I can think of a lot of reasons for losing interest in Nightwish. Kid A/Amnesiac are amazing though. Enjoy your new Yes clones!

if you're serching for YES-clones and YES-likes, than it's NEKTAR.
that's if we talking about general approach to music, compositiong and so on, not of stage decorations or voice tembre.
 
check out 'Remember the Future' and 'A Tab in The Ocean'. 'Journey to the Center of an Eye' reported to be as good, but I never heard it, for shame. These two (three?) are the closest to YES that I ever heard. no virtuosity, but writing and co-playing is top-notch.
yes, I know, my English is far from perfect. I comfortable with it.

OK,first of all,I ain't a YES-fan - I adore GENESIS,and I'm interested in GENESIS CLONES(have found dozens of them ).But I've found some YES-related bands ,which impressed me more than the Original One!!!

MAGENTA "Seven" - !!!!!!
AD INFINITUM "Ad Infinitum" - !!!!!!
EPISODE "Into the Epicenter"/"Starlight Tales"
TAI PHONG "Tai Phong"/"Windows"
DRUID "Towrad the Sun"/"Fluid Druid"
GLASS HAMMER "Shadowlands"
K2 "The Book of the Dead"

and yeah,you can always hear a lot of YES in ATOLL,GROBSCHNITT,YEZDA URFA,FLOWER KINGS,SPOCK'S BEARD etc


btw,just listened to MINDGAMES' last album - very much YES-influenced,but great after all!!!

Thank you. You guys are incredible. Do you have any idea of how many years it would have taken me to find out about all these by myself? Thanx again!Hug

Starcastle.There may be some purists choking when they are mentioned.But they are really good.Shortish(when compared to Yes) songs, but very tight.

The Argentinian band Espiritu's album "Libre Y Natural" may have what you're looking for.

The vocalist has a tone similar to Anderson's, but slightly nasal, and the lyrics are in Spanish.

The track "La Fabrica Del Suenos" definitely has a Yes-like sound to it!

Listening to Yes led me to listen to the groups that influenced them (and vocal harmony groups) like the Beatles, Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, Four Preps, Fleetwood Mac, Byrds and Fifth Dimension. If you are open minded it's worth a try.
 
P.S. also David Crosby's early solo material, the Hollies too.
