If you are referring to what I said all I can say is I doubt he would give away "trade secrets." It's part of the mystique. Do you think magicians will tell you how they do their magic tricks if you ask them too?

If you asked Roger about it his response would probably be something like "you never know."

hah...  man I've done many things in my life. Seen and done great things.. very bad things... but that is one on my bucket list sadly I'll likely never get.

"I remember Jon and I spent a long time talking about ideas for the sleeve when we were flying from London to Tokyo via Alaska, and we were just inspired when looking at the patterns in the landscapes below.”

stuck in a airplane seat next to Jon Anderson for 12 hours talking about... whatever was going through Jon's mind at the moment?


Priceless.... LOL

Another similar allusion is the gryphon from Gryphon's eponymous debut album showing up in the background of Red Queen to Gryphon Three.

I agree. I think the stones line up too closely for it to be a coincidence.

Other example of references between Yes albums include: Steve Howe quoting Close to the Edge in TFTO's Ritual, Relayer's title is a reference to TFTO's The Remembering, Jon Anderson basing the concept of his solo album Olias of Sunhillow on Roger Dean's cover art of a planet breaking up for Fragile.

Now that I've lured you with the clickbait title, prepare to be underwhelmed.

I was reading about Roger Dean's inspiration for the cover of Tales from Topographic Oceans, since I used the TFTO cover in the Cover Chain Games. I learned that all the rock formations on the cover exist in real life.

But what struck me as remarkable is the solitary comment at the end of the interview, which had a link to the following picture:



See it? The rock formation on the right side of TFTO's cover matches the rock formation on the left side of Relayer's back cover.
