In 1997 Rick Wakeman again had left the band and was replaced by Billy Sherwood. YES was planning a tour and decided to record a new album to promote while they were on the road. Chris Squire and Billy Sherwood had been working on a project together. Jon Anderson became interested and the music became a full-fledged YES project. The result was "Open Your Eyes", one of the best, and perhaps the most sophisticated of the YES albums - a selection of catchy tunes and interesting themes.  It is a quite enjoyable set of songs with the classic yes style and a modern sound. A bridge between the progressive times of "Closer to the Edge" and the modern tracks of "90 125". In every case "Open Your Eyes" became a typical YES album. Now on vinyl for the very first time! A world premiere
