Legendary progressive rock band YES return with their 24th studio album 'Aurora'. When Yes first began sketching out ideas for what would become 'Aurora', the process was loose and exploratory. There was no preconceived concept at the start, just a collection of musical fragments that gradually began to find one another and take form. Among these early sketches was a piece titled "Aurora," and it quickly became clear that the name carried certain gravity. It suggested light, emergence, and a sense of vastness, qualities that resonated deeply with the band. <br/> <br/>As Steve Howe explains: "Making this record was joyful, a chance to play, explore and give everything to the music. It's always been about collaboration, somebody can write a song, but until everybody puts their contribution in it isn't really a Yes song. We're not trying to echo the past; we're carrying the spirit of Yes forward and turning it into something new".<br/> <br/>With their 24th studio album, Yes demonstrate not just longevity, but a sustained curiosity, a desire to keep exploring, keep refining and keep discovering their capacity to create.

NMB are releasing their much-anticipated fourth album, "Innocence & Danger". The band comprise Neal Morse, Mike Portnoy, Randy George, Bill Hubauer & Eric Gillette. <br/>With NMB's previous two releases being concept albums, it's perhaps remarkable that "Innocence & Danger" is a series of unrelated songs, but drummer Mike Portnoy says "After two sprawling back to back double concept albums in a row, it was refreshing to get back to writing a collection of unrelated individual songs in the vein of our first album." Six years on from "The Grand Experiment", Morse is more enthusiastic than ever about the talents and contribution of his fellow band members on "Innocence & Danger": "The band is really so extraordinary - and is such an amazing team: Mike's drums are huge, Randy's bass playing is an ever-solid foundation and Eric's vocals are becoming crazy good now: often I'll sing the verse, Eric sings the chorus, Bill sings the bridge and Eric will bring it home. It seems to work really, really well. And both Bill and Eric's soloing is amazing: they have really hit it out of the park on this record." Available on Ltd 2CD+DVD Digipak (feat.
