Yes - Drama

180-gram LP 2016 reissue

Mastered from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio

The year 1980 was an interesting one for the legendary prog-rockers Yes. While the Close To The Edge lineup was taking a break for a few years, founding member Chris Squire maintained the legendary status of the band along with longtime bandmates Steve Howe and Alan White, with new members Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes and created the hard-rocking masterpiece Drama.

A bit of a departure from the more classically oriented feel of previous efforts, this album slammed all the way to the top of the rock charts. From the kick off track "Machine Messiah," Yes was a new entity with a lot of guts, flair for delivering a hit album and a darling of a new video medium thanks to the support of outlets like MTV.
