Steve Howe and Chris Squire sit in a glass-walled room high about New York’s Times Square, looking down on the spire that is home in the infamous New Year’s Eve hall. It is a fitting place to talk about the once and future Yes as the band contemplates 1997 in the wake of the release of Keys to Ascension. It is also a bit disconcerting to have them in the same room: Squire and Howe have not recorded together since Drama, which was released more than 15 years ago.
