classic Tales of Yes Tour 2024 which will include many iconic tracks from the Yes back-catalog covering 50-plus years. The tour will also include a celebration of the 50th anniversary of Tales from Topographic Oceans as well as music from their current album.
“We’re all excited to be bringing our show home to Europe and the UK!” says Howe, “We’ve selected a new playlist of Yes music but with some firm favorites in there too, of course! To keep our performances fresh, we ‘now’ carry our own lights, so we can present a consistent show each night, designed for us by William Succuso …….. Looking forward to seeing you out there!”
The original version of Mirror To The Sky features four tracks clocking in at over eight minutes, with the sweeping and cinematic title track coming in just shy of 14 minutes. What’s more, the tracks, like Yes’ best, take the listener on a wide dynamically ranging journey of soundscapes which also showcase Howe’s dazzling guitars, keyboard wizard Downes’ impeccable sounds, exquisite melodies and fills, Davison’s angelic, crystalline vocals, Sherwood’s deftly dancing bass and Schellen’s masterfully controlled explosions, on drums.
