page 4 Going On Ten Beginning its tenth year as a group, Yes has set a new standard for itself with the tenth Yes album, "Going For The One." Each of the album's five songs reflects all the originality and positive spirit that gave birth to the Yes music of the past, fused with a new sensitivity that has inspired higher levels of communication through music. Yes is not the same five people that it was in its nascent stage, but personnel changes have never been detrimental to the group's development. The concept that was born when Jon Anderson and Chris Squire began working together has always been something greater than the five musicians who form Yes. However, this has not prevented each member of Yes from striving to attain the highest technical and expressive standards in musicianship. Without ever moving in overtly "commercial" directions, Yes has continued to win more and more devoted admirers. The acclaim afforded to "Going For The One" only further proves that the constant pursuit of excellence is appreciated by massive numbers of music lovers. Undaunted after nearly a decade, Yes represents a breadth of creative expression that will ultimatey determine rock and roll's place In the history of music.
