4 unusual facts about Fly from Here


Adventures in Modern Recording

Both "We Can Fly from Here" and "Riding a Tide" (appearing as demos on the 2010 reissue) were rerecorded by Yes (with Horn as producer and Downes on keyboards) for their 2011 studio album Fly from Here.

Fly from Here

Their first studio album since Magnification (2001), it is also the only one to feature Canadian singer Benoît David, and only the second album (after 1980's Drama) without former singer Jon Anderson and with keyboardist Geoff Downes.

The basis of the song was a demo originally recorded by Downes and Horn of The Buggles before they joined Yes in 1980.

It was a candidate for inclusion on The Buggles' second album, Adventures in Modern Recording (1981) and was eventually featured as a bonus track on the album's 2010 reissue.
