From what I recall the idea of recruiting Horn and Downes was light hearted but Squire took seriously.I’ve heard The Ladder. My brother got it. I just explored other stuff since the mid 80’s. Yes were of their time, with me. I was obsessed by them from the seventies on, but The Buggles threw me completely. Never really recovered from that.
Looking back at it now Yes had hit a brick wall creatively. Anderson was firmly in trench with the fairies at the bottom of the garden and Wakeman was his best friend.
I didn’t mind Drama or 90125 but the long awaited follow up to the latter was poor.
We then had Talk which contained three brilliant tracks but was so compressed in its production.
The Ladder for me contained Yes last two classical tracks in Homeworld and Nine Voices.
Since then the occasional chink of light with To the Moment and Into the Storm
