Begun as Cinema, a new band by Squire and White, the project grew to include theslick production of Trevor Horn, the new blood (and distinctly '80s guitar sound) of Trevor Rabin, and eventually the trademark vocals of returning founder Jon Anderson. His late entry insured that Rabin and Horn had a heavy influence on the sound. The album also marked the return of prodigal keyboardist Tony Kaye, whose crisp synth work on "Changes" marked the band's definitive break with its art-rock roots. "Owner of a Lonely Heart" was a huge crossover hit, and its orchestral break has been relentlessly sampled by rappers ever since. The vocal harmonies of "Leave It" and the beautifully sprawling "Hearts" are additional high points, but there's nary a duff track on the album. [90125 was reissued by Rhino in 2004 with six bonus tracks, including the previously unissued "It's Over," plus remixes of the singles "Leave It," "Owner of a Lonely Heart," and "It Can Happen."] -- Paul Collins\n\nAmazon.com essential recording \nAfter breaking up at the dawn of the '80s, Yes made a surprise comeback with this 1983 effort. This album (named after its catalog number) featured a retooled band lineup, with guitarist Trevor Rabin and original keyboardist Tony Kaye joining longtime members Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, and Alan White. It also unveiled a newly streamlined sound, courtesy of British avant-pop producer Trevor Horn, who'd briefly replaced frontman Anderson on the pre-breakup album Drama. The new approach made theseEnglish prog-rock vets sound contemporary at the height of the MTV explosion, spawning memorably catchy hits like "Owner of a Lonely Heart," "Leave It," and "It Can Happen." --Scott Schinder \n\nHalf.com Album Credits\nGary Langan, Engineer\nTrevor Horn, Producer\nYes, Producer\n\nAlbum Notes\nYes: Trevor Rabin (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Chris Squire (vocals, bass); Alan White (vocals, drums, percussion); Jon Anderson (vocals); Tony Kaye (keyboards).\n\nAdditional personnel: Jonathan Jeczalik, Dave Lawson (programming).\n\nWhen Jon Anderson rejoined Yes after DRAMA, he was inserting himself into an unusual situation. Keyboardist Geoff Downes and longtime guitarist Steve Howe had left to found Asia with prog rock vets John Wetton and Carl Palmer. Chris Squire and Alan White brought original Yes keysman Tony Kaye back and recruited vibrant young Australian guitarist/vocalist/composer Trevor Rabin. The quartet had already begun writing and recording, but Anderson was able to insert himself into the proceedings with such ease that the new combination sounds completely natural on 90125.\n\nMostly, the band was concerned with trimming the musical fat to keep pace with the onslaught of the '80s. Thus, tracks like "Owner of a Lonely Heart" and "City of Love" are full of samples, splices and almost funky beats and riffs. The unusual time changes and complex riffs of tunes like "Changes" and "Cinema" leave little doubt that this is still a Yes album, but the band succeeds in giving their sound a contemporary overhaul on 90125.
