| - Fly from Here is the twentieth studio album from Yes. Their first studio album since Magnification (2001), it is also the only one to feature Canadian singer Benoît David, and only the second (after 1980's Drama) without former singer Jon Anderson. The lineup is David, bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Steve Howe, drummer Alan White and keyboardist Geoff Downes. The album was produced by Trevor Horn, who was the singer on Drama, and who had previously produced 90125 (1983) and co-produced Big Generator (1987). The album takes its name from its main track, "Fly from Here", a 25-minute song split up into six parts. The basis of the song was a demo originally recorded by Downes and Horn of The Buggles before they joined Yes in 1980. After Yes disbanded in 1981, Horn and Downes recorded a second demo, and both recordings became the foundation of the tracks "We Can Fly" and "Sad Night at the Airfield". Fly from Here was first released on 22 June 2011 in Japan and France, followed by releases on 1 July in the rest of Europe and Australia and on 12 July in the United States. It peaked at number 30 on the UK Albums Chart, and number 36 on the US Billboard200.
