Slightly off topic here..................... but Trevor Horn related.

Alot of people know that The Buggles were members of Yes for one album (Drama ) but less known is the fact that Trevor Horn played fretless on one track of that album.Chris Squire had written the song around a keyboard part he came up with and convinced Trevor to play bass on the track.

So anyway, here is Trevor Horn playing some nice fretless ( and singing) on Yes' "Run Through The Light"

I didnt know that there was any connection between between the Buggles and Yes. Nice fretless clip

That song is probably the least "prog" on Drama.It's one of their harder edged albums with some of Alan White's finest work.Highly recomended.

Nice version. Is that Geoff Downes at the grand piano, or is this really just a Buggle?

Yep, Horn introduces him and others at the end of the clip. That's pretty cool that he got two of the original backup singers, as well as Downes, the drummer and one other guy from the original recording.

Totally useless trivia: "Video Killed the Radio Star" was the first video ever shown on MTV.
